Michael Mosner
Besides doing a lousy job on my property, the owner is one of the most miserable and nasty people I ever encountered in business. There was an issue where parts of my lawn were burned beyond repair. Based on the patterns of damage it appeared to be a chemical burn. BF came out to inspect and blamed irrigation, the lawn service company, and the home watch service who sprayed weeds on my driveway. They blamed everyone and refused to take responsibility. We've been away for a couple of months and trusted BF to control fertilization and insect on our property. If the lawn damage isn't indicative of the lousy work they do, the hibiscus in the picture certainly is. The mealy bug damage has been ongoing and definitely incorrectly treated or ignored. Lousy service and a worse attitude seems to be the hallmark of this company
Provider response
This customer was FIRED by us and refunded for his last service as per our Guarantee. As a company owner, I am committed to protecting my employees from rude and disrespectful customer interactions. Our numerous five-star reviews reflect our usual customer experience, and this particular individual's behavior was an exception. We made extensive efforts to address their concerns, including demonstrating the inadequacy of their irrigation with a rain gauge, and literally watched the home watcher spray weeds with roundup (By the way this is illegal in Florida without a limited license). This is only the second time we have fired a customer in almost 20 years of business. It takes a lot to get to the point of firing a customer, and we do not take it lightly, but my employees' well-being is more important to me.

Prior to utilizing Blue Frog for my lawn & landscaping treatments, my yard was in poor condition, ranging from thin and bare areas in the lawn to large patches of weed growth. Since Blue Frog has been treating my yard, my lawn has returned to its full, healthy appearance and the landscaping looks healthier than it ever did! I want to credit the technicians who are very courteous and focused on providing proper treatments, and are very knowledgable and capable of answering any questions you may have about your yard or the treatment they are providing. This service extends not only to the technicians who perform the treatments, but to the office personnel as well, namely Crystal, who has been able to answer my questions when I call in a very professional and knowledgeable manner, and is always ready to address any concerns that I may have.
Provider response
Thank you for your kind words of praise, we try very hard to make our customers happy. We make sure your technician as well as Crystal knows how happy you are.

Patricia Wingenfeld
Ive had Blue Frog Lawn & Bugs taking care of my yard with a 8/4 program for a month now replacing the service i had with a different company i had been with for 18 years. I can honestly say that BFL&B technician Anthony as well as other staff have demonstrated dilligence and professionalism and excellent customer service. The staff call prior to the appointment. Anthony checks the property over after the treatment and follows up with treatment as necessary. I'm totally pleased and glad i made the decision to switch. Sometimes, when companies get too big your customer service fades. This is what I think happened with the other company.
Provider response
Thank you so much, Patricia, for the fantastic 5-star review! We’re honored you made the switch to Blue Frog Lawn & Bugs for your lawn care and pest control services after 18 years with another provider.

Chris Lisle
They did not show up on time, no one called me that they were going to be late. They give me no assurance that they will do a good job. What a waste of time.
Provider response
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. It’s clear that we fell short in both communication and reliability, and I completely understand your frustration. Our goal is to provide excellent service, and it’s disappointing to hear that we missed the mark. We had a miscommunication with our sales person who was going to give you an estimate. <br><br>We appreciate your feedback and are using it to ensure better communication in the future. If you're open to it, we would love to discuss this further and find a way to regain your trust. Your time is valuable, and we hope to have the chance to make it right.<br><br>Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Ron Lederman
Blue frog is lucky to have Crystal representing you as a business she is professional- friendly and answers all of our questions in a timely manner - she should be acknowledged and look forward to a long relationship
Provider response
Thank you so much! We totally agree!<br>
Andrew Tobias
AVOID THIS COMPANY! I wrote a negative review on 12/25 & instead of apologizing for the poor service, they insulted me in their response. I have left numerous messages to speak with the owner (Pete) & never got a call. Tremendously unprofessional! If I had more than 1 email address, I'd fill their website with poor reviews. Negative reviews are part of the business, Pete, & when you receive a negative review, you should be professional & apologize for the poor service. and when somebody calls you & leaves as many messages as I have, you call them back.
Doug Coulton
We just started using blue frog so far it’s been great. The backyard already looks better!!!!. And Jesse has been great he actually talks to me and my wife when he shows up!!! And he explains what he’s going to do. And he is always pleasant.
Provider response
Thank you for the nice review Mr Coulton. Jesse is a great asset to us here and we are so glad you are happy with his work. We will make sure he knows how happy you are with him and the company.

