What do recent reviews say?

Most reviewers praise Hughes for courteous technicians like Micah, Nicole, and Gary who arrive on time and handle pest issues efficiently. Pricing is called reasonable, and staff makes extra visits readily available. However, a handful report missed appointments, technicians showing up at wrong times, poor phone communication, and one customer saw lawn conditions decline under their lawn service before switching providers.

Haskell Termite & Pest Control Inc.

3.7(137)✓ Google-verified

Loyal customers praise specific technicians like Sylwester, Luis, Peter, and Megan for professionalism and solving stubborn pest problems. Service quality appears uneven: strong termite and rodent work wins repeat business, but several complaints cite cancellations, landscaping damage without compensation, and dismissive handling of safety concerns. The company has been operating since 1992 and serves Tampa Bay commercially and residentially. Quarterly plans work well for preventative customers, yet inconsistent experiences suggest reliance on individual technician quality rather than consistent protocols.

Truly Nolen Pest & Termite Control

4.8(1203)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Truly Nolen's 4.8-star rating across over 1200 reviews reflects strong execution when named techs like Tyler, Jimmy, and Terry deliver service. Customers praise thoroughness, responsiveness, and genuine care for problem-solving. One scathing account documents a 15-year customer hit with $1600 for unperformed rodent work, no-shows after two reschedules, and unanswered callback promises, raising hard questions about billing consistency and management follow-through. Their website claims 80 years in business and service areas across Tampa Bay. Most recent feedback celebrates specific technicians' speed and professionalism, though the severe complaint sits unresolved and suggests systemic gaps: pricing variability, weak callback discipline, and occasional tech negligence (one account of a tech smoking without spraying). Consistency between branches and locations appears uneven.
