About ShieldPoint Pest Control
A family-owned, licensed pest control company built by Tampa Bay residents, for Tampa Bay residents — protecting local homes since 2011.
Built on Trust, Grown by Referrals
ShieldPoint Pest Control opened its doors in 2011 with a single truck, a Florida pest control license, and a simple mission: treat every Tampa home like it was our own. What started as one technician answering calls from the West Kennedy Boulevard office has grown into a full-service pest control company serving thousands of households across the Tampa Bay metro — without ever losing the local, personal touch that built the business.
Today, ShieldPoint is proud to be a family-operated company with more than 15 years of experience treating the specific pest pressure that comes with living in a humid, subtropical climate. From termite swarms after summer rains to the mosquito surges that follow Tampa Bay storms, our technicians have seen it all — and know how to fix it.

Our mission is simple: deliver honest inspections, effective treatments, and responsive service so Tampa families can enjoy their homes without worrying about what’s living in the walls, attic, or backyard.
