History

Established in 2004.

I started Mr. Pack Rat in 2004 with 29 years of prior pest control experience. I began my career in 1975 working for the nation’s largest family-​owned pest control company.

I loved customer service and solving difficult pest problems, but was disappointed with the exterminating industry’s over-​reliance on pesticides and poisons to solve problems. I knew there was a better way. In 1997, with my wife, I started an alternative pest company, KSB Pest Prevention, focusing on prevention with minimal chemical application. The business was, by all accounts, very successful.

In 2001, I sold this business to the company I previously worked for with hopes of expanding our improved methods into the much larger organization. Unfortunately, my plans turned out to be overly idealistic. After three years, I knew I had to leave and create a company where I could maintain complete control on the methods and quality of service. Thus was born – Mr. Pack Rat.

Why Mr. Pack Rat?

* My passions: I love customer service, the outdoors and the challenge of solving difficult problems. I am a naturalist at heart.

* Need: Pack rats are a growing problem yet most companies treat the symptoms of the problem with ineffective and potentially dangerous techniques, ignoring the true underlying cause. There is a better way.

* Specialized: To do the job right you have to specialize. Trying to be all things – a termite, weed, bee, bird, commercial and general pest control company dilutes the experience and focus needed to do the job right.

My goal is to provide a specific service better than anyone else. I have spent countless hours personally removing thousands of pack rat nests. I have researched the libraries and internet for everything written on pack rats and pack rat related parasites like kissing bugs. I have experimented, refined and perfected techniques and equipment to do the job safely, efficiently, and effectively.
