Let Venice Pest Control help prevent unwanted pests in and around your property. Our trained professionals will perform a thorough inspection of your property both inside and out.
Ant infestations can range from being a minor annoyance to being quite invasive inside and around a structure. The species of ant determines the risks presented when populations grow to infestation levels. Anyone who suspects that they are dealing with an annoying ant species of any kind should call Venice Pest Control for assistance.
Living with cockroaches exposes occupants of a home to dangerous diseases. Infestations can cause serious health problems, and people who have asthma or allergies suffer when cockroaches are present. Cockroach infestations can even cause asthma to develop in young children.

I still have ants after a visit from this company, the people that come to the door are rude, and have no respect for the customer. Doug is a real bad person when it comes to respect for the customer. He acted so bad, I thought he hated me for calling his company.

Hired this company. Paid for the year, they came out once (when I gave them a check). Never again. I called them about 8 weeks after the initial starting date as we now had a bad problem with ants. They wouldnt show up. They told us multiple times they would show up and did not. Terrible company. I ended up doing the job myself.

We signed a year contract with them and had trouble getting the service we needed. When I called the office I was told my service guy contacted me and would not believe me when I said he never called! She said he will call you later today and that call never came. It's been 2 weeks and I still can't get any action.

I have used Venice Pest Control since I moved to Florida in 2006. Since the beginning their service has been consistently excellent. Our service worker, Doug, has been with us since the beginning and serves many, many residents in the Venetian Golf and River Club. Doug does a great job. Always on time; always asking you if there are any problem and always giving you a report when he completes the service Doug is very personable and his sense of humor just adds to the visit. What I really appreciate is having the same service rep since I started with the company. Doug knows this house, knows of

Doug (Bugless Douglas) is a great all around person that truly cares about his customers. He always goes the extra step to make sure that his service is dione correct and professional.

Doug always does a thorough inspection inside and out. He fixed our rodent problems— Armadillo and rat infestation around our pool equipment. Doug gave us good information about proper storage of dry goods in our pantry so we don’t end up with bugs. 🐜. Doug is a good guy too! We would recommend his business in an instant.

We’ve been a customer for nearly 20 years and have always appreciated the service we get from this company. There have been many times that the technician has gone above and beyond his quarterly duties to address what could be an incoming infestation due to seasonal complexities. Our current technician Crosby has even gone so far as to help us catch a rat that happened to get into our area above garage. We only see him 4 times a year as scheduled but if we need him sooner he’s only a phone call away. Professional, polite, knowledgeable and a kind hearted individual are just some of the words

We had Venice Pest Control (VPC)in November 2018 for a problem with fire ants. A gentleman arrived promptly, gave us a price and scheduled the appointment. On the day of the treatment I referred my neighbor who also bought the treatment plan and I asked if there was any discount for the referral. I was told "nope." When you sign the authorization to treat, you're asked to initial a section that schedules you for "auto-renewal" but I was not told that was for auto-renewal. I do not like "auto-renew" so I called on 4/`12/19, spoke to Dawn, and stated that I

I will absolutely never use them. The woman that answered the phone thought I had dialed the wrong number and was incredibly rude. The owner should know that her attitude an ill manners have cost him my business and who knows how many others. Completely unprofessional!

We paid over four hundred dollars for rat baiting stations. When we discontinued service Venice Pest Control removed those stations without our permission and with no refund.

These guys aren't the ones wearing the white hats in this business: I hired these folks because my tenant came home with a newborn baby and had roaches; I paid a PREMIUM, WAY MORE THAN COMPETITORS for them to get rid of the roaches, promising I would not have another problem --but the roaches outsmarted them, making my tenant understandably very upset when she found roaches on her baby. The biggest problem is that when I called for a retreatment I got a runaround the likes I have seldom seen before. And again, A NEWBORN BABY --just down the street from them. I am finding another pest control

I scheduled an appointment with someone in this company. Everything was fine. I got a call the next day from someone else in the company letting me know the person who made the appointment was fired. They had no documentation of my appointment. Also, they tried to tell me the price I was quoted was insufficient. I worked with them and set up the appointment for the same time I had originally set it up for. They never showed up. When I called to find out why they told me the appointment was for next week. This is a unreliable operation. I would not use them.

Red Ants...Black Ants...nasty little creatures!
I contacted VPC and they came out right away! They were absolutely great to work with and they taught me so much about these darn ants (I'm new to FL). Ever since they left, I haven't seen one ant - very happy indeed!
Plus I am super health-conscious and have 2 dogs so it was very important that the treatments not be toxic. We never had to leave the house & the dogs and I are doing great :)
Can't say that for the Ants!
Thanks VPC (Dennis & Caleb)

We were going with a different exterminator that just wasn't really getting the job done. When we switched to VPC we noticed a difference immediately. Plus the staff is professional and friendly.
