Beebe's Pest Control
& Bee Service has been doing business since 1989, starting out
with one very well used truck and one customer at a time. We
have been able to build our business to several thousand happy
customers with a very nice fleet of modern vehicles and
equipment. We have recently purchased a larger facility in
order to serve our customers even more efficiently and
effectively. We are growing and want our customers to grow with
us.
Our Mission is to
raise the quality of life for our customers through the proper
use of safe and effective methods of pest control, while
continuing the service of excellence that has brought our
company to this level of service. We will be duplicating our
services to other customers by expanding our facility in the
future to areas that are not being serviced by us now. We will
also expand to provide other services
not covered by the majority of pest control companies to better
serve our customers.

Gone are the days when an
exterminator in a white mask shows up at a home or business with
his can of stinky pesticide and sprays every crack and crevice,
nook and cranny. Today’s exterminators, who prefer to go by pest
control technicians, wear respirators, know entomology, and use
more targeted and environmentally friendly ways to do in the
bugs. These days, it’s all about integrated pest management.
Chemicals still are part of the arsenal, but so are nontoxic
tricks, such as baiting, removal and exclusion, which don’t kill,
but keep them out. Technicians even use heat and microwaves to
zap bugs.
Like many of the critters that are targeted, pest control
companies are survivors. We have pulled through image problems,
regulations, even recessions. It is a need and service industry.
The upside for exterminators is people have become less tolerant
of insects because more health problems are being linked to
them. Cockroach droppings have been found to cause childhood
asthma. Bee and scorpion stings can be deadly, especially to the
young or the allergic. Just about everyone is worried about
mosquitoes that carry the West Nile Virus, even though there are
many other carriers of this disease, which we can also
eliminate.
The changing nature of the bug-killing business has made it
tougher to find workers because the job requires more
specialized skills. Any exterminator in Arizona for example, who
uses pesticides, must pass a test to become a certified
technician, and it is not a free test. Crawling around in dark
and dirty places hunting for bugs isn’t a glamorous job.
