History Of Frontline Pest Control
In 2003 Darren Kirkham and Darren Wright set out to fulfill the American Dream when they started Frontline Pest. They were a two man show: knocking doors seeking new customers, servicing homes, and handling calls. In 2004, they brought on Regan Wright who had proven himself to be someone who could help grow the business. Jason Pickett joined the team in 2005 and they went on to build 8 offices across 3 different states.
In 2008, Frontline owners fell in love with the DC Metro Area. They realized they had found a market and people worth establishing a permanent presence. They sold the 8 offices in 3 states, and set up offices in Maryland, Virginia, and Tennessee. Frontline has been servicing these markets for over a decade, and has added over 50 additional full-time employees. What began as a way to make money has become a business that focuses on people. This company strives to never sacrifice quality at the expense of growth. With a strong focus on people and quality, Frontline has become a premier provider of pest control services within its respective markets.
About Our Technicians
Quality of service means everything for us at Frontline. There is no use in hiring a pest company, regardless of price or promotion, if they don’t actually control the issues you are having. This is where we take great pride in our work. All of our technicians get licensed/registered with the state in which they work to effectively apply our products. They receive weekly instruction from John, our certified entomologist, and are all only a phone call away to receive further instructions. Once a month, we also have guest speakers come address our technicians. These are professionals in the field who contribute to our technicians’ education in order to increase their skills.
On an annual basis, we hold a day-long re-certification class for all of our technicians company-wide. Leading experts on various pests are flown in to address our technicians only. People such as Dr. Dini Miller (Virginia Tech Dept. of Entomology), Dr. Karen Vale (University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture), and Dr. Michael Potter (University of Kentucky Dept. of Entomology) are recent speakers that we have had come address our group. This is a highlight every year and is something we will continue to do in order to constantly train and develop our technicians into true pest professionals.
