We have a commercial account with Hughes Exterminators and they are absolutely fanastic on resolving the issues at hand for our offices. Steven is by far the best and always has a plan on stopping those little black friendly ants from coming in the building. Thank you for providing excellent service and keeping us happy! read more

Customer service to a tee. Routine, extraordinary and courtesy pest prevention and control services have worked for us. The office staff is lovely and a manager will work with you at the drop of a hat. Our bug Ian is amazing as well. *Port Charlotte area* read more

After they do the service on your house they send yiu an invoice in the mail. Every once in a while when you receive the invoice it is higher than the last service. They raise the price on the invoice after the service is done without notifying the customer in advance of the price increase. Plus, whatever chemicals they are using haven't been effective lately. Poor value and a poor way to run a business. Reporting to BBB and FTC for deceptive practice. read more

Had a critter in the attic on Friday. On line they had the most experience but don't work on weekends‐ it's not 1965 critters don't take weekends off. Got first appointment for Monday but a two hour window, for a first appointment?? How doe that work?? Called Monday morn to confirm, got conformation. Waited for the guy, RJ, JR or some kind of J but no show/no call! The wife and I waited in front of the house in the shade in case he missed the house. I really gotta get rid of the critter who knows what damage it will/could do. Waited 5 hours. I called the next day look for an explanation. Female answering the phone was nice but had to answers. So the employee could have tied one on the night before and overslept 5 hours no one would be the wiser? It seems to be a pattern here. Widow Co, lawn Co. Exterminator.... On the face of it, they don't owe you as a consumer anything. Dont the companies want loyalty? It seems if they show they show if don't, "O effin well". I understand things happen but communicate with the person your doing business with (the consumer). I canceled an MRI for this company. It's really off putting. Addendum I received an answer to my yelp review within 3-4 hours of my posting. Asking g to speak to me or leave my number on their site. I said wow maybe they do care. Let me give 'em a second chance. But first let me see how he made good to other complaints. My answer was a cut and paste answer as well as others he answered. If you care about your business you and the complaints personally not a cut and paste job so it looks like you're doing something on the yelp complaint. Sorry Dave you don't care about loyalty to your shop. read more

I really hate that I have to leave such a bad review because I love supporting local businesses, however, I'd hate for someone else to go through what I had to go through with this company without a warning. I'm not sure if the just have really poor quality product or if it was poor execution but I paid for post control & didnt see ANY results . I called to complain but got the basic run around & told a manager would call me back which never happened. I also have a termite contract with this same company for 8 years so when that service man came he encouraged me to call back which was a few weeks to a month later. So this time I did get a call back from some sort of manager & he was just the nastiest person I've ever had to deal with in a professional manner. I cannot believe they have this guy in this position. The bottom line is you will not get what you pay for & if you have anything to say about that you will get abused over the phone completely unwarranted. I was very pleasant in my tone with him as I am in the service industry. This masagonistic & pompous condescending man shouldn't be in this position of ever talking to the public! I cannot say if the termite part of the business is good or not because I have a block home & inherited the contract when I purchased the home 8 years ago so my chances of that problem are pretty low however whatever they use for pest control didnt work at all unless they just didnt even do it. I'll never know because I wasnt home when the guy came & I got nowhere when I called to complain. So i recommend researching another company & absolutely do not use this one ! read more

I am writing this review , not for a generic apology but so other people don't get taken advantage of from Hughes Exterminators... Three years ago we bought a house that during inspection it was found that we had a rat infestation in our attic. We had another company at that time take care of the problem, which they did and all was good. Fast forward three years and we start seeing rats climbing the outside of the house and going on the roof. Since we had Hughes treating our yard for fleas and ant we call them. They come out look in the attic on both ends of the house and tell us we have rat droppings and tunneling in our insulation, he even went as far to show me a picture of one turd that was supposedly up on the insulation and never went on the roof to see if they were getting in through vents, which they were going to charge us for sealing 6 of them. After sitting down and talking to the Hughes tech it was going to cost us $1400.00 to take care of the rat problem. We signed work order and they were gonna start in a week. After my husband and I talked about it we decided to have someone else look at the attic, we actually had two other professionals come out separately and look. Both said nothing was in the attic. No droppings and No tunneling, and our 6 vents already had screens in them. We called our Hughes tech and canceled the work order, the tech never asked why, did we have an issue, was it the cost nothing. Just said OK and that was it. As far as the picture he showed me, lord only knows who's attic that was from. We felt like we where really taken advantage of and lied to for sure. Do your homework people!!! Cant trust anyone these days. read more