Provider response
Thank you Mrs Prosser, Alex is a great member of our team and his efforts to make our customers happy does not go unnoticed. We are glad to have him here, and will let him know about your kind words.
Nick Hall
It is a pleasure working with BlueFrog. Their staff is well spoken, knowledgeable, calls ahead, identifies issues and informs their client(s) appropriately for a reasonable and fair value. ITS better and more consistent than doing it yourself with the correct application rates. THANK YOU, NICK
Provider response
Thank you Mr. Hall, we very much appreciate you and your kind words.
Andrew Tobias
We hired Blue Frog when we bought our house in July 2022. At that time, the house was used as a vacation home, so we weren't here to ensure they were doing their job. I retired In December 2023 & we moved here permanently. The lawn has gotten progressively worse every month. I called them to complain & they said somebody would come by, but we never saw anybody. We also have a dog that barks at everything & he never barked at anything but yet I paid them every month. The lawn is in complete distress now, so I hired a new company & fired Blue Frog. they were a complete waste if money & now I need to pay these new people to fix the problem Blue Frog caused. Who knows how long it will take to get my lawn back to what it looked like when we bought the house 2.5 years ago. I feel like I should get a refund of everything I paid them since they obviously never did their job. Do not use Blue Frog!
Provider response
Well Bah Humbug to you Mr. Grinch, and thank you for your review on Christmas Morning!<br>As a company Policy, we take photos of the property during every service, provide you with an emailed service ticket with information on the work performed, and any observations we made while on the property. We also Call every homeowner that we do not speak with at the time of service, either from a blocked cell phone number right then from the property, or when the tech returns to the office in the afternoon. Your Voicemail is consistently full and we have notes to that effect over the last 2 and a half years. <br>It is interesting to me however that you mention you calling and nothing happening as we do keep record of every phone call into the office and the only one was on December 23rd after 5 PM. This call was retrieved on the 26th and Andy the manager immediately called (and got your voicemail) then visited the property to speak with you. He made sure he knocked and waved at your doorbell camera. He was quite startled by the dog running into and bouncing off of the door, so we do agree that the dog reacts when someone knocks on the door. Even though he heard a female voice yelling at the dog, no one ever answered the door. <br>After speaking with the technician who services your property, he assured me that the dog always goes crazy when he knocks on the door. He also mentioned that you have cameras around the property, so I am sure you can tell that we were there each time. He also mentioned that you did answer the phone after the last service and hurriedly got off saying "Great that's fine thank you". He also noted that he had communicated with your mower in the past who mentioned that your only issue was some dayflower weeds in the turf.<br>According to the original agreement your yard was in rough shape and the sides and back looked to not have been serviced in the past (the photos confirm that). We have done in my opinion a great job working with what we had to start with. I will be more than happy to show you the pictures of your turf in August and October of 2022, when we started, as well as the progression from Dec 2023 to Dec 2024. <br>The only issue on the property we see is your irrigation which has been noted repeatedly over the years. Every time we have a dry period the front lawn dries out. Once we get rain it looks great again. <br>Again we have 2 years of photos that follow the same pattern. Even the last service ticket addresses the inconsistency of your irrigation. In fact the notes were "Please check your irrigation zones dry areas on the front yard". It seems that with better communication from you, we could assist in helping you find an irrigation company, and we would not be in this situation.<br>We have a very good reputation in your neighborhood and service 20+ of your neighbors. Most of which have irrigation issues as the original layout was subpar, but they communicate with us and we have had quite a few have their irrigation companies fix the issues resulting in much better looking yards. <br>We respectfully ask that you reconsider your 1 star review. We are more than happy to meet you on the property and address any issues and help in any way possible

