Pest Control
Our residential pest control plans protect Tampa Bay homes from 25+ common pests, including ants, cockroaches, and spiders. Monthly or quarterly treatments create protective barriers using eco-conscious methods. Technicians perform thorough inspections, interior/exterior treatments, and web/nest removal to ensure lasting results.
Termite Control
We eliminate subterranean and drywood termites using Sentricon bait systems and Termidor treatments. Services include free inspections, colony eradication, and exclusion strategies. Backed by a $1,000,000 damage warranty, our solutions protect properties from costly structural damage through annual monitoring and re-treatment guarantees.
Mosquito Control
Seasonal mosquito treatments target breeding sites and resting areas to reduce populations by 90%. Our barrier sprays last 21 days, while one-time event services ensure pest-free outdoor gatherings. Treatments are applied every other month to maintain protection throughout Floridas humid climate.
Rodent Control
We address rodent infestations through trapping, exclusion, and attic restoration. Technicians seal entry points with chew-proof materials, install exterior bait stations, and replace contaminated insulation. Six-month to one-year warranties cover re-infestations, with attic deodorization and pest-resistant insulation included in comprehensive packages.
Commercial Pest Control
Customized IPM programs protect Tampa Bay businesses from pests threatening health codes and operations. Services include facility inspections, quarterly treatments, and documentation for compliance. Specialized solutions for warehouses, healthcare facilities, and HOAs ensure minimal disruption and long-term pest prevention.

I have been advised by the company owner to not reveal the name of the person they sent to my home however that person was the only person alone in our house since the start of the pandemic. When this person left my house, all of my rings (engagement ring, gift ring from mother) we're gone. The owner asked me to call the police to get a case number. I had no response from owner. Stole approximately $3,000.00 worth of jewelry. No offer from this company. To help. Thieves. be careful. Don't use them, they will rob you.

I signed up with Anti-Pesto the day I closed on my house. I have had several services performed at this point, and I am always pleased with their professionalism and thoroughness. There have been multiple times that my technician Shane has gone above and beyond by observing certain situations at my house and acting on them to give me the best possible pest control. I really appreciate the high quality service!
