No need for contracted pest services -- we take care on our own. We do, however, retain a service for termite control.

A couple of lizards have taken up residence on our lanai, so I hardly ever see bugs out there any more...
We, too, dumped Massey as they are totally worthless, but kept the termite stuff, but FL doesn’t have a termite problem, per UF. Twice a year I put a heavy boundary of Triazizide around the outside of our house and I spray Home Defense around all windows, doors, and garage. We don’t have bugs of any kind except mosquitoes and I fog for them!
