Pest Control in Palm Harbor, Clearwater, St. Petersburg & Dunedin, Florida

Michael Stewart
Hello and welcome to the creepy creatures Pest Control Podcast. I’m Mike Stewart, your host with pest expert Dusty Showers, the pest expert in Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Dunedin and St. Petersburg, Florida. Dusty, are you here on the show today?

Dusty Showers
I’m here, Mike. Thanks for having me.

Michael Stewart
Well, you know, I want to get a little bit of a quick introduction of Who are you how long you’ve been in business and what sets you apart. So, tell us a little bit about yourself and how long you’ve been taking care of pests in the Palm Harbor, Clearwater Dunedin & St. Petersburg area.

Dusty Showers
Well, I unofficially got my start when I was in college, and I started collecting reptiles and all sorts of unusual animals. And, and that was when I decided that I really wanted to do something like this for a living. So I started my first business back in 1992. And I ran that for a while and life was good. I decided to take a break for a few years and spend some time in real estate and when that market crashed I said, I’m going back to catching snakes. So I opened up Creepy Creatures, Inc, where we focus on pest control and wildlife issues.

Michael Stewart
All that’s exciting. Well, what do you tell people that set you apart from your competition? How are you different? And tell me some about the specialties that you creepy Creatures, Pest Control take care of her residents in the area?

Dusty Showers
Well, I think that the neatest thing is I get to do what I did when I was 12. You know, I run around, finding animals figuring out what animal we’re dealing with or what bug it is we’re dealing with, and how to best take care of it. So I have a true interest in what I do. It’s not just a business. It’s something that I even even when I’m not doing my business, I’m out messing around looking for things to catch or find in what’s crawling around my yard. So it’s really something that I enjoy doing. One of the things I think that makes us pretty unique is you know, we’re a small business and we’re flexible. So when people have issues, we can react right away. And you’re not just a number. We know who our customers are. And when people call us, we know who we’re talking to. And we know, you know, what we need to do to make them happy in their service.

Michael Stewart
What type of treatments do you do? You know, I assume you do the basic pest control, General pest control, and I assume termites are a problem in Florida. Just list off all the different services that Creepy Creatures you provide.

Dusty Showers
Well, we deal with a lot of rats, rats are everywhere in Central Florida. So we deal with a lot of those. Of course we deal with pest control, which includes mostly things like roaches and spiders, silverfish, fleas, ticks, and other wildlife issues that might show up like squirrels and raccoons and such we find humane ways to move them into areas where they’re better suited. And of course, you can’t live in central Florida without having termites. So we do service, the two main types of termites that we have here, which are subterranean and drywood termites. And so we find ways that really work for the customer. We’re not looking to come in and sell anyone a package. You know, we don’t want to twist your arm. So you got to buy everything that we have to offer, but we look at what kind of issues you’re having, what kind of issues you might be getting in the future, and show you how we can help with that.

Spoke with Dusty on the phone to discuss our pest issue. Dusty was extremely professional and took the time to talk me through ideas on how to resolve the issue on our own. It was evident in speaking with Dusty that he really knows his profession and he wants to help anyone in need. Thank you again, Dusty! I really appreciate your advice! Dusty has excellent videos on YouTube so be sure to subscribe to his channel and I would recommend you call him for any pest control needs.

They service 2 of my homes in the area and Joe, responds whenever we call. This is the way to conduct a home service business! Top Notch! If you need a pest control service call Creepy Creatures!

I have used this service more than once and could not be more pleased. They are there when they say they will be. Their performance is excellent. And their pricing is really great. Joe, the young man who set the traps is very professional and follows up to make sure the critters are gone. Recommend them highly.

The tech went above and beyond the call of duty! He returned as often as we needed him. We live next to a preserve and were invaded by some tricky rodents. Even while we were away for an extended time, the tech came and checked our attic at my request, reporting back while onsite to sooth my troubled mind. Great company!

Just fantastic people! We thought we might have termites and didn't. Instead of "treating" what didn't exist they we're honest and helped point us in the direction of what we needed. Really trustworthy people.

I have roof rats who were chewing holes through my screened lanai area off the backyard. Since hiring their services and setting the traps I have found two more dead rats on the pool deck area. Matt has always informed me when he’s coming out and what he’s done. Thanks for your service!

I have never met such professional and thorough people. A gentleman named Joe is the one that comes to treat my home. He is so incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent, and he just doesn't miss a thing. For years I have never been able to get rid of those little ants that you get inside your house. When Joe told me he would take care of them, my first thought was "yeah right!" After the first visit I never saw them again. I was completely amazed! I recommended this company to my mom because my dad is a contractor and he had done everything he could and still could not figure out how to get rid of those ants. They experienced the same results. They never saw another ant again. I don't know how they do it , but I am incredibly grateful to have found this company. I will always be a lifelong customer.
