BugWater Pest Control Inc.
BugWater Pest Control, Inc. is a local, family owned and operated pest control company at 3833 Charter Rd in Lakeland, Florida. The Lakeland office is the company's flagship location, and the company offers pest control and termite services in Lakeland and all across central Florida, from the Sun Coast around Tampa Bay to the Space Coast at Cocoa Beach and everything in between. Certified Operator Jon Almon, license number JF213032, has been in the pest control industry since 2001, starting out with one of the largest companies in the industry and growing within it for more than a decade. Frustrated with corporate protocol, he decided in late 2013 to start his own business, passed the state exam for General Household Pest and Rodent Control while scoring in the top 5 of his class, and opened BugWater Pest Control Inc. with his wife Wrena in early 2014. In the summer of 2015 he sat the Termite and WDO category exam and passed with the highest score out of 55 people. The work spans general residential and commercial pest control, exterior only perimeter programs, lawn spraying for fleas, ticks, fire ants and other lawn pests, termite prevention and pre construction termite treatments, WDO inspections for real estate transactions, termite monitoring stations, bed bug heat treatment, mosquito control, and rodent baiting and trapping. A standard pest service covers removing wasp nests and spider webs within reach, inspecting the exterior perimeter and the interior, identifying the pest where that is needed, treating the structure inside and out, and giving the customer recommendations to prevent further pest invasions. All the products the company uses are low odor and environmentally friendly, applied in a safe and conscientious manner with children and pets in mind, and the company says it would not use a product in your home that had not been used in its own home first. BugWater combines Integrated Pest Management with the products it rates as the best on the market and the expertise of its State Certified Operator. Estimates are preferred in person and on location for accuracy, though after a few short questions the company will provide the best quote it can by phone or email. Honesty, dependability and loyalty are the values the owners say they carry through the business every day.

A residential or commercial service covers removal of wasp nests and spider webs within reach, inspection of the exterior perimeter and the interior of the structure, identification of the pest where that is needed, treatment of the interior and exterior, and recommendations you can follow to prevent further pest invasions. There is also an exterior only option using a high volume liquid treatment around the perimeter on a monthly or bi-monthly schedule.
What does the termite warranty cover?
Termite prevention treatments carry a 4 year renewable warranty along with a repair and retreat guarantee. Pre construction treatments, meaning foundation pre-treat and stud wall application, carry a 5 year renewable warranty instead.
Do I have to throw out my mattress if I have bed bugs?
No. BugWater treats bed bugs with heat rather than chemicals, which it rates as the most effective bed bug treatment, and the point of that method is that you keep your mattresses and furniture. Results are guaranteed.
Does the lawn service include fertilizer or weed control?
No. Lawn spraying is monthly and bi-monthly treatment for fleas and ticks, fire ants, earwigs, beetles, mole crickets, millipedes, and grasshoppers. The company states plainly that it does not offer fertilizer or weed control.
