Our comprehensive termite treatment combines advanced chemical barriers with precise application techniques to eliminate both drywood and subterranean termites. Each treatment includes a detailed 57-point inspection to identify infestation sources and structural vulnerabilities. Our licensed technicians use industry-leading products like Termidor while maintaining strict safety protocols for residential environments. With over 30 years of experience addressing Tampa Bay's unique termite challenges, we guarantee complete eradication or your money back. Regular follow-up inspections ensure long-term protection against future infestations.
Pest Control
Our monthly pest control service targets common household pests including roaches, ants, spiders, and rodents using integrated pest management strategies. Technicians apply protective perimeter treatments while addressing indoor infestation points with targeted applications. The service includes seasonal adjustments to combat Tampa's climate-specific pest patterns and comes with a satisfaction guarantee. Regular visits maintain continuous protection while technicians monitor for emerging pest issues. Our approach balances effectiveness with environmental responsibility through judicious chemical use.

Professional tent fumigation services address severe drywood termite infestations using state-certified protocols. Our process includes thorough property preparation guidance, precise Vikane gas application, and mandatory safety monitoring. Technicians provide post-treatment clearance testing to ensure complete eradication. The service includes follow-up inspections and comes with our standard money-back guarantee.

Customized mosquito control programs reduce breeding grounds and establish protective barriers around residential properties.

Regular applications significantly reduce mosquito populations, creating more enjoyable outdoor living spaces while minimizing disease transmission risks.

Chet's is a great company and I would recommend them to anyone they spray my home every couple months and I have no issues with any kind of pests my technician that comes out is very professional just a great person overall. I have used the company for the last couple years and have used them in the past I have no issues. The office people are also very professional and friendly. If I could give them 10 Stars I would.

We have had the same technician since we signed up for Chets almost 3 years ago. Eduardo is very personable and knowledgeable. I watch him perform his duties and he is very thorough and does not rush. He takes the time to get all the spider webs removed and spray all along the edges and corners of mu whole house, indoors and outdoor. I highly recommend Chets for your Pest Management needs.

The guys from Chet's were very professional, courteous and helpful. Although the inspection was a little shorter than expected, I'm confident in their analysis as the previous homeowner has been a Chet's customer for years. The ability to continue with the previous owners warranty was a nice bonus so hope I don't ever need it! Thanks again see you next year!

We've been using Chet's for over a year now, as they were recommended by the previous owners & I highly recommend. They are beyond helpful, efficient, friendly and timely. Frank is great & gets the job done. Chets comes by every two months to do routine exterminations and we also have used them for termite tenting.
