Tequesta pest control FAQ

Do you service HOA communities?

Yes, with common-area service and written reports for the board.

We discovered a beehive in our backyard. We were referred to this company we called. They responded and came out immediately and remediated the issue. Would recommend them to anyone they are reasonable. They are attentive to their customers and responsive and also reasonable with price.

I had a great experience with Q&L! I was having issues with spiders at my home, I called Q&L and they were there the next day. They’re very knowledgeable and did a very thorough inspection of the house to make sure they were getting to the root of the problem. I will continue to use them and would recommend them to anyone!

John was super professional and on-time, which is hard to come by for pest management services. We were worried our house was going to fall over based on a previous inspection, but after speaking with John during his initial consultation he assured us he could handle the task at hand. He was incredibly professional and focused on the entomology instead of being overly sales-pitchy. Highly recommend!

I have used Q and L for over a year now. They provide quality service with little to no hassle. They show up on time and have made a few “emergency” trips day of it next day when we have had issues beyond our normal monthly maintenance service. I cannot recommend them enough.
