Pest Control
 
I need some thoughts and recommendations on pest control services. Who is the best and most reasonably priced. This is for in the home pest control. Thanks

Sorry but I do my own and use professional strength chemicals and roach baits. If I were using a pro I would use a single operator and not a big company.

Superior services.

Good luck on one reasonably priced that does a good job. We tried many, none were cheap but the one that has been best in keeping pests out of the house has been Massey. I have friends that love Deans also.

superior service didn't do a good job for us and we fired them.
they have young kids that don't know squat and frequently change employees.
Beware in my opinion.

Massey , has been around for years. I have used them for last three years, no complaints.

Haha! Well, just goes to show you that all of these "service" type businesses have their ups & downs. We (like JoeJohnson above) have Superior Services and have had zero issues/problems. Yes, they have some "trainees" along with the main crew at times, but that's actually a good sign I think, that they're being serious about how they grow/maintain their workforce. At any rate....just like Yelp & TripAdvisor reviews for restaurants, for every 4-5 Star review, there are a few 1-2 Star reports.

I'd be willing to try Superior and let them show you what they can do. Oh, I should mention that we use them for everything, not just indoor pest control, so we see a wider range of their services and crews. Good luck!!

Here is the company that we have used for years...yes...years.

Citrus Pest Control
352-564-1800

They are a Family Owned and Operated, licensed and insured.

I have never had an issue with them reliable and honest.:plane:

Massey is the best! I have used them for five years. If I ever see a roach in the house, it will be dying due to having crossed their barrier. That has just happened maybe once a year!

Do not cheap out and do it yourself.

Does Massey do yards? Or are they strictly inside pest control?

Massey does pest control outside as well as inside. They use both a spray and a granular herbicide, fungicide and insecticide on the beds and yard.

We do it ourselves and it is easy and very inexpensive. There are many Do-it yourself stores in the area.

Bottle of Talstar P concentrate runs around $30 and a sprayer from walmart is about $6. The bottle lasts about 3 years. mixing 2 oz per gallon, and using about 3 gallons on a 2000 square ft home. I also spray the bushes for mosquitos so I use lots of spray.

Every 4 months or so spray the outside perimeter and every 6 months spray the inside of the house.

Outside kills the bugs before they get in..... but Talstar P is safe for indoors and I spray the baseboards just to be sure nothing gets past.

No bugs here...... Easy peasey.....give it a try....

Massey sounds good.

Go Dawgs 07-22-2016 08:56 PM

Massey is good on home pest control. However some of their lawns appear to be lacking.
I've also heard a lot of good things about Deans.
