Proforce Pest Control - Tampa

4.6(1950)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Proforce technicians consistently deliver professional, thorough work and staff like Blake, Michael, Victor, and Adrian earn genuine praise for knowledge and attention to detail. However, a significant stripe of customers report feeling misled about coverage and scope, encounter aggressive sales tactics, and struggle with refunds and unresolved concerns when service falls short of promises. The core tension is clear: field technicians excel, but sales and customer service stumble when problems emerge. Some pay $90 monthly and see minimal treatment; others appreciate transparent invoicing and flexible plans. Prospective customers must read their contract carefully and confirm what interior or exterior coverage they are actually purchasing.

Terminix

4.8(38)✓ Google-verified

Most customers praise Terminix for the professionalism of technicians like Alexander Cintron and David Escobar, who explain treatments clearly and show up on schedule. One customer struggled with recurring ghost ants and carpenter ants despite quarterly service, and reported being denied a refund after requesting cancellation before the billing date. Bundled quarterly pest and termite packages are popular. Reviewers consistently mention feeling listened to and kept informed about treatment steps. The lone one-star complaint centered on service effectiveness and business office handling of cancellation requests, not fieldwork quality.
