History

Established in 1956.

As we look back at this history of our business, providing over 50 years of Bay Area Pest Control service, we take a look at where we began.

Phil Olavarri, one of our company founders, was a pilot in the European theater in World War II. He and thousands of other servicemen came to know well the slogan of the war — «Kilroy Was Here» as it was drawn by Americans upon convenient surfaces across Europe (early graffiti). When Phil and his wife, Norma, were looking for a name for their new business in 1956, they realized the little man looking over the fence proclaiming «Kilroy Was Here» was a popular figure.

So they added another «L» to the name (since kill-​ing bugs was the business) and they were on their way to soon becoming one of the pest control leaders in our valley.
