About the company

Western Exterminator Company logo

Western Exterminator Company

For many people, a lot comes to mind when they think of Western Exterminator. Much as we love our yellow trucks and our Little Man logo, we hope the most important thing that comes to mind is our service. The best customer service for a fair price has been the foundation of our business since we first opened in 1921. In a business climate where change is constant, we're proud to still have the same values that have led to our growth and success for over 90 years. When we make a commitment, we stand behind it; we have a family reputation and tradition to uphold. It's part of our history, and our future. In a disposable world, longevity can sometimes seem a little old-fashioned. But at Western Exterminator Company, we believe that excellence will never go out of style and that treating people (and customers) the way you wish to be treated is the secret to success in business, and in life. This was the vision of our founder, Carl Strom, and continues as our mission today. We're also proud to offer the services of the most highly-trained professionals in the industry. Western's on-staff entomologists and pest control professionals are second to none. We offer fast service. Flexible scheduling. And the promise of 100% satisfaction. Guaranteed.
