Paul's Termite & Pest Control
Paul's Termite & Pest Control is a family-owned, locally owned pest control company that has protected North Florida homes and businesses since 1971, when founder Paul Nicholson opened the company. Working from its Mahan Drive office in Tallahassee, the team treats the full range of regional pests: ants, roaches and spiders, termites, mosquitoes, bed bugs, rodents, nuisance wildlife and stinging insects such as wasps and hornets. Termite work is handled with the Sentricon Colony Elimination System rather than tent fumigation, using in-ground bait stations whose bait foraging termites carry back to the colony, with year-round monitoring afterward. A year-round lawn care program covers weeds, disease and insect damage, and every service is also offered to commercial properties. Getting started takes four steps: request a free quote by phone or online form, receive a custom inspection from a local technician who identifies the pest and its entry points, have the property treated on your schedule, then stay protected under the company guarantee. Treatments are described as environmentally responsible and designed so families and pets can stay home during service, and exterior visits do not require anyone to be present. If pests return between scheduled treatments, Paul's comes back and re-treats at no extra charge. The company is a licensed Florida pest control company and a member of the National Pest Management Association, and it has won Best of Tallahassee for pest control in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2024.

FAQs
How long has Paul's Termite & Pest Control been in business?
Paul's opened in 1971 under founder Paul Nicholson and has protected North Florida homes and businesses ever since.
What happens if pests come back after treatment?
If pests return between scheduled treatments, Paul's comes back and re-treats at no extra charge.
How does Paul's get rid of termites?
Paul's uses the Sentricon Colony Elimination System instead of tent fumigation. In-ground bait stations are installed around the home, foraging termites carry the bait back to the colony, and the stations are monitored year-round to catch new activity.
Are the treatments safe for kids and pets?
Paul's uses environmentally responsible products and the Sentricon system for termites, both chosen so your family and pets can stay home during and after treatment. Technicians also explain anything specific to do afterward, such as keeping pets off a freshly treated area until it dries.
Do I need to be home for the service?
No. Exterior treatments do not require you to be present. Access to the inside of the home is only needed for interior treatments or a termite inspection, which are scheduled in advance.
