Family Handyman has also credited Steven Rossetti of Florence Pest Solutions as a contributor to pest-control articles.

Steve came to eradicate capenter ants and spiders. He explained the process, was poilte, prompt and professional, and was a straight shooter. When I shared hoping that I wounldn't need a treatment again next summer he patiently expalined that eleminating one colony would not keep another from moving into my yard next summer. Then he quoted me a price that was less than half of what I had gotten from his competetors. Steve cautioned me that the treatment may take up to 2 weeks for full effecitveness but within 3 days all the ants were gone, and no sign of spiders. If I happen to need pest contorl in the future I know who to call!!
Wouldn’t hesitate to call Florence Pest Solutions again if needed. Steve is pleasant, prompt and gets the job done! Called me back immediately! I definitely give him 5 stars! Nice guy.
Steve is GREAT! He returned my call very quickly. He was able to come to my house and deal with my pest problem the next day. He arrived on time and was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. I will happily and enthusiastically recommend him. Thank you so much, Steve!
Steve was referred to me by my sister who had positive experiences working with him. Now my mother and I use him as well on an annual basis. He’s trustworthy, honest, friendly, and knowledgeable. He responds quickly to phone calls and texts. He takes the time to talk to you about the situation and treatment in a way that is understandable. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to my family and friends.
I found Steve through a recommendation when I had a hornets nest in the ground. I've had pest services for over a decade and when I called them to help me with the hornets, they were going to charge $500. A friend recommended Steve and he came out immediately and dealt with them for a reasonable price and was so friendly. When it was time to re-sign my yearly services, I switched to Steve. He is so responsive, comes immediately when there are problems, and is flexible to work with his clients. I highly recommend him!
