Linda Nau
We have used this company for the past 4 years. I am very happy with them. Before they started doing our 3 acres, there were fire ants every were. After the first application, we had no fire ants for about 5 months. That was just like one or two hills which I took care of. They come out every 6months. I can walk on my property barefooted if I wanted to.

We were overrun with fire ants for years. There wasn't a day that went by when we were working in the yard when we didn't get bitten. We tried the products from the big box stores advertised specfically for fire ants, diazinon, and lawn granule and spray insecticides. Total waste of money. The ants would just move to a new mound. Nothing worked. Until we tried these folks. Wow! Within a month the ants were GONE. That was two years ago and the fire ants haven't been back. We get treated every four months and it seems to be about right. No ants, period. I was skeptical at the beginning but after the first month I became a true believer. Considering the aggravation and pain of dealing with fire ant bites, this service is a bargain. You won't be disappointed. These folks show up when they say they will, cover our 5 acres very thoroughly (including the swale), and are respectful of the property. I can't recommend them highly enough. A+++

Sharon Huston
Hunter came to my farm and we chatted about the job and my biggest concern was my 5 acre cow pasture that has a lot of large oak trees and in the fall I had not yet cleaned it up from summer hurricanes so when here the last time it was limited how much he could cover. This time he went above and beyond and made sure the entire farm was done! Great job and I’m extremely happy and will definitely give highest ratings!!
Provider response
Thank you for the great review. We will share your comments with Hunter. We are blessed to have such wonderful staff that continue to be receptive to our customer's needs. We look forward to working with you in the future.

LOVE this company. from there customer service to their hot sauce. if for some reason you still have fire ant issues after their applications, they will come back no questions asked. RARELY do we need them to come back out, however, real world happens and Fire ants in FL are horrible. you can rely on Fire Ant Specialists!
Provider response

Please within a few days those fire ants are everywhere m. I have left you a voice message and suggested you call or text me immediately to handle this continuing problem cuz you were just here and we are overwhelmed with fire ants please help
Provider response
Thank you for your feedback. After our discussion, we learned that your initial contact attempts were unsuccessful because you reached out to your previous pest control provider instead of Fire Ant Specialists. We are dedicated to promptly responding to our customers' inquiries and take pride in our customer service. We appreciate our previous conversation and anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with you in the future.
Diane Paradiso
I have used this company for three years, have referred numerous people. Great product, Hunter who spreads is great. Communication terrible. They schedule you, no one shows up. Sometimes you even get an invoice for service that wasn’t done. Terrible run business ,BUT,! I have to add that they were apologetic and made things right. Great product and in the end, a better outcome.
Provider response

Jennifer Mabrey
I was quite happy with ESI initially, however I was due for fire ant treatment in October and despite multiple calls and attempts to get them to come out-they have not. I was told a few different times that rain had backed up scheduling-I totally understand how that can happen in Florida. My issue is that they told me on 2 separate occasions they would show up and they did not. Then when my husband tried calling them to find out what was going on he never received a call back. Because of this delay, fire ant mounds are popping up like crazy which is a real bummer. Now I am back to dealing with fire ants and trying to find a new provider. UPDATE-Soon after posting this I received a call from ESI and I decided to give them one last chance. They arrived on the day they were scheduled and the owner comped this yard treatment due to all the hassle. Thank you ESI.
Provider response
Mrs. Mabrey,<br>We appreciate your business and understanding the past Florida weather patterns and how they can effect our business practices. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. Our technician will reach out to you to schedule a visit if you still choose to continue to use our services. Thank you, Management.
