We treat homes and businesses every day, and we're good at it, which means we know exactly what to look for and how to get results that last. Our services cover full interior and exterior pest treatment for homes, apartments, rental units, offices, warehouses, and commercial properties of all sizes.
Every service starts with a thorough inspection. From there, we build a treatment plan that fits the property, whether that means a targeted interior treatment, a perimeter pest control application along the foundation and entry points, or a complete exterior barrier treatment to keep pests from getting inside in the first place.
We use pet-safe and family-safe treatment options on every job. You should not have to choose between protecting your family and getting rid of pests, and with us, you do not. We'll handle the pests so you don't have to.
Pinellas Park sits in one of the most active pest environments in the country. The heat, humidity, and subtropical climate mean pest pressure does not let up in winter the way it does farther north. Termites, ants, and roaches are active year-round here, and the conditions that attract them are baked into the landscape.
Asian termites and Formosan termites are both present in this area, and both are aggressive. Formosan colonies are especially destructive, capable of causing serious structural damage in a short time. Asian subterranean termites are similarly relentless and well-adapted to Florida's moist soil conditions.
Our approach starts with a thorough inspection to identify species, activity, and access points. Treatment follows integrated pest management principles, targeting both the colony and the conditions that support it. Entry-point sealing and exclusion work is part of the process, reducing the ways termites can reach wood in your structure. All work is performed by licensed pest control technicians who know these species and how to treat them effectively.
Ghost ants and white-footed ants are two of the most persistent ant species in Pinellas Park. Ghost ants are tiny, nearly translucent, and form multiple satellite colonies inside walls, under flooring, and around moisture sources. White-footed ants build massive colonies and forage in large numbers, often appearing suddenly along counters, windows, and exterior walls.
Both species require more than a surface spray. Interior and exterior treatment targets active trails and nesting zones, while recurring prevention plans break the cycle before new colonies get established. We keep your home protected season after season.
Palmetto bugs are American roaches, and they are a fixture of Florida living. They thrive in the warm, humid conditions found in garages, crawl spaces, utility areas, and around plumbing, and they move indoors when conditions outside get too wet or too dry.
Treatment focuses on the moisture and harborage conditions that draw them in. We apply interior pest treatment to active areas and combine it with perimeter pest control around the foundation, entry points, and exterior walls. Follow-up scheduling keeps the population from rebounding.
The sooner you call, the sooner the pests are gone, and we are ready to handle whatever has shown up on your property. We treat all of the following:
We give you straight answers about the pests and the plan, no surprises, so you always know what we found, what we are doing about it, and what to expect next.
Your time matters, so we keep the treatment on schedule, and we offer options that fit different situations and property types.
One-time treatment is the right call for an active infestation, a move-in situation, or a specific pest problem you need handled fast. We come out, treat the issue, and follow up to make sure it is resolved.
Quarterly prevention plans are built for year-round pest pressure. We service your property four times a year, maintaining the exterior barrier treatment and addressing any new activity before it becomes a problem. For Florida properties, this is often the most practical approach.
Bi-monthly prevention plans offer more frequent coverage for higher-activity properties, rental units, or commercial buildings where pest pressure is consistent and tenants or customers are present.
Same-day availability means you do not have to wait when something needs attention now. Call and we will do our best to get out the same day.
Pick the date. We do the treatment. We clean up after.
The name on our trucks is our own, and we stand by it.

Property managers trust us to keep their buildings pest-free, and we have been doing exactly that for businesses across the area for over two decades. We work with restaurants, offices, warehouses, retail spaces, rental properties, multi-unit residential buildings, and landlords who need reliable service they do not have to micromanage.
Commercial pest control requires a different approach than a standard home visit. Schedules matter, documentation matters, and discretion matters. We build recurring prevention plans around your operating hours, service your property on a consistent schedule, and apply integrated pest management principles that reduce chemical exposure while keeping pest activity under control.
We keep you informed from inspection to follow-up, so you always have a clear picture of what was found, what was treated, and when we are coming back. Call today and we'll get the pests out for good.
Pest control pricing depends on the pest, the size of the property, and the type of service, whether that is a one-time treatment or an ongoing prevention plan. We do not quote a number over the phone and then show up with a different one at the door.
When you call, we ask the right questions to give you an honest estimate before anything is scheduled. There are no hidden fees and no pressure to add services you do not need.

We have been locally owned and operating in Pinellas Park since 2000. That is 26 years of treating homes and businesses in this specific area, learning these specific pests, and building relationships with the people who call us back year after year.
