EST. 1984 · MORTON, ILLINOIS · FAMILY-OWNED.

Why Central Illinois families have trusted us since 1984.

We’re not a franchise. We’re not a call center. We’re a family business — your neighbors — and the same technicians who live in these neighborhoods are the ones protecting your home. Forty years, one home at a time.

WHO WE ARE

A family fixture in Morton and Peoria since 1984.

What started as a small, family-owned operation has grown into a trusted name protecting thousands of homes and businesses across Peoria, Tazewell, and McLean counties — without ever losing what made us local.

Our certified technicians live and work in the same neighborhoods we serve. That means we understand the pest challenges that come with Central Illinois's river bluffs, older housing stock, and Midwest seasons — because they're ours too.

The kind of service you'd expect from a neighbor.
