Why is Turner the best choice for my pest control needs?

Who is Turner Pest Control?

Why should I hire a professional pest control company?

While do-it-yourself pest control products can kill the pests you can see, they’re not effective at preventing re-infestations or reaching the pests you cannot see. Improperly handled, over-the-counter products can also be harmful to you, your family, and your pets. Managing specific or persistent pest problems require time and expertise, which few home- or business owners have.

When you hire a professional Florida pest control company such as Turner, you get much more than a quick solution to your pest problems — you get the services of experienced technicians who are trained in the safe application and handling of treatment products, who know how to identify the sources of difficult pest problems, and who have the skills and knowledge to prevent pests from coming back.

What should I look for in a pest control provider?

Cost-conscious homeowners know that price matters, but it’s not the most important factor when choosing any type of company. You may find a provider who charges very little, but who also delivers little in return. Instead, look for the right combination of value and quality.

To determine value when comparing pest control companies, make sure you thoroughly understand each company’s contract, including exactly what they will do, how they will do it, and any guarantees they say they offer. Ask if the company is properly insured, licensed and qualified, and whether it belongs to pest management trade associations on a local, state, or national basis. Also ask if their employees have passed background checks and what level of training their technicians have.

Look for a company that has been in business in your community for a long time (we’ve been providing pest control in Jacksonville for more than 50 years) and find out how satisfied customers are with the company’s service by asking for references and checking online reviews.

At Turner Pest Control, our technicians have up-to-the-minute training in the latest, safest, and most effective pest control methods, and our pricing is based on the size of your home or yard. We also offer flexible plans and a range of affordable recurring services for the right balance of quality and value.

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

Our residential Florida pest control services are priced according to the specific services you need to take care of your unique pest problems and according to the size of your home and/or yard. In order to give you an accurate price quote, our technician will come to your home to perform a free, no-obligation inspection. He or she will then recommend a plan that will take care of any immediate issues and prevent future infestations, answer all of your questions, and give you a price quote that meets your needs.

Is your pest control service safe for my family and pets?

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?

The health issues range from minor bites to life-threatening viruses:

• The debris roaches leave behind can cause asthma attacks and they can spread Salmonella and bacterial diseases that cause diarrhea.
• Rodents are known to transmit more than 35 diseases, including food-borne illnesses, Hantavirus, and plague.
• Fire ants can cause dangerous reactions in people who are allergic to them.
• Mosquitoes can transmit a number of serious disease-causing viruses, including Zika and West Nile, as well as malaria and some types of encephalitis.

The integrity of your home’s structure can also be threatened by pests:

• Termites cause billions of dollars’ worth of damage in the U.S. In our area, Formosan termites are a particular threat due to the sheer size of their populations.
• Rodents are notorious for chewing — not only can they damage wood and other materials in your home, they can also chew through the insulation on cables and electrical wiring, which can lead to a fire.

What are the most common household pests in our area?

Our warm, temperate climate make Florida the perfect home for many types of pests. The ones we see most often in our customers’ homes and businesses are ants, spiders, termites, fleas, ticks, roaches, earwigs, silverfish, and millipedes. If you need pest control in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa or surrounding Florida cities, contact Turner Pest Control — we understand the pest problems unique to Florida and we’ll provide the best pest control solutions for you and your family.

How quickly can Turner come to my home?

We can usually schedule your appointment within 24 hours of when you contact us if you have an urgent need. Otherwise, we can make an appointment with you at a time convenient for your schedule. We have pest control offices throughout Florida, including in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and other surrounding cities.

Will I feel secure with Turner’s technicians in my home?

Absolutely. Each of our technicians has passed a stringent background test and Turner is a drug-free workplace. In addition, Turner is QualityPro certified, a designation that is awarded to only a few pest control providers nationwide and that means you are receiving services from a provider whose excellence is proven.

Do I need to be home when you come out for service or leave afterward?

You do not need to be home unless we are treating your home’s interior. You may stay while we provide service unless we are applying flea treatment products. For lawn service, we ask that you keep children and pets off the lawn until it’s thoroughly dried.

Why should I have recurring service if I don’t see pests in my house?

One of the most important parts of keeping your home or business free of pests is taking preventive measures. During your regularly scheduled service appointments, our technicians check for early signs of infestations and immediately address any problems they find. Because the populations of so many types of Florida’s pests can quickly get out of control, it’s critical to have regular inspections.

Can I get just a one-time treatment?

You can have a one-time treatment to take care of pests you can see, but it won’t have any effect on pest populations that may be hidden and taking a foothold in your home. In addition, solving a serious pest control problem may be costly.

What are the signs of pest infestation?

Seeing insects is just one sign that a problem may exist. Less obvious signs include their waste, body parts, and damage to paper goods such as boxes. When our technicians inspect your property during regularly scheduled service calls, they look for additional signs that pests are active and will recommend a plan to take care of your specific problem.
