I entered the pest control industry shortly after my transition from the Marine Corps in 2016.
Being the “bug guy” was originally just a job i took on Craigslist because I needed money. As time went on i fell in love with what I did and the role I played in society. I’ve been in multiple roles through the industry. Management, sales, but ultimately every technician’s job starts with a good inspection, to find the root of the infestation.
I became intrigued to discover the biggest infestation to be in the pest control industry itself, and the negative reputation it had gained. I’ve witnessed large corporations prioritizing profits, over quality of service. I’ve witnessed door to door companies recklessly hiring inexperienced & unlicensed technicians. I’ve witnessed unethical decisions such as the distribution of inferior and subpar products (knowing it wasn’t their best work).
Personally, I value ethical standards in business. I have always struggled to work for companies that don’t hold themselves to a high standard.
In observing this infestation, I acquired the best equipment the industry has to offer, dedicated 7 years of my life mastering the latest industry techniques, and also utilized my GI bill for business courses. Blending everything I’ve learned in the industry with my experience from the Marine Corps,
I founded Kilo Sierra Pest Solutions, a veteran-owned and operated company.
I plan to make Kilo Sierra Pest Solutions a leader in environmental stewardship and attention to detail. My vision is to make a new standard for quality of service within the industry. I will be talking more about this in future posts.
I am passionate about this endeavor and am looking forward to sharing this experience with you.
I am grateful for my family and friends for helping me make this dream a reality.
