Hello, I just would like to take the opportunity and recognize Andy my new service technician from Pest Bear. I find Andy to be very knowledgeable at his job. From the very beginning he's giving me the confidence that he was going to get my lawn under control. And he has surpassed above and beyond my expectations. His professionalism and courtesy and love of what he does I find very admirable. Because of Andy I recommended Pest Bear to two of my neighbors and they both signed on as new customers. Andy continue to bless the customers you serve and you will be rewarded very hamsomly. Pest Bear you have a very good man working for you.

Provider response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Anthony! We're delighted to hear that Andy made such a positive impression, and we appreciate your recommendations to your neighbors.<br><br>Thank you from the PestBear Team.

They kept charging my credit card after services were cancelled and now refused to credit the amount. I was charge $125 for airation service which I had cancelled. Company rep claims he pass the cancellation request to the office but they ignored. He offered a credit on account if I restart the service later on.... buyer beware

Provider response

We will be reaching out today to rectify.

I do not recommend PestBear. I was specifically looking for a local company that truly understands Florida lawn care and pest control challenges. We hired them for lawn care and pest control services, but after starting service, we discovered worms in the grass while planting. We contacted the company and explained the issue, but the problem was never properly resolved. We also continued experiencing spiders and other bugs around the property even after treatment. My husband called multiple times because the service was not meeting our needs, but no effective long-term solution was provided. When I called to cancel, I was transferred to a director because cancellations apparently require director approval. During that conversation, I was offered additional free services and was told that a manager would come to my house to perform a comprehensive review of our lawn and pest control needs. However, it has now been a week, and no manager has shown up or followed up. I called again today, and the customer service representative informed me that they still need the directors approval. She attempted to contact them while I was on the phone, but no one answered as a called closed to 5pm. I was told I should expect another callback tomorrow. The employees themselves are very nice and polite, but the company does not appear to provide a thorough evaluation of customer needs, and the cancellation process has been unnecessarily difficult and time-consuming.

After a year of substandard service, German cockroaches have reappeared. This is the only company that does not cover pest control services inside your home. They are charging me an extra fee of $240 but I pay for a separate quarterly service for pest control. This is a scam. They want 240 every time German roaches appear inside the home.

Provider response

Thank you for your feedback. We’d like to clarify that interior pest control service is included as part of your plan when needed.<br><br>German cockroaches are considered a common household pest; however, unlike general pests, they are typically driven by indoor conditions and require more detailed, targeted treatment to fully eliminate. These infestations often develop due to factors within the home environment, which is why they can persist or reappear without ongoing, specialized attention.<br><br>While we do provide interior service, treatments for German roaches involve a more intensive process, including multiple visits, specialized products, and close follow-up to ensure proper control. The additional cost reflects the level of service required to effectively resolve the issue—not a standard recurring charge.<br><br>We’re more than happy to review your situation and work with you toward a solution. Please contact our office so we can address your concerns directly. <br>Thank You

My local PestBear in Casselberry couldn't help me but Justin Cooper took the time though to explain my plan. The plan offered was not right plus charged for my free month. I called Pestbear Corporate office. Now do you want to speak with the man in charge or the Woman who knows what's going on? Oh yes I got Tabitha She fixed my plan and made me Happy. I got a slight refund for the mistake as well. Tabitha you Rock. Nobody would listen to my plight. (Management in Casselberry). PestBear does a Great Job! Omar especially. Please make your staff like Tabitha! If I call for service.. I should not be charged. Update training manuals please. Again Ty Tabitha for listening and fixing this horrible issue. Justin ty for your help.

What a dream of a pest-control company! They responded immediately to my inquiry about possible termites and showed up the very next morning to asses, providing expertise and reassurance along the way. Price was great too!

Thank you, Carolyn! We’re proud to have earned your trust.

DO NOT USE PEST BEAR. This company will call you endlessly and harass you if you cancel service. Since canceling a month ago, they have called me multiple times each week and even multiple times in a single day. They do not care if you tell them to put you on a "do not call" list - which I told them to do the day I canceled and have reiterated this every call since. If you block the number they call you from a different number. They make it very clear that they are purposely calling you over and over as a punishment for canceling.

Provider response

We’re sorry to hear that your experience has been frustrating, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few points.<br><br>Our company does not have the ability to call from multiple or changing phone numbers, nor do we contact customers with the intent to harass. Any outreach made was intended solely to communicate regarding your account and to ensure there were no unresolved service or billing matters.<br><br>We have been treating your home since 2006, and our goal has always been to protect your property and provide long-term value. In an effort to assist you and maintain your termite coverage on one of your most valuable assets, we attempted to offer a price reduction of approximately one-third while keeping your termite warranty active.<br><br>We sincerely apologize that our attempts to reach out were received as frustrating. That was never our intention. Your feedback has been noted, and we respect your decision to discontinue service.<br><br>If you would like to discuss this further or need confirmation that your account has been fully closed, please feel free to contact our office directly.

Malcolm was our technician from Pestbear. he was very professional. He made sure I had a number to reach him if my lawn did not improve. He remembered the condition of it from a previous visit. Malcolm is very friendly and did a thorough job despite it being the hottest day ever! Thank you Malcolm !