I recently purchased my home. The previous owner used Hughes Exterminator, so I called them for an estimate in treating my home. Hughes Exterminator sent two techincians to my home. One for termite treatment (don't have them) just wanted a quote. In addition, I requested a quote for indoor service as well. The terminate estimation was given, and then the inside techincian said it would be $100 to treat. Upon leaving, he said if there was any problem or wanted to call to initiate service to please call. I did not call. After speaking to the previous owner, he said he had a lifetime warranty on their service for termites. So I decided to give one homeowner a lifetime warranty and then tell the new owner to start from the beginning was disingenuous at best. My reason for not calling back. A month later, I was out running errands. Up until that, the times the salesperson would call consistently, trying to earn my business. After saying no to the first call, I chose not to answer the sales pitch that would continue. So a month later, after not answering any more sales calls, the salesperson came to my home announced and told my partner he had my permission to treat. He did not. When I heard about it upon returning home, I was livid. I told my spouse never to let those people in our home again. Then it started. A bill for $100 for the treatment they did not have permission to do in the first place as they entered my home fraduately without a contract or my verbal confirmation. Therefore, I DO NOT OWE THIS COMPANY $100. Then, it continues further. Day after day, call after call harassing me for an attempted ill gotten $100. How many of their customers have this happened to? Regardless, I chose not to engage this business any further. Today, I received a letter from a debt collection agency, for you guessed it was $100.00. I called the agency. They documented what I had to say and then said I needed to send a written to dispute. So now, two birds with one stone. A letter for the collection agency and a Yelp review. As they say, the dispute is the mail. read more

Having 10 years of experience dealing with Hughes, I had one negative experience with them. After some negotiations and discussions on the matter we have come to a satisfactory resolution of that negative experience. Therefore I retract my earlier negative review and thank them for their change of position! read more

3-4 years ago 78.00 per visit. Last year 80.00. Just got my new bill. 83.00. Im now shopping for a better deal. I did love Hughes. Now not so much now. A year or so ago one of the technicians told me that they only do the inside every other time. I mentioned this to the technician wondering if this trip was both outside and inside. This technician looked at me confused. He said every visit includes both inside and outside??? What?? read more

I moved to the area six months ago. I shopped for an exterminator and had a total of 5 different companies out. I received varied info and quotes. After meeting with the Hughes rep. I selected them to give them a try. Fist of all their price was very competitive. I have had excellent service and on the few occasions I had an issue they were very responsive and customer friendly . read more

A rat infestation in different parts of the house required Hughes to set traps, seal off entry points and check in frequently until the rats were gone. They did an excellent job without interfering with occupancy by the owner. read more

Had them for almost 5 years loved our 1st tech Dave was not so happy with 2nd tech but stuck with them now 3 rd tech and the virus the price went to $80 only did half the job made a big deal about suiting up to do inside only if I had seen something? The reason I hadn't seen anything was properly maintained extermination process. So when you only do the outside anything inside garage comes in since they didn't do the inside of an open garage Call office for discount since I didn't get full service, was told no again big deal about suiting up but would come back I said no thanks I am canceling, get ready the threat of a reactivation fee if I decide to come back Poor business practice I never paid to hire them in the first place you raise my price, do half the job then give me bull. Good by when you lost Dave you lost honesty and customer prospective read more

Have been using Hughes for many years..My tech is Dan, I'm very happy with him he does an excellent job. No call backs. Also an awesome person to deal with..Hughes has worked with me so far, when they decide to change my tech, they don't let me know in advance. The new tech calls to set up a time..I decline his service and call the office ASAP.. I don't want a new tech..I do not want new tech in my home..They worked with me.. read more

Hughes Exterminators inspected my home in Dec 2021...found no termites. On Feb 18, less than 90 days later, we discovered we had numerous termites. Use Hughes AT YOUR OWN RISK... I could not upload the photos...disgusting. read more

Please be careful choosing this company- I paid a year in advance for 2 years and I was promised that in between I would have issues taken care of. -- unfortunately they billed me for a new service even though I paid for the year. read more

Would recommend to everyone. This service was recommended by my vet since I have pets. I didn't want any harmful chemicals in my home. They were able to send a service rep. to come out and give an opinion the day after I called. I received a confirmation email immediately. The service rep. was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need. She was very sweet to my cats and gave me some extremely helpful advice in lieu of using chemicals. Great customer service experience before, during and after the service. Thanks, with extra gratitude to Heather! read more

