Pest Control Katy, Texas

Welcome to our initial posting to Katy PestScription. The purpose of this medium is to provide timely notification of predictable pest infestations in the greater Katy area as well as confirmed sightings of not-so-predictable pest problems in homes or businesses, lawns, ornamental plants or trees, and noxious weeds. Along with problem identification I will suggest appropriate prevention and control measures, including services available from JNJ Pest Control and Grounds Care, Inc.

We have been in the pest control industry since 1979, when my Uncle Harold Garrett and his wife LaJoy, who were very successful in the pest control industry in Dallas, recognized my disinterest in accountancy where I was floundering. Uncle Harold took me under his wing and mentored me into a full-fledged pest control operator and now an Associate Certified Entomologist. I understand what metamorphosis means and have picked up interesting tidbits about the pest world which I will periodically relay.

Also, I wish to thank my business partner and loving wife of 36 years, Nancy, for putting up with my antics, especially during those years I felt compelled to get involved with the Greater Houston Pest Control Association, Katy Chamber of Commerce, Katy BNI club, and the Katy Rotary Club by taking administrative positions in these organizations. Nancy was understanding and handled important company business matters that were my responsibility while I was occupied with organization concerns. She also has promised to edit all postings before I shame myself with grammatical errors

What Nancy and I have enjoyed most about this industry are the business friendships we have nurtured through the years. More lives have been lost to illnesses caused by insect transmission than any other cause, and there are some great people who have dedicated their careers to entomology, the study of insects, and other sciences to make all our lives safer and more enjoyable. We will interview some of these professionals of pest control and give you some insight into the industry.

I hope you will subscribe to our blog and that we will keep your interest with our periodic postings
