    Avoid this company at all costs!! Pay attention to the other reviews for property damage. Chet's could not have done a worse job if they tried. I hired them to tent my house for termites and they did not self-perform any work; they subbed out the job to Magnum Termite & Pest Control. At the very start of the job, my home internet and security cameras lost service. I called the office and Robin told me that was normal - the first of many lies Robin would tell me. What actually happened was that Magnum severed my fiber optic internet cable, which I would find out upon returning home days later with no internet. I had no internet and no ability to work from home for about a week. Robin and Carol were unapologetic and uncaring about the damage, and after arguing back and forth they finally offered me a discount on the termite bond. That is worthless to me as I would rather re-tent my house with a different pest control company than ever deal with these crooks again. Magnum also damaged furniture and left insulation from the attic all over my baby's nursery. Chet's reimbursed me for the damaged furniture because the damage was undeniable and it would come out of Magnum's pocket, not Chet's. The final straw with this company is that Magnum killed two pine trees in my front yard. The Chet's inspector told me during the pre-tent walkthrough that these trees were far enough from the house that the tent would be placed without them inside, but Magnum placed the trees inside the tent anyways. I noticed the trees were dead as soon as the tenting was done. Robin lied to my face multiple times when I called about the trees, saying that the trees would absolutely rebound from the "chemical burns" and she had never seen a tree killed by tenting. Well, after four months of watering and waiting for these dead trees to defy the laws of nature and come back to life, I realized that Chet's had lied to my face. I had to buy tools, new plants, and spend a day removing these trees that had been dead for months. Chet's did not care whatsoever and denied my request for reimbursement. I spent over $500 out of pocket as well as my time fixing the damage they caused and they couldn't care less. If I was unable to do the work myself or if I wanted to replace the trees with trees of an equal size, I could've spent more on fixing the damage than I spent on tenting in the first place. I cannot stress enough - do not hire Chet's for anything!! Robin and Carol are shameless liars and crooks. If this company went out of business it would be for the better.

    Followed car 23 yesterday and he drove so safe and normal id recommend Chets just for that reason and will definitely be my 1st call if I ever need pest control because if they hire people who can navigate Tampa the way car 23 did and not drive like a brain dead idiot and knows how to navigate Tampa, they obviously know what they are doing. I really hope this message makes it to the driver that drove car 23 on 11/5/26 because he or she really made my day.

    We’ve had a great experience with Chet’s Termite and Pest Control over the past four years. They’re responsive, easy to work with, and provide excellent value. We trust them to take care of our home completely.<br><br>As business owners in the service industry ourselves, we recognize exceptional service when we see it. Chet’s consistently goes above and beyond, and their professionalism and personal attention have made a lasting impression.<br><br>Our technician, Frank, is retiring and left us a thoughtful note letting us know that the next service would be his last. It was a classy gesture and much appreciated—especially at a time when customer service often feels less personal.<br><br>Frank will be missed, and we’re grateful for the care he’s shown us over the years. We wish him a wonderful retirement and look forward to meeting our next technician!

Company Background

About Chet's Termite & Pest Management, Inc.

Chet's Termite & Pest Management, Inc. is an owner run Tampa company based in its own building at 2112 West Waters Avenue, in north Tampa. The owner and president is Chet Rowland, who appears on the website as The Termite Terminator and says the company's 57 point inspection checklist took him decades to refine. The site says Chet's has served Tampa Bay for more than 30 years.

Termites are the core of the business. Chet's treats drywood and subterranean termites, performs tent fumigation, and offers organic and natural options. It also handles roaches, ants, rats, mice, fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. The inspection is free, and the site describes a no risk, 100 percent money back guarantee. Chet's was named a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and staff speak Spanish.

Google lists the office open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Chet's Termite & Pest Management, Inc. has 4.7 from 991 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026. Recent reviews are strong on tenting. Amber, who had a 1989 house tented, said the prep, fumigation and follow up were handled well, and Brittany said Chet's came in about 1,200 dollars below larger companies on a tent job. A customer since 2012 praised long serving techs, and two parents named Art for working carefully around their children's things.

The site does not print a Florida licence number, so ask for the business licence and check it with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Chet's suits Tampa homeowners in older houses who need termite tenting or a careful inspection. It suits less well anyone who wants lawn care from the same company. Before booking a tent job, ask for the written fumigation contract, the prep list and the terms of the money back guarantee.
