We provide trusted residential pest control using a blend of proven methods and modern Integrated Pest Management practices. Our focus is simple. Do the job right. Treat people with respect.

Founder David Tassos spent years in the pest control industry working alongside experienced professionals who managed teams, handled complex infestations, and solved real world pest problems.

Florida Pestworx was built to be different. It was created to deliver pest control with a personal touch, where customers are treated like neighbors and not just stops on a route. With over a decade of hands on experience and advanced training through the University of Florida Pest Management University, David leads a growing team that specializes in residential pest control, termite control and prevention, mosquito suppression, fire ant control, and more.
We do not believe in one size fits all solutions or high pressure sales. Every home is different. Every situation is different. Our treatments are carefully planned, thoughtfully applied, and designed to provide long term protection.

If you are searching for honest and effective termite control in Lakeland or anywhere in Polk County, Florida Pestworx is here to help protect your biggest investment.
Outdoor Mosquito Control
Take back your outdoor space with Florida Pestworx and our mosquito suppression program designed specifically for Florida yards and outdoor living. We use professional grade adulticides and larvicides to target mosquitoes at every stage of their life cycle and deliver real, lasting relief.
Whether you are hosting friends, spending time with family, or simply trying to enjoy your backyard without being bitten, our service provides a smarter and more effective option than store bought sprays or candles.
Fire Ant Elimination
Fire ants do not just bite. They take over. Florida Pestworx provides a targeted fire ant treatment program designed to eliminate colonies at the source so you can enjoy your yard without the risk of painful stings.
We use professional grade baits that are carried back into the colony by the ants themselves. This allows the treatment to reach the queen and shut the entire colony down, not just the visible mound. The result is long term control where it actually matters.
Our fire ant treatments are safe for children, pets, and Florida lawns when applied properly. They are a great option for families who spend time outdoors and want to use their yard without worry.
Whether you are dealing with a few scattered mounds or widespread activity, we will tailor the treatment to your property and provide real relief.
If you are looking for reliable fire ant control in Lakeland or anywhere in Polk County, Florida Pestworx is ready to help you take your yard back.

Choose this option for effective, environmentally conscious pest solutions tailored to your needs.
PestProof Attic & Crawlspace Dusting
Pests are drawn to undisturbed areas like attics and crawlspaces, and those spaces are often overlooked during standard treatments. That is why Florida Pestworx offers professional attic and crawlspace dusting to target hidden areas where roaches, spiders, ants, silverfish, and other pests nest and travel.
This service uses a professional grade insecticidal dust that is blown into hard to reach spaces including attic flooring, insulation surfaces, and crawlspace voids. Once applied, the dust continues working over time to help reduce pest activity in areas that rarely see foot traffic but commonly harbor infestations.
Attic and crawlspace dusting is a great option for homes with ongoing pest pressure, after construction or remodeling, or as part of a comprehensive prevention plan.
