Beware of Door-to-Door
It’s important that our customers and other homeowners are aware of pest control companies that employ Door-to-Door sales tactics. Not only do these companies send sales representatives into neighborhoods to sell pest control services, but their sales reps can also be intrusive, annoying, and disruptive. Furthermore, there are serious issues that homeowners need to be aware of concerning companies who sell pest control services door-to-door.
- A door-to-door sales rep will use high pressure sales techniques to get a homeowner to sign a contract for pest control services.
- Definitely read any contract presented by a door-to-door salesperson so you’re clear what services they’re offering and what the total cost is. The sales pitch and price are often too good to be true.
- In spite of what they tell you, the door-to-door sales rep is not a licensed pest control applicator and cannot legally provide pest control service. At Southern/Sovereign Pest Control, we believe that a homeowner should only sign a contract for Pest Control services after an inspection from a technician who is licensed by the State Department of Agriculture.
- Many homeowners will succumb to high pressure sales techniques, then decide soon after that they want to cancel the contract. If you end up signing a contract, be aware that it may contain terms that won’t permit you to cancel it.
- Last, but not least, we encourage all customers of Southern and Sovereign Pest Control to contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-394-4737 (Option 2) if they are approached by a door-to-door sales rep from a competitor. One of our representatives will be happy to answer questions about pest control services and prices.

Southern pest control is amazing. I actually look forward to Nathan’s yearly visits because he teaches me new things about my house and about bugs.When I was worried I had a rat, he came over immediately and set traps, explaining how it got in and how we would ensure no more arrived. Thank you nathan! Thank you southern pest control!

I’ve been having SPC come and clean my place inside and outside for the past year. Their workers are always so friendly and nice being calm and collected. The last time we had JR Smith come to spray our house he’s so friendly, professional & knowledgeable. Jr Smith is such a great worker and and I would be amazing to have him come again.

I’m not the type to typically leave reviews but when a company goes above & beyond for their customers, I just have to! We have been using SPC for a little over 1 year now & have been super happy with their services thus far. The last 2 times we have had JR Smith come out to spray our house & all I can say is WOW! He’s so friendly, prompt, professional & knowledgeable - I seriously will go out of my way just to make sure he’s the tech we get assigned to since you’re able to request this when booking your future appointments. JR is the man!!

I have been a Southern Pest Control customer for over twenty years. They were the company that did the construction termite treatment on our new home. We continue with them each year as they come out for the annual termite inspection. They leave insect traps inside and treat the outside areas to keep bugs out of the house. Whenever I called about an insect problem they quickly scheduled a technician visit to take care of the issue. That is the reason twenty plus years and counting I’m still and will continue to be a Southern Pest Control customer.

Southern Pest Control has been protecting our home from termites for almost 40 years. For a reasonable price they inspect the home annually and come at no additional charge with any pest concern. This year I called them to check for mice outside and then a different time for spiders inside. They cheerfully schedule a convenient time and always make me feel like a valued customer. I do not hesitate to recommend their services.

We have used Southern Pest Control for 20 years (prior residence and current residence) and are very happy with their service. They are responsive, easy to schedule, and come back if there is a 'pest' issue. For us, it's little ants. But is is afirming to know we dont have termites or other major issues. Recommend at least yearly inspections. The technicitions that come are professional, knowledgable and engaging. Highly recommend.

I would definitely recommend Southern Pest Control for all your pest concerns. The monthly payments are affordable, and the product works. Nathan, my technician, is always on time, courteous, knowledgeable about bugs, and listens to any concerns you may have. I plan to keep my contract with them.

I've used for termite inspection since building the home 17 years ago. This Company was the original firm that installed the termite bearer around the home. I used to have the pest service, but they were not very good. All that was done was bug and mice traps left around the house and in the garage. I've used another service that is excellent and a lot cheaper that comes out quarterly.

We've been very happy with Southern Pest Control. We actually switched to another pest control company based on the recommendation of a friend and ended up having a lot of issues, so we switched back to Southern. David is our favorite tech--super thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable.

We have used Southern Pest Control for almost thirty years and am satisfied with their service. During our first year in this house, we had a problem with termites. Southern Pest treated to eliminate the termites and we have had no problems since. Obviously, the treatment worked. They provide us with an annual inspection and perimeter treatment.

We've used Southern Pest for over 25 years and been extremely pleased about our third year, we experienced a termite issue. SP immediately came out, repaired the damage, and implemented a mitigation strategy that has resulted in no recurrence. Ant problems have periodically occurred and SP comes out immediately to spray and lay traps. In all these years they have been prompt, courteous, and effective.

I have used Southern Pest Control for over 20 years. Originally contracted with them for termite inspection when I purchased my home. I now use them for my annual termite inspection and quarterly insect control and extermination. I have also used them for exterminating field mice that have gotten into my home. Although their on-line scheduling process can present some challenges if you are not accustomed to it, scheduling by phone is always a breeze. They commit to an on-time guarantee and have never failed. The exterminators are professional and will take care of your problem(s) before they leave. I highly recommend Southern Pest Control.

The pest control reps are very efficient. One in particular I should mention is David. He has been here the most. He understands my phobia of those big outdoor bugs that somehow got in and he suggested that maintenance get the front doors fixed to better try to keep them out. That has been done. David also went to look up in the attic and when he stepped on the bottom rung, it broke. I do hope he is ok. They fixed that too and the young maintenance guy went up and made sure there was nothing up there like mice, squirrels, etc. making a home!I appreciate that you can come out when I see something! So far so good! Not even spiders! But then it is getting colder! The big test of the doors will be next Spring/Summer.Thanks again for being there for me!

I’ve had Sovereign Pest Control coming to treat my home for the past 2 years and every technician has been great. Yesterday, I had JR Smith and he was super friendly and knowledgeable. I wasn’t home the time of my scheduled appointment and JR waited for me to get there to finish spraying the inside of my house. He was so kind and professional. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

I am new to the area, and not used to dealing with bugs like this in the home. I called to make an appointment and spoke to a gentleman who was very kind to explain everything to me patiently and in detail, making sure I understood exactly what I was getting.The tech that fulfilled the appointment was extremely respectful, pleasant, on-time, and efficient. I appreciated the level of professionalism that I received from this company and would be pleased to used them again in the future!