Called to discuss office told me we were sold the wrong service and need inside service also for more money!!!! No Refunds!!!!! Beware!!!!!!! Naples FL Location!! read more

It is hard to rate because the tech was great! Also because of Covid19 we didn't have him spray indoors a few times. The problem has been right from the beginning. The trust of the person that tried to sell us the termite control, showing us a picture in his phone which was nothing like the pictures from the 4points and wind mitigation done not long before. Also the office person is very dismissive and now has become a pest calling almost every day! On August 22, 2020 we received a bill for $17, I texted and called, she made up some sort of excuse. Then we received a bill for $80 for service on 11/23/20. I called on 12/5/20 at 4:30, talked to Skyler and since I thought it was for the warranty from the time before, I told her I would not pay it. She was ok. On 12/7/20 at 10:30 I also called and talked to Susan. She said that it was for the new contract year, when I said I did not sign up or want a new contract, she said I had a "revolving contract" never heard of such thing! She has been calling non stop, harassing and not giving up. read more

Excellent service, taught me how to manager my pests in the interim, explains what he's doing and why, and overall kind & thoughtful.

Not happy with this company. I am an Real Estate Agent who had a listing in Punta Gorda. The buyers agent allowed the inspector to go into the home for a termite inspection in which they found no signs of termites but found $1200 worth of rat infestation supposedly. That we are still working on disputing per photos receive. Another issue is the inspector was given one day access and as of yesterday a Hughes truck went into the home again per a neighbor who visually saw the man in the home without permission. Not acceptable. I called and spoke to the office manager and another person Dan who said they have no record of someone going into the home and unless I have a picture of the truck or # listed on the car there was nothing they can do. That's ridiculous! So they obviously have no care in the safety of peoples homes. I am fuming mad the house is vacant as the seller past away and they aren't willing to do anything to help unless I have pictures or ring doorbell video. So I am now having to call all neighbors to find out who this company had in this home. Awful! read more

We started working with Hughes Exterminators to monitor for termites right after we purchased our house. Then we had a rat problem in our attic. Hughes sent someone out immediatly to look. Yes we had rats and we signed a yearly contract with them to exterminate them. A few months later we heard the rats again and called Hughes. They were out the next day and checked the traps frequently until we felt the problem was solved. We recently heard the noises again. They came out the next day and continued trying to eradicate them. They also did a smoke test and found a potential problem with our waste pipe. They coordinated with our plumber to work together to help solve our problem. The two contractors worked as a team to search for the problem and they believe they found and fixxed it. Hughes stuck behind their work, no extra charges. We appreciate the way they stand behind their agreements and treat us as a valued customers. If you need an exterminator we highly reccomend Hughes! read more

After a year, my yard looks worse than it did when they started. When trying to resolve a billing issue, my wife could hear the girl yelling at me from across the living room. I hate being talked down to by someone who is just plain rude ! read more

Used them for a few years and Roy was fantastic, he left and some other guy immediately tried selling me termite control for $700 and when he walked through my house it was obvious he didn't want to be doing this, I cancelled and just called Ant Linda to give her a try. read more

HORRIBLE customer service. Randy Fodor, branch manager, makes everything the customer's problem,He is rude dismissive and most certainly does NOT put the customer first. read more

Dave is our personal exterminator. If we tell him there's an issue without question he'll tend to it. He is very accommodating, extremely friendly and very thorough. Whenever we've called we found Hughes Exterminator to be a customer oriented company. read more

We use Hughes for our lawn care service as well as inside pest control. So far I am enjoying a great looking yard and I seem to have fewer bugs in the house. read more

If we choose not to renew our contract for a second year, it will NOT be because the technicians aren't doing their job, it will be because of the woman who answers the phone. I've never experienced anyone in the service industry with worse customer skills. read more

Hughes has sprayed 6 times for ticks in my yard and they are just as bad as when started. Perhaps I need to take the ticks down taken off my dog and dump them on a desk read more

My mother in law was a customer of theirs for 10 yrs and always thought very highly of them. She even referred a couple of friends to them, however when we needed them to come ou lately, it took 3 calls to get the tech to even return a call. They used to have Mark R and he was awesome but now the girl in the office doesnt even know who will help us. They also used to schedule the appointments but now they dont do that and you have to wait and hope someone calls you back. They certainly dont care about customer loyalty thats for sure! If youre smart, go with someone who you can depend on. This company no longer is that company sadly and when they do spray, chances are you will need them to comeout and re do the area anyway. read more
