Our Review

In 1949, Dempsey Sapp, Sr. founded Florida Pest Control & Chemical Company in Gainesville, Florida. It began as a retail garden store that offered pest management services. More than 70 years later, Florida Pest Control has grown to become a well-respected, full-service, family-owned business specializing in residential and commercial pest control services.

The company has more than 20 locations but they are all located in the central and northern part of Florida. Outside of the pest control services it’s become known for, Florida Pest Control also offers lawn care maintenance plans to help keep yards looking healthy and manicured.

Florida Pest Control ticks all the boxes! They were very quick to respond when we called them for a home inspection. We suspected we had a termite infestation and they confirmed it. Proposal came back the same day at a very reasonable price. Timeline for treatment was left up to us. They guided us through all the steps of preparing the home. They were on time and professional throughout the process. We were reassured that our home would be safe. Treatment was effective and straightforward.

We recently moved into a house and I just had a preventative termite treatment (Termidor) done by Florida Pest Control and they were excellent. I called around to three pest control companies to get quotes and Florida Pest Control was by far the most prompt and courteous. They had to trench around the house to install the treatment and put everything back just as they found it. I would highly recommend them.

I’m so glad I gave them a call! They are really nice people and they work around my schedule. If I need anything, Joe’s always there to make sure things get done to my liking. Also, they are very friendly and respectful with my four dogs. I couldn’t be happier.
