What we do
When you call Call line opening soon, your call is routed to an independent pest control company that serves your area and is taking new jobs. That company talks with you directly, inspects the problem, gives you the quote and does the work. We don't send technicians, apply products, set prices, or take payment from you.
How we're paid
Plant City Exterminator is a free referral service. Calling is free for you; the pest control companies we connect you with may pay us for referrals. That is the whole business model, and it's why we tell you plainly that we are not an exterminator.
What we don't do
- We don't perform pest control or guarantee any company's work.
- We don't promise arrival times or prices; the company gives you those.
- We don't claim that every company in the network holds a particular license or certification — check it yourself using the steps below.
How to vet any pest control company in Florida
Florida requires pest control companies to hold a state business license, and license numbers begin with "JB". Each location must also employ a certified operator in the category of work it does — termite work and household-pest work are separate categories. Whether you found a company through us or anywhere else, ask for:
- The FDACS business license number (it starts with "JB") — and check it on the state's online lookup.
- The right certification category for the job: termite and other wood-destroying organisms work is a separate category from general household pest and rodent control.
- A written quote and service agreement that says what is treated, with what, how often, and what a retreatment or renewal costs.
- The technician's ID card and a service vehicle marked with the company name on both sides — FDACS requires both.
- No cash-only or "make the check out to me" payments, and no paying a full year up front to someone you can't verify.
Where our information comes from
Our guides — cockroaches, termites, bed bugs, rodents , spiders and wasps — link each fact to its source: UF/IFAS Extension, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida statutes and the U.S. Census Bureau. We don't publish reviews, ratings or credentials we can't verify.
