Pest Control General Store was founded in December of 1987 and has been at the same location for over 36 years. Owner Peter Giordano’s knowledge and expertise has provided homeowners and businesses that wanted/needed to reduce expenses by doing their own pest control and lawn care everything they need, from the Professional-Strength Product to the equipment and, most importantly, the expert advice on doing the job SAFELY and Effectively, at a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional company. His knowledge also appeals to industry professionals who need advice from someone who is “on top of their game.” Peter started the very first Do It Yourself Pest Control retail store in the Tampa Bay area of Florida some 33 years ago and worked in the Service Industry for many years prior to “retiring his sprayer” and opening the retail outlet dedicated to educating homeowners and businesses to do their own pest control using professional products and having the benefit of being advised and consulted by a professional.
Peter’s wife and co-owner, Mona Giordano, followed suit and received her State of Florida Certified Pest Control Operator’s Certification about 30 years ago, and together they have over 55 years of combined experience in the pest control field. Mona is a teacher at heart, and loves sharing her knowledge with people who have become frustrated by wasting their time and money on products that don’t work, purchased from people who don’t have the proper training to give sound and informed advice, with products they can’t even pronounce! She’s the “PR” part of the team and enjoys doing educational seminars for the community and the public school system. She hosted a live call-in radio and television show for 7 years called “The Home and Lawn Pest Control Show” and many still recall the fun and informative shows (especially the game portion; Name That Bug!” where they won great prizes.)
Together, they are an unbeatable team. You can count on the Professionals at Pest Control General Store for ALL your Pest Control and Lawn & Garden Ne.