We had a lawn infested with fungus in our old home, so when we built a new house on the same lot, went with the recommendation of the landscaper and hired Blue Frog Lawn and Bugs to take care of pest control, fertilization and fungus for the lawn and garden areas. The lawn looks very nice and I've no complaints about that portion. However, they did not take responsibility for the garden areas, leaving me repeated notes saying "overall looks good" when our plants were dying. Returning from an extensive trip out of the country, we found more than a few dead plantings, which they subsequently said were from "overwatering". We could easily have had our sprinkler guy out to adjust the schedule if Blue Frog had let us know, rather than sending emails stating that all was well. In addition, they've repeatedly sprayed and dripped lawn treatment on the shell stone patio and step areas, leaving orange stains that are extremely visible and so far have resisted all attempts to clean/bleach them away. Today I found additional areas recently stained, in spite of asking them to be more careful. We are left with the option of replacing the stone or living with the stains. We are cancelling their services immediately and will look for someone else or do it ourselves. One month later: I called the same day the owner posted his response offering to come out to clean off the orange stains on our shell stone and spoke with the gal in the office who answers the phones. I told her that I would be delighted to have someone clean my tiles for me, and she promised to "put me on the schedule". I thanked her and hung up after verifying the service address. Nothing was heard from their office after my phone call; no text, no phone call and no message. After much trial and error, my husband and I have recently discovered an acid cleaner for tile that works extremely well and are delighted to have our beautiful patio and pool surround back to their former beauty. I am sorry to say that Blue Frog Lawn and Bugs did not follow up or clean up after the mess left by their worker. My review stands.
Provider response
Thank you for your kind words about the lawn looking good. We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the condition of the plants and are always very willing to return to your property at no charge anytime you have a concern to help fix things. We have been reporting that the property has been too wet for the last 60 days which is winter and is the time when over watering causes the most damage. The last time we observed the watering was good overall was in December last year. The notes from January were " Property is too wet. Defoliation at Bougainvillea and hibiscus. False agave showing signs have fungus from being too wet." February also stated Property too wet due to rain" and was also marked as too wet in the irrigation notes.<br>As much as we try to advise or customers on the condition of the property we are only there one time per month, and as a company policy we do not adjust irrigation just advise. We are very forthcoming with the fact we are not responsible for the irrigation and that either your mower or your irrigation company should do the adjustments.<br>We try very hard to avoid any dripping of fertilizer on any area, but this is the first we have heard of it. We have special chemicals that can help with this and are quick to respond when we are made aware. We are still willing to try this chemical to see what it can do. We are always willing to help in any way that our customers may need but we can not help if you don't contact us and let us know. Please contact our office and we will be happy to help.

I was promised a call to schedule a quote. Was in contact with Josh at the company but never received a call after attempting to get in touch multiple times.
Provider response
We are very sorry to hear this, we had no idea you were calling. Josh has not been with the company in over two months so if you were calling him he did not let us know. We always ask that you call our office so things like this do not happen. We keep track of all calls that come in and usually get back to people very quickly. As you can read in other reviews Crystal is very nice to talk to on the phone and is great with helping out by making sure you get whatever you need. Please give us a call at the office (941)-822-0425 and we will be sure to give you an estimate quickly.<br>Josh was able to get a job with Manatee County and we wish him well.
Emmie Annetta
Crystal is amazing! So sweet and easy to speak too. Listens, very professional. Pete can be a bit gruff. Blue Frog is fully certified for Pest and Fertilization Control which is the only type of company you want on your property. Please make sure you check. We just had new sod laid and I am confident with Blue Frog at the helm it will flourish.
Provider response
Thank you Emmie!
