Why should I hire a professional pest control company?

Although over-the-counter pest control products certainly exist—and while DIY options can kill visible pests—there are problems with them, such as the following:

• DIY products typically don’t kill the pests you can’t see, and many species are good at hiding. In fact, more may be hiding than are visible. 
• They aren’t effective at preventative pest management, which means infestations often re-occur.
• Managing persistent problems requires time and expertise that the average person doesn’t have.
• Improperly applied products can harm you, your family, and your pests.

Now, contrast that with a professional pest control company such as Turner. You now get:

• an efficient solution to your pest problems
• the services of experienced technicians who:
  • know how to identify the sources of difficult pest problems
  • are trained in the safe application and handling of treatment products
  • have the skills and knowledge to prevent pests from coming back

What should I look for in a pest control provider?

First, here’s the short answer: look for a licensed, insured, and bonded company that offers quality pest control services and can provide them when you need them at a price that fits your budget, and has a proven track record of success. 

Turner Pest Control fits the bill, being licensed, insured, and bonded with:

• Professional, trained technicians with up-to-the-minute training in the latest, safest, and most effective pest control methods who have passed stringent background checks 
• Dependable, timely services
• Pricing that’s based on the size of your home and yard so you never have to pay more than you should, with flexible plans and a range of affordable recurring services for the right balance of quality and value
• Serving the pest control needs of Jacksonville homeowners for more than 50 years

When looking for a company that provides the right combination of value and quality and comparing results among pest control companies, review each one’s contracts. Make sure you’re clear about what services will be provided and how. 

To ensure that you receive services from a top company, choose one that’s been in business in your community for a long time; find out what pest management trade associations they belong to (locally, statewide, and nationally); and ask for references and check their online reviews.

Why do I need a home inspection before I get a price quote?

We offer free, no-obligation inspections so that we can provide you with customized quotes for residential pest control services that take into account your specific pest control problems and the size of your home and/or yard. This actually ensures that you don’t pay for more than you need (which could be the case if we just offered a menu of services). Our technician will then recommend a plan that will take care of your current issues and also prevent future infestations while answering all of your questions. 

Are your pest control services safe for my family and pets?

Short answer: yes!

All of our pest control products are environmentally friendly. We also offer organic pest control product options, if that is what you would prefer to use. Additionally, our technicians receive ongoing training to ensure we are providing your service in the safest and most up to date manner. Each service is individually tailored to your specific needs.

What dangers do insects, rodents, and other pests pose to my family?

Pests can, overall, cause two different types of problems, each of them ranging from fairly minor ones to more serious challenges: health issues and damage to the home. 

When looking at health issues, they can range from annoying bites to viruses, food-borne illnesses, and more that can be dangerous, even life threatening. Here are examples:

• Roaches leave behind debris that can trigger allergies and asthma attacks, and can also spread salmonella and bacterial diseases. 
• Rodents (rats and mice) spread more than 35 diseases, either directly or indirectly. These include hantavirus and the plague. 
• Fire ants can cause dangerous reactions in people who are stung multiple times and/or who are allergic to the stings.
• Mosquitoes can transmit the Zika and West Nile viruses, along with other serious diseases such as malaria and some types of encephalitis.

Pests can also threaten your home’s integrity. Here are two examples:

• Termites cause billions of dollars’ worth of damage annually in our country. In our region, Formosan termite populations are huge, making them a significant threat.  
• Rodents chew through material in homes, from wood to wires; if they gnaw through insulation on cables and wires, this can trigger a house fire.

What are the most common household pests throughout Florida?

Florida’s climate is ideal for multiple kinds of pests. Ones we often see in homes and businesses include ants, spiders, termites, fleas, ticks, roaches, earwigs, silverfish, and millipedes. Whether you need pest control in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa or another city that Turner serves, we know how to handle the most common pests in your area.

What are the most common household pests throughout Florida?

