Native Pest Management was named a 2022 Gator100 business, ranked at No. 18. The Gator100 announced the 2022 winners in January and recognized the recipients at an award ceremony on April 22 at the University of Florida campus.

The Gator100 celebrates the world’s fastest-growing, Gator-led business. To qualify for the award, a company must have been in business for at least five continuous years; be owned or led by a University of Florida alum; have annual revenues of $250,000 or more; and operate in sync with the values and images of the University of Florida.

We take pride in our exceptional services and it shows with thousands of five star reviews on Google, Yelp, Facebook, Nextdoor and the Better Business Bureau,” Lewis said. “I’m hoping we can continue to be named to the Gator100 list in future years, as we are starting to become known as the best reviewed pest control service in West Palm Beach, Fla., and surrounding areas.”