All work is performed by licensed pest control technicians who know Florida's pest environment and treat every property with care. We use pet-safe and family-safe treatment options as a standard part of how we work, not as an add-on.
We follow up. If a treatment needs a second look or a pest issue comes back between scheduled visits, we come back. That is part of the job.
Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by property managers. Ready for your pest problem.
We are based in Pinellas Park and service the surrounding area throughout Pinellas County. Our regular service area includes:
If you are just outside this list, call and ask. We cover more ground than we can fit on a list, and we would rather find out we can help than have you assume otherwise. We'll handle the pests so you don't have to.
We offer same-day availability for customers who need fast service, and we do our best to get out the same day you call. If your situation is urgent, let us know when you reach us and we will prioritize accordingly. Call (727) 632-4995 and we will find the earliest opening on the schedule.
Yes. We work with single-family homeowners, landlords, apartment communities, offices, restaurants, warehouses, and multi-unit buildings throughout Pinellas Park and Pinellas County. The approach differs depending on the property type, but the standard of service is the same. Call us and we will talk through what your property needs.
We treat ants (including fire ants, ghost ants, Caribbean crazy ants, and white-footed ants), cockroaches and palmetto bugs, spiders, mice and rats, wasps and hornets, fleas, ticks, silverfish, house centipedes, bed bugs, carpenter bees, mosquitoes, and termites. Florida's climate keeps pest pressure active year-round, so we are prepared for all of it. If you are dealing with a pest not on that list, call us and we will let you know whether we can help.
A one-time treatment is designed for an active infestation that needs immediate attention. We come out, inspect the property, treat the problem, and follow up to confirm it is resolved. A recurring plan, either quarterly or bi-monthly, keeps your property serviced on a regular schedule so pests do not get a foothold between visits. For most properties in Florida's climate, a recurring plan is the more effective long-term approach.
Pricing depends on the type of pest, the size of the property, the severity of the infestation, and whether you are scheduling a one-time visit or enrolling in a recurring plan. We give you a clear number before any work begins, and there are no hidden fees. Call (727) 632-4995 and we will walk through the specifics with you.
For interior treatments, someone needs to be present to provide access to the affected areas. For exterior-only services, we can often complete the visit without you home, as long as we have discussed the scope of the job in advance. We will confirm the details when you schedule so there are no surprises on the day of the visit.
Most homeowners in Pinellas County benefit from quarterly or bi-monthly service because Florida's warm, humid climate means pest pressure does not slow down between seasons the way it does farther north. A recurring prevention plan spaces treatments evenly throughout the year and addresses new activity before it becomes a full infestation. We can help you decide which frequency makes the most sense for your property.
If a pest issue comes back or needs a second look between scheduled visits, we come back. That is part of the job. We will tell you upfront when a situation is likely to require more than one treatment so you know what to expect before we start.
For interior treatment, it helps to clear access to areas under sinks, along baseboards, and around appliances where pests are most active. If you have pets, plan to keep them away from treated surfaces until the product has dried. We will walk you through any specific preparation steps when you call to schedule.
Thackrey Pest Management is ready when you are. Same-day availability means a fast response is often possible, and our team knows Pinellas Park and the surrounding communities well enough to get to work the moment we arrive.
Do not let a pest problem sit. The longer it goes, the harder it gets.

Florida's pest pressure does not follow the seasons the way it does farther north, and Pinellas Park properties face active infestations year-round. We offer a range of service plans built around how your property is used, how much pest activity you see, and how often you want us out there. The table below lays out your options so you can find the fit that makes sense before you call.
| Treatment Plan | Best For | How Often | Pests We Target | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-Time Treatment | Active infestation or move-in situation | Single visit with follow-up confirmation |
| Best when you have a specific problem that needs immediate attention. We inspect, treat, and follow up to confirm the issue is resolved. |
| Monthly | High-activity properties or persistent infestations | Every 30 days |
| Keeps pressure on active pest populations and prevents rebound between visits. A practical choice for properties where pest activity is consistent. |
| Bi-Monthly | Rental units, commercial buildings, and busy households | Every other month, 6 visits per year |
| More frequent than quarterly, which works well for multi-unit buildings, landlords, and properties where tenants or customers are present. |
| QuarterlyMost Popular | Year-round home and property protection | 4 visits per year |
| Our most common residential plan. We maintain the exterior barrier treatment and address new activity before it becomes a full infestation. Florida's climate makes quarterly service the practical baseline for most homes. |
| Seasonal (Spring and Fall) | Lower-activity properties or secondary residences | 2 visits per year, timed to seasonal shifts |
| Timed around the periods when pest pressure typically increases. A lighter option for properties that are not occupied year-round or that see minimal pest activity. |
| Rodent Control | Homes or businesses with mouse, rat, or roof rat activity | Initial treatment plus scheduled follow-up visits |
| We use baiting and trapping methods and return to check activity and refresh stations. Entry-point and harborage assessment is part of the process. |
| Commercial / High-Traffic | Restaurants, offices, warehouses, and multi-unit buildings | Customized to operating hours and property type |
| Schedules are built around your hours. We document each visit and apply integrated pest management principles to reduce chemical exposure while keeping pest activity under control. |
How often should a home in Pinellas Park be treated for pests?