Contact us when you have a pest control problem and we’ll make an appointment that’s convenient for your schedule. If the need is urgent, please let us know.

We have pest control offices in Jacksonville and throughout Florida. Turner provides pest control services to communities in Orlando, Tampa and other surrounding cities. Visit our Locations page to find the pest control office nearest you.

Will I feel secure with a technician in my home?

Absolutely! Turner has a drug-free workplace and each technician has passed a stringent background check. Our QualityPro certification—awarded to fewer than 3% pest control companies, nationwide—reassures you that we operate with proven excellence.

Will I feel secure with a technician in my home?

You don’t need to be home unless we’re providing interior services. You have the option of staying home, though, while we apply treatments unless it’s a flea product. With our lawn services, please keep children and pets off the lawn until it’s thoroughly dried.

Why should I have recurring pest control service if I don't see pests in my home?

In Jacksonville, and throughout Florida, pest infestations can easily get out of control, and preventative measures are key to keeping your home or business pest-free. During your regularly scheduled service appointments, we’ll check for early infestation signs and immediately address any issues. 

Can I get one-time treatments?

We do offer one-time treatments where we handle visible pests but this won’t address the pest populations that are out of sight—and may be busily becoming entrenched in your Florida home. So, although one-time treatments are possible, they are often more costly than if you have ongoing services to suppress pest populations.

What are some of the signs of a pest infestation?

Sometimes, you can see the pests. Other times, they hide well and, in those cases, you’re more likely to see their feces and shed body parts—and/or the damage they’re causing to your home. Different critters demonstrate their presence in different ways, and our trained technicians will find and identify them during a home inspection and recommend a customized plan to address the problems. 

What kind of pest control services do you offer?

We offer a wide range of general pest control services in Jacksonville and throughout Florida that effectively control all of the common pests in your area. These pests include fleas, ticks, roaches, ants, spiders, termites, bed bugs, rodents, mosquitoes and more. We also offer outdoor services, with our lawn pest control services allowing you to have the healthy green lawn you’ve always wanted. We offer free pest inspections and you can make an appointment online or call us at 800-225-5305.

To benefit from complete coverage with a low initial price, consider SMART TurnerGuard, a plan that provides more coverage than any other in the industry. You start at an affordable fixed price, then pay a low monthly fee, with your home’s square footage used to calculate that payment. There are no hidden costs or exclusions and you won’t have to pay for another termite treatment again.

Is there such a thing as organic pest control?

Absolutely! Turner Pest Control offers organic pest control for customers in Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and elsewhere across the state of Florida.

When choosing what pest control services you want, know that organic does not automatically mean safer pest control. It’s often the case, though, that these products are safer for the environment, people, and pets: in the short term, after applications, and in the long term because of the lack of chemical residues. To be clear, organic pest control (green pest control) doesn’t necessarily mean that the methodologies used are chemical-free but that any chemicals inherent in treatments are naturally occurring ones. 

With Turner, you can proceed with confidence. We only use safe green pest control products. Pests are attracted to our organic pest control, making the products effective, and critters are less likely to build up resistance to green products. 

When you prefer for us to use green pest control, just let us know. We will provide treatments at no extra charges beyond traditional methods.

Does eco-friendly pest control work?

Yes: when performed by professionals with the appropriate products and techniques, eco-friendly pest control can work quite well — sometimes even better in the long run. That’s because pests often become resistant to methods using synthetic chemicals, which doesn’t typically happen with eco-friendly pest control. Moreover, eco-friendly methods can often get to the root of the problem, keeping pests from returning.

Benefits of Turner’s eco-friendly pest control include:

• Safer for the environment, people, and pets.
• Improved indoor and outdoor plant health.
• Long-term results with fewer recurring problems.
• Often part of an integrated pest management (IPM) approach for lasting solutions.

When you choose an environmentally friendly pest control approach, you’ll benefit from safer methods that are quite effective. 

With Turner Pest Control, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from using green pest control products that are as effective as they are safe.
