Thackrey Pest Management has been protecting homes and businesses in Pinellas Park since 2000, and in that time we have built a reputation that holds up street by street across Pinellas County. Whether you are a homeowner dealing with a sudden roach problem or a property manager keeping a multi-unit building on a prevention schedule, we show up ready to work. Our team handles everything from one-time treatments for active infestations to recurring plans that keep pests from coming back. Work is performed by licensed pest control technicians who know this area, know its pests, and know how to get results. Quick response. Straight pricing. No surprises at the door.
We started this business in Pinellas Park more than two decades ago, and we have been here ever since. That is not a marketing line. It means we have treated homes in this area through every season, watched the pest pressures shift with the years, and learned what actually works in Florida's warm, humid climate. The name on our trucks is our own, and we stand by it.
Our service area covers Pinellas Park and the surrounding communities throughout the county, including Largo, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Seminole, Dunedin, and Safety Harbor. When you call us, you are reaching a team that knows these neighborhoods because we work in them every day. Trusted by local homeowners and property managers for their pest control, we have built that trust one job at a time, not through advertising claims but through showing up, doing the work right, and coming back when needed. We'll handle the pests so you don't have to.
We treat homes and businesses every day, and we are good at it. Our services cover the full range of common pest problems: general interior and exterior treatment, targeted pest removal, exterior barrier applications, and ongoing prevention plans designed to keep infestations from taking hold in the first place. We take a practical, results-focused approach. That means identifying where pests are entering, treating the right areas with the right products, and following up to make sure the problem is resolved.
We offer one-time treatments for customers who need immediate relief, as well as quarterly and bi-monthly recurring plans for those who want year-round protection. Treatment options are selected with families and pets in mind. We give you straight answers about the pests and the plan, no surprises, before any work begins.
Your home should be a place you feel comfortable, not one where you are sharing space with ants, roaches, or rodents. We work with homeowners across Pinellas Park and the surrounding area on everything from routine prevention to urgent infestations. Whether you are a long-time resident, a new homeowner getting ahead of problems early, or someone moving into a property that needs a thorough treatment before you settle in, we can help. We treat interior zones including kitchens, bathrooms, and entry points, as well as the exterior perimeter where most pest pressure originates. We keep your home protected season after season.
Property managers trust us to keep their buildings pest-free, and we take that responsibility seriously. We work with apartment communities, small businesses, offices, restaurants, and multi-unit properties throughout the county. Scheduling is flexible, service is discreet, and our recurring plans are designed to fit around your tenants and your operations. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption, and we keep documentation clear so you always know what was treated and when. Call today and we will get the pests out for good.
Pinellas County's warm temperatures and year-round humidity create ideal conditions for a wide range of pests. Some are a nuisance. Others cause real damage or health concerns. We handle all of them.
Ants are one of the most common calls we receive in this area, and for good reason. Fire ants, ghost ants, Caribbean crazy ants, and white-footed ants are all active throughout Pinellas County. Our treatment focuses on the exterior perimeter, entry points, and any active trails or nesting sites. Customers can expect a thorough inspection followed by targeted application, with follow-up built into recurring plans to prevent recolonization.
Palmetto bugs and other cockroach species thrive in Florida's climate, and a small problem can grow quickly if it is not addressed. We use a combination of baiting, crack-and-crevice treatment, and exterior application to eliminate active infestations and reduce the conditions that attract them. For ongoing protection, a recurring prevention plan is the most effective way to keep roaches from returning.
Roof rats are a persistent problem throughout Pinellas County, and mice are common in residential and commercial properties alike. We address rodent problems through baiting, trapping, and a review of entry points on the property. Our goal is to eliminate the current population and reduce the access points that allowed them in. This is a pest control service, handled by our technicians as part of a standard treatment plan.
Spiders in Florida are mostly a nuisance pest, but regular interior and exterior treatment keeps populations down and gives homeowners peace of mind. Wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, and carpenter bees are a different matter, especially when nests are located near doors, eaves, or outdoor living areas. We remove active nests and treat the surrounding area to discourage rebuilding. Both spider control and stinging insect removal can be included in a recurring prevention plan or handled as a one-time service.
Fleas and ticks are a real concern for pet owners in this area, and infestations can spread quickly through a home once they take hold. We treat interior and exterior zones to break the flea life cycle and reduce tick activity in yard areas. Silverfish are a quieter problem but can damage paper, fabric, and stored goods over time. We treat the areas where silverfish are most active and address the moisture conditions that attract them.
Your time matters, so we keep the treatment on schedule and the pricing clear from the start. We offer three service options to fit different needs and budgets.
All pricing is explained before any work begins. There are no hidden fees, and if anything changes during a job, we tell you before we proceed. We keep you informed from inspection to follow-up, so you always know what you are paying for and why. Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by property managers. Ready for your pest problem.
The sooner you call, the sooner the pests are gone. We offer same-day scheduling for customers who need fast service, and we are available for urgent situations that cannot wait. Whether you have discovered a wasp nest near your front door, a rodent in your kitchen, or a roach infestation that appeared overnight, we will get someone out to you as quickly as possible. Routine appointments are just as easy to schedule. Call us and we will find a time that works for you.
We are based in Pinellas Park and serve the full surrounding area throughout Pinellas County. Our regular service area includes Largo, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Seminole, Dunedin, and Safety Harbor, along with the neighborhoods and communities in between. If you are not sure whether we cover your address, call us and we will let you know right away.
We have been serving Pinellas Park and the surrounding area since 2000, which puts us at 26 years of local pest control experience. In that time we have treated homes and businesses through every season and learned the specific pest pressures that come with Florida's climate. That history is reflected in how we work and in the relationships we have built with customers who call us back year after year.
Yes, and it matters more than it might seem. Pests like ghost ants, white-footed ants, Formosan termites, Asian termites, and palmetto bugs behave differently in Florida's warm, humid environment than they do elsewhere, and effective treatment requires understanding those differences. We have been working with these specific species in this specific region for over two decades, and that experience shapes every inspection and treatment plan we build.
All work is performed by licensed pest control technicians who are familiar with Pinellas Park and the surrounding communities. We are not dispatching from somewhere outside the region. Our team works in these neighborhoods every day, which means faster response times and a better understanding of the conditions that drive pest activity locally.
Yes. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and after hours. If you have a pest situation that cannot wait, call (727) 632-4995 and we will get someone to you as quickly as possible. We understand that some problems do not show up during convenient hours.
We use pet-safe and family-safe treatment options as a standard part of every job. Before we begin, we confirm which areas of the home need to be cleared and how long to keep pets and children away from treated surfaces while products dry. We treat food preparation areas with care and use products appropriate for those zones.
We respect your schedule, and that means arriving when we say we will. Our trucks are clean and marked, and our technicians come prepared with the tools and products needed to complete the job. If something changes on our end that affects your appointment time, we contact you in advance.
We cover a wide stretch of Pinellas County, including Largo, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Seminole, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Kenneth City, and Tarpon Springs. If you are in a community not on that list, call us anyway. We cover more ground than we can fit in a short answer, and we would rather confirm we can help than have you assume otherwise.
Yes. The name on our trucks is our own, and we have been locally owned and operating in Pinellas Park since 2000. When you call us, you are reaching a team that is personally accountable for the work we do in this community. That accountability is not something we take lightly after 26 years in the same area.
We schedule our routes to cover the area efficiently, which means we can typically handle several jobs in a day without cutting corners on any of them. Each property gets the time it needs for a proper inspection and treatment. If a job runs longer than expected, we communicate with the next customer rather than rushing through the work.

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.
