A-Advance Pest Control Company

01/19/2025

Good evening everyone! I haven't been on Facebook much these days but didn't realize that the last time I posted on my A-Advance Pest Control site was in 2022! Almost 3 years ago! I am still working hard to take care of my customers the best that I can. I am working alone most of the time so I can get behind rather quickly during my busy season, March through November. Pretty slow this time of year but I am still doing what I can. Real Estate Pest Inspections, Cockroaches, and several Bedbug treatments. I am still working hard to keep my prices down to where everyone can afford it. Pest control should be an option, not a luxury. Prices on everything are slowly going up and making it difficult. I have been working this company since 1984. Has been in the family for a lot longer than that. So give me a call if I can help you out with your pest control needs. Thanks, Steve Campbell Owner/Operator and State Certified and Licensed. Have an extremely blessed 2025 and beyond. God Bless

FYI: Want to let everyone know that I am having issues when trying to return phone calls. My Frontier land line is not letting me call out to most cellphones which is 90% of my calls. My building is metal and I have little to no reception with my cellphone depending on where in my building I am so I can only return calls in my parking lot on my cellphone. Very very inconvenient!!! I hear that I am not the only place with this issue so hope that Frontier gets the problem fixed very soon. I have been very covered up and my list of calls to return is getting very long. Have been doing a lot of out of town work so not a lot of time to return calls. Have about 50 calls to return at the moment and at 10 to 15 minutes per call, it is going to take awhile to get to everyone. Sorry and I will get ahold of you as soon as I can. Thanks for understanding.

Update: Have been working 60 to 70 hour weeks trying to keep up on general pest work and slowly getting my spring termite bait station checks completed. Also doing 1 or 2 termite jobs per week to try to get them done. Have a little over 20 left to do at the moment. My current schedule is booked up for about 3 weeks out with only a few slots left in between some jobs. Trying to return calls as quickly as possible but having been doing a lot of out of town work and not getting back in office till 7 or 8 pm and don't like to return calls that late. So please be patient and please be sure to leave a phone number. If I don't return your call in 2 or 3 days then please call again. Thanks and hope everyone has an awesome and very blessed weekend!!

Thank you to all my customers that have been patient with me the last few weeks with dad's bad health and then his passing and services. I am playing catchup now and working 10 to 12 hour days to get as much done as possible. I am booking 10 to 21 days out now and setting aside days to get caught up on termite bait station checks and the termite jobs that need done. Working down both lists as quick as possible. Also doing a few annual inspections when I can. Still trying to stay caught up on general pest work as well. Just not enough hours in a week.

Haven't posted in awhile so I wanted to let everyone know what is going on. I am working the business alone now as Dad's health has declined and the cost of hiring any help, fuel and materials has made it impossible to hire any help. I plan to keep working the business as usual but it may take me longer to get some jobs done as I will try to prioritize work by urgency. I value all my customers and will do my best to try to stay as caught up as possible. I hope that you will work with me so that I can continue to give you and everyone else the quality of service at a reasonable price that I have built my business on. Thank you for allowing me to serve you and I will continue to provide that service. God Bless and may this rain eventually stop so I can really get busy!!

Proudly sponsoring Noah Campbell, Student Loans Pulling Team in his Second Semester Tractor! Watched him Friday night at the Edgar County Fair with an awesome pull to a 3rd place finish in a large field of tractors!

We can’t promise a thing other than the tractor is going to run DIFFERENT 😉 tomorrow night. Paris, IL. 6:30 PM! This is also a great moment for us to plug our sponsor this year Steve Campbell with A-Advance Pest Control Company. He’s done work for us for years. And always has gotten the bugs away from our houses. He does great work for all of your commercial and residential property. Be proactive! Keeping the bugs out is easier than getting them out once they are in!

Bedbugs! Finished my 56 hour 5 day week at almost 9pm doing a bedbug treatment. One of the worst I have seen and I have done quite a few the last 5 years. I am so glad it is Friday. Though I really need to do a few Realty Inspections over the weekend maybe. 🙂 I am getting to old for these busy season work weeks. Probably 50 to 60 hour weeks till about October or so. Keeping the bills paid and working on my Dream Home/Shop build. I am very blessed with very loyal customers that are sometimes willing to wait for me to get to them. So thankful for that. God Bless and have a great weekend!

Ants are invading, termites are swarming, spiders are moving inside and even some fleas are showing up for the party! That means 10 to 12 hour days have started. Doing what I can to try to stay as close to caught up as possible. Phone messages are starting to pile up a little bit so if you have left a message, please give me a couple of days to get back with you. I try not to return to many calls after 8 or 9 pm which is when I have been getting back for the day oftentimes. Pretty much on a work, eat, shower, sleep, repeat routine at the moment. Real Estate market is doing really well as well so that adds to the workload to! Could really use another employee but costs of everything have went up so that is just not in the budget anymore so jobs take a little longer by myself. Not going to sacrifice quality for quantity so I hope you will bear with me and I will do my best to get to everyone as quick as I can. I have a really awesome customer base and have done little to no advertising the last several years and always have more work than I can get done every year. I am very blessed!! Everyone have a great year and stay safe and we will hopefully get back to enjoying all the activities and people that we love and care about. God Bless
