I can’t say enough good things about Ranger Pest Control. We’ve been using them for 3 - 4 years now, and they’ve been nothing but reliable, friendly, and professional every single time. The techs are always respectful of our home, explain what they’re doing, and genuinely care about making sure the problem is taken…
We have had Ranger Pest Control for a couple years now and they do a good job. Patrick is always on time and very knowledgable about a wide variety of pests and different application techniques. Recently Evan applied some Tandem to our yard (and a tree) to address an ant problem and it worked well. He even stopped by a few days later to check if it worked or if additional treatment was necessary.
Response from the owner · 4 months ago
Brian, thank you so much for giving Patrick and Evan this really nice review. Evan joined his father and Grandfather about 6 months ago. Ranger now has three generations working together. I think Evan has surprised everyone with how hard he is working and how he really does care about everything. First one in every morning, prepares for his day and off he goes. It's great! Thank you!

Ranger Termite is one of those rare local companies that still gets what real commerce should be: honest, transparent, and confident enough in their work that they don’t need to scare you into buying.
Drywood termites are common in Florida, and tenting is the usual one-and-done solution. I wanted something more preventative, so I interviewed eight companies — five that push tenting and three that don’t. Seven tried hard to close the deal. Ranger was the only one that didn’t.
Three generations of the same family run the business. The BPE (first initials of each generation) called ahead, showed up early, and worked hard. They were thorough — walking every room and inspecting like they were investigating a crime scene. They treated the crawlspace and attic of my 105-year-old bungalow and even moved my appliances so I could clean behind them.
I hired them for the drywood termites and added their yearly pest prevention package the same day. It’s a one-time treatment with follow-up visits included. Everything cost less than tenting, and the results have been excellent so far.

A very thorough, professional, friendly, reasonably priced pest control service! They are local and reliable. I highly recommend them!
UPDATE 6/2/26: I’m incredibly disappointed and frustrated with their service lately. The times needing to wait to get your place treated are getting longer and longer, and if something happens on their end (ie a technician running out of gas and being unable to treat your house within the hour window you have available), they don’t really care much about getting you back in the schedule in a timely fashion. My window of availability may only be an hour, but it’s not during a high demand time, yet I’ve been waiting over a month now, and it seems I’ll need to keep waiting. Customer services has really gone down, to the point where I’m actively getting quotes from other companies. Is a shame, but apparently having their service for nearly 7 years doesn’t matter much to them.

10/10 I highly recommend! Lori was informative on all of my questions and did not leave out any details on my termite treatment. Patrick was very professional during the visit. I will definitely be using them in the future for all of my pest control needs.

The techs are always respectful of our home, explain what they’re doing, and genuinely care about making sure the problem is taken care of. They come once a year which is just enough to ensure a bug free home.
It’s such a relief knowing we have a pest control company we can actually trust. I recommend them to everyone I know. They’ve definitely earned a loyal customer here.
