  • Bruce Banner
    I set this appointment for a termite inspection and asked if he did Saturday's. He said yes and could come by as early as 730am. I was ecstatic with that availability. He was on time, courteous and professional. Without a doubt, one of the best experiences with a provider I've ever had. Very thorough. I highly recommend that you use this company for any pest control service. Definitely more than five stars. Thanks Johnny!
  • scott mcintyre
    Begining of August 2026, my st.augustine grass was showing signs of stress in the front yard, watering wasnt working, found out it was chinch bugs. My lawn has always been beautiful and weed free here in winter springs. I called one place to see if they could come out that day, no luck, called Gato Guard, talked to Dario, he said i will be right out, 45 minutes later hes spraying the lawn. The next morning i could see i was in control of my lawn. A week later he shows up without an appt. and sprays a second time as per our agreement. I didnt have to chase anyone down, they just honored there contract. I want to give a super big thanks to Dario, a man of his word.

    I want to thank Gato Lawn for having such a wonderfull staff. In particular Alex he goes over and be on with his customer service. If I have any concern regarding anything to do with my grass his available 1000%. He explains everything and checked and makes sure all is well. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Also like the fact that the same technician comes over to do my service not just random ones that way he knows exactly how the grass was and what his doing to keep it well.
  • Andrew Swan
    We had been looking for a good pest control company to work with, and after seeing Gato recommended by a few people on Facebook, we decided to give them a call. We didn’t have any major pest problems, but we wanted to be proactive and make sure we were doing everything we could to keep it that way. From the start, Gato was very communicative and walked us through the entire process, so we knew exactly what to expect. Our technician, Charles, was friendly, professional, and very thorough. He took the time to explain what he was treating both inside and outside our home and what he was using to treat each area. Once he was finished, he followed up with us again to go over what he found, what he applied, and what we could expect moving forward. Overall, we’ve had a great experience with Gato so far. We really appreciate their communication, attention to detail, and thoroughness, and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with them in the future.
  • Michael Wathen
    I am a Realtor and Gato did an amazing job helping my client get a treatment accomplished so they could move forward with their purchase. They were professional, moved quickly, had exceptional customer service on the phone, and made it look easy! So thankful for this team.
  • Keisha
    Gato Guard has been protecting our home against insects and pests for almost 16 years. They are a great company. Today Diego came through, and we were very pleased. Nathan was a godsend when we were having issues with raccoons! All of the technicians are friendly and informative.
  • Kid City USA Winter Park
    I have been using Gato Guard for several years now with no complaints. They are fast and efficient ...and will come out extra if activity is seen during the month. Alina in the office is friendly and helpful, and my tech is Charles is very knowledgeable. I call them whenever I need pest control at my business or home.
  • KaiMak714
    Nathan did a great job doing our inspection. He was courteous and efficient and handled everything. He explained to us what was happening and we had our report the next day. Happy to hear we are in good shape and have no infestation of termites.
  • Cassandra Jenkins
    Gato Lawn Service was referred by a relative. She advised that their service and attention to detail was excellent. I can now say she was 100% in her assessment of Gato Lawn Service. Unfortunately, we did not received the expected type of service we thought we would get from our HOA lawn maintenance, therefore our lawn was in need of treatment. The young man who service our lawn was very professional and through with explaining the treatment plan and application. We are very pleased thus far with Gato Lawn Service.
  • Megan Parker
    Gato Guard came highly recommended by several of our neighbors in Keene’s Pointe, and now we understand why! We recently moved to the area and have been very happy with their service. They are reliable, knowledgeable, responsive, and very thorough. It’s so helpful to find a local company that our neighbors trust and that we can feel comfortable continuing to use for our home. We would absolutely recommend Gato Guard to others in the Windermere area!
