Richie Hernandez
I don’t usually leave reviews, but Dave’s Pest Control earned this one 😂 These bugs had me feeling like I was paying rent and THEY were the owners. Called Dave’s, they showed up on time, no nonsense, explained everything without talking over my head, and got straight to work. Now? Bugs are gone. Evicted. No forwarding address. Super professional, easy to deal with, and they actually do what they say they’re gonna do which nowadays is rare. If you’ve got pests acting like they pay bills at your house, call Dave’s Pest Control and let them handle it. Brian Townsend is the man.
Provider response
Hello Richie,<br><br>This might be one of our favorite reviews yet! We’re so glad Brian was able to step in and evict those unwanted pests for good, he’ll definitely appreciate the shoutout! It’s great to hear the process was clear, professional, and hassle free from start to finish. Thank you for trusting Dave’s Pest Control. We’re always here to help keep your home protected!<br><br>Best,<br>Joe, the Owner<br>

Elisa Pooh
Marissa is the best technician I have ever had. I had a nasty infestation of tiny roaches from the multitude of Amazon boxes in my garage. (No judgement.) She came every single week until they were all gone! Now I can leave my house open in this beautiful weather and not worry about any bugs finding their way into my home. I have also stopped piling up the Amazon boxes and I immediately break them down and throw them out, lol. I cannot recommend Dave's Pest Control enough and specifically Marissa. They will not disappoint!
Provider response
Hello Elisa,<br><br>Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Marissa went above and beyond to take care of the infestation and that your home is now protected. It’s great to know her dedication made such a difference, and we appreciate your kind recommendation.

The technician from Daves pest Control was excellent. Jeremy Jerry was very kind, attentive, and professional. I asked him if the product he was using was safe for my baby, and he kindly reassured me that it was baby-friendly and that I shouldn’t worry. He worked quickly and was very respectful the entire time. Overall, it was a great experience and great service

Josie Hardee
My insurance paid for this service. We are still on getting rid of ALL the bugs. They’re supposed to come every two weeks so they can kill the babies. This company doesn’t keep appointments or changes them every freakin time. Sposed to come today, Friday 8/1/25 and I called to double check. Someone in the office moved it to Saturday when I’d already told them Saturday would not work. Their service men have been A+ but the scheduling department is awful so I can’t give a good review.
Provider response
Hi Josie,<br><br>Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the scheduling issues you encountered, this was not the level of service we aim to provide. While we’re glad to hear our technicians delivered excellent service, we understand how frustrating appointment changes can be. Since then, we’ve taken steps to improve our scheduling process to help prevent this moving forward. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve.<br><br>Best,<br>Joe, the Owner
Carmen Vannoy

Provider response
Hi Carmen,<br><br>We're very sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your frustration. Our team has reached out to follow up, and we’ve scheduled another visit to continue addressing the issue. We sincerely apologize for the missed appointments and the inconvenience this has caused. To help make things right, we’ve applied an $80 credit to your account.<br>We’re committed to resolving this roach problem and appreciate your patience as it can take time, especially in severe cases. Please know that we’re here to support you every step of the way.<br><br>Best,<br>Joe, the Owner
Cathy Davis
What is meant by Free Estimate? Should change that on your website. I had appointment scheduled today that was made a week ago and took off work just to be at home for this appointment and looks like at last minute the estimate is not free and well the appointment canceled at last minute. Very sad. I guess the estimate is free as long as you have a problem. Might want to change that Free Estimate note on your website with a blurb that says "must have existing problem for us to come out for a free estimate". LOL!
Provider response
Hi Cathy,<br><br>Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry for the misunderstanding. To clarify, all of our inspections and estimates for pest issues are completely free of charge. However, in your case, the request was specifically for a WDO report, which is a state-regulated document with high liability and therefore falls under a paid service.<br><br>Best,<br>Joe, the Owner

