"I'm posting my Complaint Description which I submitted to Better Business Bureau today Buyers Be Aware of this company please read bellow: Extort initial fee of service out of us and performed less than half of what was promised to what we paid for May 2nd, 2020 Service date. Hired this company to do outside pest control, initial clean-up outside which included knocking down spider webs, wasp nests. Bill sales rep promised to have his tech come over May 2nd, 2020 to do outside pest control spray and initial clean-up knocking down spider webs, wasp nest around home, eaves area, lanai and screen enclosure. Tech came in the morning May 2nd did quick spray and performed none of the initial clean-up as company promised. Their tech was in and out of our property in literally less than 7 minutes. Needless to say did nothing of the initial clean-up for what we paid $100 for. It's apparent this company involves in deceiving trade practices to lure in customers initially. At this time I've to rely on a leap of faith as to if the May 2nd outdoor bug-spray whether or not was performed with any integrity or competence at all. Needless to say would be naive for us to believe that it was. Since all the deceiving green shoots that Apex through our way to extort initial fee of service out of us which we paid via credit card before the work was performed and Apex performed less than half of what was promised to what we paid for (and by the way what was done was also performed with the incompetence of epic proportion); We asked Apex to refund $34 to our credit card for initial clean-up and they can keep $66 from $100 that we paid for outdoor spray/clean-up which I said I have no reason to believe given what I have seen that even mere a spray was done with any professionalism or competence. James from Apex replied on May 4th, 2020 that he would refund the money but then company still refuse to do so or even reply back to our 3 attempts to get status on the refund that they promised. I have all of this in writing as a proof of all of the events I mentioned above (emails and texts). I also have photos of the lack of work, professionalism and incompetency performed at our property on May 2nd by this company albeit in less than 7 minutes that their tech was here on our property. Please help us get our money back from this company that we paid for initial clean-up which they never honored. Thanks"

Nvirotect was the first company in Florida to receive the Green Pro designation for environmentally friendly pest control practices. Since then we have continued to develop state of the art procedures for the Green Pest Control Industry. We are 100% focused on providing each and every one of our customers a world class service experience while maintaining the strictest business ethics and quality control procedures. If you choose Nvirotect you can count on a consistent approach, and you can count on us being your provider for many years to come.

"Fraud! Nvirotect is not a reputable company! Steer clear! I have been a customer since 2021. Money wasted! Beware of Nvirotech Lawn Co! My experience with this company was nothing short of a nightmare. They promised a lush, green lawn but delivered dead patches and weeds. Despite several complaints and consistent communication about my dissatisfaction, their customer service employed fraudulent tactics. They led me to believe I had switched from an annual agreement to a month-to-month contract, providing them with additional months to improve their services and my lawn. After six more months of trying to give them a chance to improve, I finally decided to terminate my supposed month-to-month service. However, they then claimed I was never on a month-to-month agreement but was instead locked into an annual contract and demanded payment for a full 12 months of awful service. When I refused to pay, they sent me to a collections agency. Save your money, lawn, and time—avoid this fraudulent company at all costs!! Do yourself a favor and seek out another service. I have since reported them to the BBB."

"We had been invaded by german roaches due to bringing home some boxes that were infested. We could not even slow them down so we asked around about an exterminator and looked some up online. We found Chet's and had them come out. They have been treating our house and yard ever since. I liked that there was no spraying or bad smelling treatment. There was the orange gel or paste that they put around our kitchen. The best part is it worked great and within a few months we were roach free. I would advise anyone that needs this service to call Chet's. They do a great job. Frank comes every other month to make sure we have no repeat of the problem. Thanks Chet's and Frank for your job well done."

FAQs for animal removal projects in Tampa, FL

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems. 

Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.

Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:

  • Bats

  • Birds

  • Groundhogs

  • Moles and voles

  • Opossums

  • Mice and rats

  • Raccoons

  • Skunks

  • Squirrels

The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area. 

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400

This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
