How Tampa Pest Control works
Tampa Pest Control exists to get a Tampa caller to the right technician quickly. Most of the calls we hear come from a few places: a roof rat in the attic, a roach trail at night, a termite swarm in spring.
The line takes the call at any hour and passes the job on with the trail and the address already described, so the first visit starts with the facts.
FDACS licenses the pest control company, not this phone line
Tampa Pest Control answers the phone and passes the job to the nearest independent, licensed local pest control company covering your part of Tampa. That company treats the property. It is the one that must hold a pest control licence under Chapter 482, Florida Statutes and Rule 5E-14, Florida Administrative Code, keep its own insurance in force, and answer to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for what it applies and what it writes down.
Two details are worth asking about. A Florida pest control business works through a certified operator, and the categories that operator holds set what the firm may legally treat, so a company certified for general household pest and rodent work is not thereby certified for termites or fumigation. Ask which category covers the job you are booking. If the visit is a wood-destroying organism inspection for a sale or refinance, ask for the state WDO inspection report in writing.
The licence number is yours for the asking, any time: by phone on (855) 974-4733, or when the company calls you to agree a time. It is not printed on this site, because it is that company's private business detail and not ours to publish. Once you have it, verify it with FDACS before anyone opens a product.
