Pest Control reviews in Oviedo, Florida

"After 3.5 years of using Gatoguard’s service, my front lawn Gatoguard was completely ruined! What used to be a nice yard is now a patch of weeds. Wild weeds have taken over every inch of my lawn, and they’re even sprouting on top of the hedges! I’m incredibly disappointed."

We’ve been using Gato Guard for a few months now and have been impressed by every aspect of the business! The technicians are very knowledgeable and friendly. The office staff are helpful and clear on pricing and expectations.

Gato lawn & Pest Services has been awesome to work with. They always text before they arrive and send an update when they’re done so we know exactly what’s going on. They’re professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I wouldn’t use any other pest control company.

Gato has been taking care of my lawn and pest control for many years. Whenever I have a concern, it is addressed immediately. Reliable and friendly service always. I really appreciate my lawn and shrub technician, Jose, as he keeps me up to date on the health of my lawn.

Dear Valued Customers and Prospective Clients,

My father and I have been loyal patrons of Gato Guard for several years. I commend them for the quality of service they provide. Despite attempts by other well-known companies to compete by lowering prices, the primary reason for our continued patronage of Gato Guard is the exemplary service of Jose. I refer to him as "The Wizard of Sod," due to his extensive knowledge and exceptional skill in transforming lawns both near and far. Based on reviews from others who have praised Jose, it is evident that he is Gato Guard's "Golden Goose." For those whose technician is not Jose, I highly recommend requesting him, as his work is truly transformative. Overall, as long as Jose or "The Wizard of Sod" remains the technician for my father and myself, we will steadfastly remain loyal customers of Gato Guard.

I had an amazing experience with Johnny Gato for lawn and pest control services. I urgently needed a WDO inspection done the same day, and within minutes of reaching out, he responded and immediately scheduled me in.

Johnny was incredibly fast, professional, and efficient. He handled everything smoothly and made the entire process stress free. His communication and reliability truly stand out.

If you need a pest control inspector who is responsive, knowledgeable, and gets the job done right away, I highly recommend Johnny Gato!

Jose consistently provides exceptional service. He always sends me reminders of when he's coming. He educates me on what he's doing, what chemicals/fertilizers he's using, spot treats and persistent weeds, and gives me tips on growing a healthy lawn. He's been servicing my lawn for almost a year, and I think he's been doing an amazing job.

We signed up for their monthly plan (April 2024–March 2025) and then switched to bi-monthly in March 2025. Unfortunately, my lawn has been burned not once, but twice by their treatments—first in October 2024, and again in July 2025.

Since July, I’ve tried multiple times to get this resolved, but instead of a clear solution I’ve only received delays and conflicting answers. A technician confirmed the damage and even told me the lawn would need to be resodded, but weeks later I’m still waiting. Promises of sod delivery were made, then ignored. Management came out but suggested “plugs in September” instead of honoring the original resod agreement. Later, they blamed vendor grass issues and told me to keep waiting.

As a paying customer, I don’t think it’s fair that my lawn remains in poor condition because of mistakes made by this company. They caused the damage twice, admitted resodding was necessary, and still have not taken responsibility to fix it.

If you value accountability and reliable service, I cannot recommend this company.
