Pest control for both homes and lawns is a big business here in TV. There are some very good companies doing that work as well as a lot of rip-off artists. Before signing a long term contract or paying big bucks up front, check out the company with the Better Business Bureau and both offices of Seniors Vs Crime here in TV - see what kind of record they have. Then get references (well, you are already doing that in this forum, to some extent), talk to several services and get estimates for costs, and then make your decision. Initially try to stay out of long term commitments so you can easily change services if the service is not up to your standards. One other thing, every person and every company in this state that applies pesticides or chemicals of any type to your yard or home has to be licensed by the State of Florida, Department of Agriculture - ask for their license number. You can check it's validity on line at the Dept. of Agriculture web site.
