A family legacy built on science, integrity, and results. Serving Central Florida with the same commitment to excellence that has defined this brand for nearly four decades.
In 1988, Dr. Bernie L. Howell, PhD founded Pest Pro Services, LLC in South Florida with a simple but powerful idea: pest control should be grounded in science, not guesswork. As a credentialed expert in entomology and pest biology, Dr. Howell built his company on Integrated Pest Management principles , understanding the behavior, biology, and environmental factors of each pest before designing a treatment plan.
That approach set Pest Pro apart from day one. While competitors were spraying and hoping, Pest Pro was diagnosing and solving.
Daniel Rumsey has been part of the Pest Pro family since 1996. When the Orlando division's previous operator retired in 2017, Daniel stepped in to lead it , bringing nearly two decades of experience, hands-on training, and a deep commitment to the standards Dr. Howell established. In January 2020, Pest Pro LLC became fully independent, carrying forward the same science-backed approach, family values, and dedication to results.

Integrated Pest Management is the gold standard in professional pest control , and it's been the foundation of Pest Pro's approach since 1988. IPM doesn't mean avoiding chemicals. It means using them strategically, precisely, and only when necessary.
The IPM process begins with thorough inspection and identification. Different pests require fundamentally different approaches , a treatment that works for German roaches will do nothing for ghost ants. Getting the identification right is step one.
From there, we combine the most effective tools: targeted treatments, exclusion to prevent re-entry, habitat modification to eliminate conditions that attract pests, and monitoring to verify results. The outcome is better pest control with fewer treatments and less chemical exposure , better for your family and better for the environment.
Identify the pest, assess the severity, locate entry points and harborage areas.
Correct species identification determines the correct treatment approach.
Apply targeted, species-appropriate treatments to eliminate the population at the source.
Seal entry points, eliminate conditions that attract pests, schedule monitoring to prevent recurrence.
