Services
Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control addresses common Southwest Florida pests including ants, roaches, and gnats. Using residual insecticides and bait formulations, we create protective barriers around properties while offering chemical-free alternatives. Treatments target both interior and exterior entry points with customizable plans that adapt to homeowner preferences and environmental considerations.
Mosquito Control
This seasonal program reduces mosquito populations through perimeter treatments and breeding site elimination. Our technicians identify standing water sources and apply targeted solutions while offering monitoring trap installations. The service combines immediate relief with long-term prevention strategies to protect outdoor living spaces throughout Florida's mosquito season.
Rodent Eradication
Specialized rat control targets roof rats and other common Florida species through strategic trapping and exclusion techniques. We address structural vulnerabilities while implementing preventive measures against future infestations. Our approach combines traditional methods with modern solutions to eliminate existing populations and prevent property damage from gnawing and nesting behaviors.
Spider Program
This targeted service addresses dangerous Florida spiders like black widows and brown recluses. Technicians perform web removal and apply residual treatments in problem areas while educating homeowners on prevention strategies. The program includes both reactive treatments and ongoing protection against common household spider infestations through regular maintenance visits.
Termite Protection
Our termite control combines initial comprehensive inspections with ongoing protection plans. Using advanced detection methods and targeted treatments, we create defense systems against subterranean and drywood termites. Services include structural evaluations, vulnerable point treatments, and preventive measures to protect property investments from costly wood-destroying insect damage.

I have used a Better Bugman for years now. Dependable service and quality exterminator results. I would recommend ABB to anyone seeking an exterminator for their home.

Takes care of our pest control. Rarely ever see insects inside, and rarely a problem even outside eating bushes. Excellent company, honest, attentive, very competent and easy to work with.

We had a problem with tiny ants in our kitchen. Fast moving almost transparent looking suckers. We called A Better BugMan and they came out same day, sprayed outside, laid bait inside and *poof* they were gone in a day and a half. Very reasonably priced, very professional and personable, main office and Evan who was the tech that came out. Highly recommend!

Very disappointed in the service. Tried to help a local guy out and got robbed! He took our $150.00, showed up once a never saw him again. It's now been 3 months and still nothing! Giving local people bad names!
