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.
