Accessibility Statement

Gator Pest Control wants every person in Brevard County to be able to use this website, including people who browse with a screen reader, navigate by keyboard, enlarge the text, or need reduced motion.

We treat that as part of doing the job properly, not as a legal box to tick. If any part of this site gets in your way, we want to hear about it and we will fix it.

How to tell us about a problem

The fastest way to reach us is the phone. If something on this website stops you getting what you need, call us and a person will help you directly, including placing your service request for you over the phone.

Phone: (321) 253-1188
Address: 2149 Aurora Rd, Melbourne, FL 32935

Please tell us the page you were on and what happened. We aim to reply within three business days, and we will tell you what we are doing about it and when. Nobody has to explain why they need something to work.

What we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the standard most widely used to judge whether a website is accessible.

Steps we have taken on this site:

Every page can be operated with a keyboard alone, and the element you are on is always visibly outlined.
A "Skip to content" link at the top of every page lets you jump past the menu.
Every text and background colour pair in the design was measured against the Level AA contrast minimum, and the borders of form fields and buttons were measured against the separate minimum that applies to controls rather than text.
Body text is set larger than is typical, and the layout reflows without breaking when you zoom in or use a phone.
Every image carries a text description for screen readers, and decorative images are hidden from them so they do not add noise.
Headings run in a correct order on every page, so screen reader users can navigate by structure.
Form fields have real labels, related choices are grouped, and errors are explained in words rather than colour alone.
Animation is switched off automatically for anyone whose device asks for reduced motion.
The site works without JavaScript, including the quote form.

Where we know we fall short

Being honest about this is more useful than claiming perfection:

Some older blog posts were carried over from our previous website. Their images have descriptions, but a few of those descriptions are shorter than we would like.
We have not yet had this site tested by an independent accessibility auditor, or by a panel of people who use assistive technology daily. Our own testing only goes so far.
Automated tools and hand checking catch a great deal, but they cannot tell you whether a page actually makes sense when it is read aloud. Until someone has done that end to end, treat our conformance claim as careful rather than certified.

We would rather list these than pretend they are not there. If you run into either, the phone number above still gets you a person.

What we deliberately do not use

This site does not use an accessibility overlay or "accessibility widget", the toolbars that appear in a corner offering to adjust a site for you. Many people who rely on assistive technology find these get in the way of the screen reader or keyboard setup they have already configured to suit them, and they can mask problems rather than fix them.

We would rather build the site so it works with the tools you already use.

Third party content

Some parts of this site rely on services we do not control, such as web fonts and analytics. We chose them to keep the site fast and simple, and the site remains usable if they fail to load.
