Are you tired of national pest control brands that treat you like a number? Or maybe you are looking to enter a new and exciting trade. As a locally owned and operated company, we treat each employee as family. 1st Pest Control is on the leading edge of pest control technology and techniques.

Customer education is the most important thing 1st Pest Control offers. We are not simply looking to spray a chemical or apply a product and hope to solve a pest problem. Instead, we encourage excellent communication between our pest control specialists and our clients, so they understand why we are completing a treatment the way we are, or why preparation work is essential to eliminating a persistent pest infestation, etc. By educating our clientele, we are able to build relationships with our customers for years to come!
