Pest Control Excellence… that’s the Western way! Old Fashioned Care From Verne Peterson and Family!

History

Established in 1956.

Verne Peterson began his career in pest control working for his father, «Big Verne,» at Peterson Nursery and Pest Control in Ranger, Texas, when he was eight years old. In 1963 he packed up his family, moved to the Ft. Worth area, and soon came to work for Elmo and Ada Tucker, the family who started Western Exterminating in 1956. Mr. Tucker was a perfectionist at all he did, and that perfection carried over to providing top-​quality pest control. The training Verne received from Tucker was instrumental in the pest services Verne would provide and would continue to share with all future Western service applicators. Tucker sold the business to Verne in 1965, and over 50 years later, Verne and his team are still delivering top-​notch pest control.
