Dear Tampa Bay Homeowner,

My name is Coby McConnell. I own Coby's Tentless Termite and Pest Control, and I've been in this trade since 1986.

If you're reading this, you've probably got a problem with termites, roaches, ants, or something else you'd rather not have in your house, and you're trying to figure out who to call. I know that's a confusing thing to sort through. Every company sounds about the same on a website.

So here's what makes us different, plainly.

The termite side

We treat drywood termites without tenting your home. That's been our main work since 2003, and from 2003 to 2016 I was personally on every one of those jobs but five.

Fumigation works. The people doing it are professionals doing their job, and there are homes where a tent is genuinely the right call. When yours is one of them, I'll tell you that at the inspection instead of selling around it. But in most drywood situations we can treat the wood itself, and you don't pack up your pantry or leave your house for three days.

Our termite guarantee: if the bugs come back, so do we. That's backed by an annual warranty inspection. We come out, we look, and if something's active we handle it.

The pest control side

Quarterly service for roaches, ants, silverfish, wasps, and the rest of what Florida sends at you.

Our pest control guarantee is different, and it's simple: you don't have to be satisfied, you have to be 100% happy. If you're not happy after 30 days, we come back and retreat for free, and we keep treating for free until you are. If that still doesn't do it, we refund every penny of the initial treatment and pay you $25 for your time and trouble.

Who you'll actually see

My son Austin started working with me in 2013 and handles all our termite work now. He's the one who'll be at your door. My aunt Kit runs the office.

If you've got a problem, or just a question, call 727-462-0400 and ask for me or Austin. Most of the time I can tell you a lot over the phone. And if you only want to know what you're looking at, ask anyway. I'll answer it whether you hire us or not.

As long as GOD keeps makin' 'em, we'll keep killin' 'em.

Coby