Update the day after. ****Joe the owner responded here(see below) and Dan the service manager called me directly today. We talked about the quick first service and Dan said that was not what was intended, that this initial service is a lot more in depth and that he would be sending another tech out to perform the service again as intended. He said he will call and let me know a day and time. This is pretty prompt customer service, and I'd say the combo of Joe and Dan have put me at ease and I really believe there is going to be some good results and good service from Dave's Pest Control. *** I will update again if need be, otherwise I'm going to be preemptive and bump the rating up. Just started the service, will see how it does for pest control. The initial review stems from the fact that they charge a very expensive first fee to start service, its well over $200 and there is no reason for it. When compared to my prior pest control(my guy retired). They spent less time on site than he did on regular visits, unfortunately this just seems like a money grab at the beginning incase you cancel after the initial service, however they have you sign a one year agreement before canceling service, so there is no need for the ridiculous overcharge on the initial service. Can update this review as I go, I have reached out and Sarah from the Sanford branch has responded back so we will see how that goes, so far she just went over what services were performed. My house is 2,400 sq feet and the initial service did not take much time.
Provider response
Hi Ordinarypro,<br><br>Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations. We'd like to clarify that our treatments are backed by a service guarantee. If there’s ever an issue between visits or if you’re not satisfied, we’re happy to come back and retreat at no additional cost. Our service includes treatment for general household pests and also covers rodent control. We’d appreciate speaking with you directly to better understand your concerns. Please feel free to reach out to us at (386) 767-7451.<br><br>Best,<br>Joe, the Owner

Let me start by saying this is the first negative review I have EVER left. I NEVER complain. If I get the wrong food at a restaurant, I still eat it and still tip 20% because stuff happens. But one star is giving this business WAY too much credit. I called them to treat my mother in law’s home for a german roach infestation. She is elderly. I have been helping her deep clean her home but it is just pointless until the bugs are gone. The guy I spoke to on the phone with Dave’s didn’t seem to know any answers to any of my questions. He kept putting me on hold to ask someone else. I asked him multiple times if there was a GUARANTEE because that’s the main thing I was looking for. He assured me and said they “guaranteed” the roaches would be gone in 3 months. Against my better judgement, I decided to go with them. Mind you, this service isn’t cheap. I was told I would get a confirmation phone call / reminder each time before they came out. Well, that never happened. So they would show up early in the morning (unannounced) to my elderly mother in law’s home. I know German roaches are extremely hard to get rid of. It’s something you have to stay ontop of. The employees showed up without any kind of schedule, just every few weeks or so. The bug problem actually managed to get WORSE under their care. They cancelled last minute more than one time. One girl showed up and left immediately due to personal reasons, and another guy knocked on the door and by the time my MIL answered it, which was right away, the guy was already in his car ready to leave. PURE LAZINESS! I called to cancel and asked about getting my money back since I was told there was a guarantee. They said I could not get any of my money back. I asked to speak to the manager, which took multiple phone calls on my end to end up speaking to him. He told me he would do whatever it took to get the bad taste of their company out of my mouth and he would call me with a solution. That was almost 2 weeks ago and I never heard from him… shocker. Laziest company ever, a complete waste of time and money. Super disappointed.

Robyn Spurr-Ospina
This company is the absolute worst! I wouldn't recommend ever trusting them with anything! I've had them since November, they've promised me the sun, the moon and the stars yet they can't even show up for a single appointment!!! This has been going on since April, and I've threatened to cancel and they keep telling me I'm in a contract. Cancel my damn contract! You suck! I've paid you EVERY month and get NOTHiNG in return, except headaches! I just keep hearing, "We don't have a tech in your area today. We are so sorry".....but you've scheduled so many appointments and bailed every time on me! Save yourself the hassle and stick with Massey!
Provider response
Dear Robyn Spurr,<br><br>We're genuinely sorry to hear about your frustration and the experience you've had and I can understand why you’re upset. We strive to provide reliable service, and it’s clear we missed the mark with you. It’s completely fair to expect appointments to be kept, and we apologize for the repeated letdowns. <br><br>We’d like to make this right. Please reach out to us directly so we can find a solution that works for you. We appreciate your feedback, even when it’s tough to hear, as it helps us improve. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we’re committed to resolving it.<br><br>Warm regards,<br>Joe, the Owner
