I began my involvement with the pest control industry at the age of 14 by helping my father, who was one of the pioneers of the pest control industry, William Burgess who began his experience in 1938. After graduating high school in 1970, I entered college and graduated with a degree in Business Management from Williamsport Area Community College, and purchased the company in May1978 when he retired. As long-time members of both the PA and National Pest Management Associations, we have obtained extensive experience in commercial, industrial, institutional and residential areas. With extensive experience with state institutions, we became the only recipient of a special commendation from the PA Department of Welfare. With the addition of my son as operations manager in 2022, our company has been expanding at a rapid pace while upgrading our equipment and techniques with the newest technologies.