Most homes in Pinellas Park benefit from quarterly or bi-monthly service. Florida's warm, humid climate means pest pressure stays active year-round, so treatments spaced evenly through the year are more effective than a single annual visit. We can help you decide which frequency fits your property when you call.
What pests does a general treatment cover?
A standard treatment covers the most common residential pests we see in this area: ants including ghost ants, white-footed ants, fire ants, and Caribbean crazy ants, cockroaches and palmetto bugs, spiders, silverfish, house centipedes, and occasional invaders. Targeted pests like termites, bed bugs, and rodents are handled through their own service plans because they require a different approach.
Are treatments safe for children and pets?
We use pet-safe and family-safe treatment options on every job. You should not have to choose between protecting your family and getting rid of pests. We will tell you when to keep pets away from treated surfaces and how long to wait before re-entry so you know exactly what to expect.
Work Performed by Licensed Technicians
Every treatment is carried out by licensed pest control technicians who know Florida's pest environment and treat each property with care. We do not cut corners on the work or the people doing it.
Do I need to leave the house during or after a treatment?
For most interior treatments, you can remain home during the visit, though we may ask you to stay out of specific rooms while we work. After treatment, we will let you know how long to wait before re-entering treated areas. If a situation requires you to vacate for a period of time, we tell you upfront before scheduling.
How do I prepare before a technician arrives?
For interior treatment, it helps to clear access under sinks, along baseboards, and around appliances where pest activity is heaviest. If you have pets, plan to keep them away from treated surfaces until the product has dried. We walk you through any specific steps when you schedule so there are no surprises on the day of the visit.
What does exterior barrier treatment do, and how does it keep pests out?
Exterior barrier treatment applies product along the foundation, around entry points, and across the perimeter of the structure. The goal is to stop pests before they get inside rather than reacting after they have already moved in. We combine this with interior treatment when active pests are already present.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We ask the right questions over the phone so we can give you an honest estimate before anything is scheduled. There are no hidden fees and no pressure to add services you do not need.
What should I do if I find an active wasp or hornet nest?
Do not disturb it. Wasps and hornets defend their nests aggressively, and attempting removal without the right equipment puts you at risk. Call us and we will get out to treat and remove the nest. Same-day availability means you do not have to wait long when a stinging insect nest is close to a door, window, or area where people move around regularly.
What happens if pests come back between scheduled visits?
If a pest issue returns or needs a second look between your scheduled visits, we come back. That is part of the job. We will tell you upfront when a situation is likely to need more than one treatment so you know what to expect before we start. You should not have to wait for your next scheduled visit if something comes up.
Re-Treatment Between Scheduled Visits
If pest activity returns between your scheduled visits, we come back. Keeping your property protected is the job, and we stand by the work we do.
How does a recurring prevention plan work?
When you enroll in a recurring plan, we put your property on a regular service schedule, quarterly or bi-monthly depending on what fits your situation. We come out on that schedule, maintain the exterior barrier treatment, and address any new activity we find. You do not have to call to book each visit; we keep the schedule and reach out to confirm before each appointment.
Is there a long-term contract required for recurring service?
No long-term contract is required. We earn your continued business by doing the job well and keeping pest activity under control. If your situation changes, talk to us and we will work something out.
Why do pests sometimes come back after a treatment?
A single treatment addresses the pests present at the time of the visit, but it does not prevent new pests from moving in from outside. Florida's subtropical climate means new pressure can build quickly, especially with ants, cockroaches, and palmetto bugs. Recurring prevention plans are designed to address this by maintaining a barrier and catching new activity before it becomes a full infestation.
Every property is different, and the right plan depends on what you are dealing with and how your property is used. Call us at (727) 632-4995 and we will walk you through the options and put together a plan that fits.
