About Stayton Pest Services

Established in 1991, the owners of Stayton Pest Services represent a second generation in the pest control industry.  The owner, Frank Stayton Thompson III, went on calls with his dad when he was little and started working for him in 1982 at the age of 17.  Frank married his wife Carla in 1990, and together they started Stayton Pest Services in March 1991, in Venice Florida. 30 years later, with 4 grown boys, Frank and Carla have kept the heart of the company very much the same, but the size, technology, methods, and service area have grown and changed as much as the area they serve. Stayton Pest Services is a small family oriented and operated business that serves Southern Manatee County, Lakewood Ranch, and all of Sarasota County.

What Makes Us Different?

One of the many things that makes Stayton Pest Services different is that you wont see ads for their company.  The owners decided the money would be better spent providing customers with better service.  High quality products, more time on the property, and individualized care have been the catalyst for growing Stayton's word of mouth business.

Another difference is that each Stayton customer is an individual with different needs, which means you wont see the same service year after year, and there are no blanket treatments! No two homes, lawns, shrubs or palms are the same.  Stayton is constantly evolving and seeking to improve in every area of service, which means if there is a better way to do it, your going to get the better way.  

Specialized and improved service does not come without great thought and research. Carla is chemically sensitive, so Frank developed an effective service at his house, that has in turn benefited their customers. Through trial and error at their own expense, Frank has continually looked for a better way to care for his family and customers.  They found that less material, targeted in a more precise manner, toward a specific need, is more beneficial for the long term health of lawn, shrubs and palms.  Boosting the health clearly matter as much to your lawn and shrub as it does for your body.  The healthier the host, the less susceptible it is to development of disease!

(Frank and Carla found that bodies that are susceptible to disease are frequently weak to begin with.    Killing beneficial pests reduce the overall health in you lawn, shrubs and palms.  Beneficial pests are pests that support the health of the host.  They kill pests that harm, and frequently create an environment that allows the host to thrive.  Blanket treatments don't take this fact into account.  A blanket treatment of the lawn for example may make it the greenest lawn on the street, but it may weaken the grass and make it have a shorter lifespan than you were hoping for when you installed it.  Thee are a variety of factors that contribute to this health.  For example, proper watering (to read more on this click here) causes grass and plants to extend their roots deep into the soil.  This not only helps protect the plant during times of drought, but also increases to growth above ground making thicker grass and fuller plants and shrubs.  Thicker grass squeezes out weeds, shades itself during hot summer months, holds in moisture and is less appealing to things like chinch bugs!  Amazing isn't it!
