A Family Business Built on Trust & Results
Blue Frog Lawn & Bugs has been protecting Sarasota homes and lawns since 1996. We're locally owned, family operated, and genuinely passionate about the communities we serve.
Sarasota's Locally Owned Pest & Lawn Experts
Blue Frog Lawn & Bugs was founded by Pete Florian, who has been taking care of lawns and bugs in Sarasota and Manatee counties since 1996. What started as a passion for helping neighbors has grown into one of Southwest Florida's most trusted pest control and lawn care companies.

You're talking to neighbors who know Florida's pests, Florida's soil, and Florida's environment. We bring genuine expertise and genuine care to every property we service.
