What recent reviews say

Most customers praise Drake's knowledgeable technicians, responsive communication, and visible lawn improvements within weeks. Service includes pest control, mosquito treatment, and lawn care with multiple follow-ups and on-time visits.

A minority report significant gaps: one customer saw no results over a year of monthly service and never heard back from management after complaints; another suffered permanent marble staining and driveway damage from careless chemical application. Responses to complaints vary widely.

Strong, consistent delivery across every visit. Named technicians like David M, Abraeo, and Brandon arrive on time, explain treatments clearly, and handle wildlife and pest emergencies with calm expertise. One reviewer noted uncertainty after leaving during treatment, but the 92% five-star rate and repeat customers across years signal reliable execution. Orkin covers the full range: bed bugs, termites, rodents, fire ants, fleas, stinging insects, and birds. Their website claims over 125 years in business and service across multiple Tampa Bay suburbs. Technicians regularly earn individual praise for going above and beyond, making recurring service feel personal rather than transactional.

Proforce Pest Control - Tampa

4.6(1951)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Proforce earns strong praise for named technicians-Adrian, Dequan, Michael, Hunter, Nicholas, Peter, and Jocelyn among them-who show up on time with clear invoices and photos. Customers report transparent communication and honest scope explanations. However, some rodent clients feel shortchanged: staff won't move appliances or climb roofs to find entry points, leaving customers to solve the problem themselves. One billing complaint and a solicitation complaint round out the friction. Multiple reviewers single out staff by name and commend their professionalism and knowledge. The company's stated service areas cover Tampa and surrounding neighborhoods. A minority of one-star reviews flag limitations on wildlife work and invoicing friction, but 87% five-star rating suggests these are outliers.

Over four years, most clients see their pest issues vanish and credit named technicians David Escobar and Alexander Cintron-Rivera for consistent, attentive work. One customer struggled with ghost ants despite quarterly service and objected to aggressive upselling and refund denial; staff responsiveness to service gaps appears inconsistent.
