PestStop Pest Control: A Family Tradition of Protecting Your Home & Business

At PestStop Pest Control, we’re a family-owned and operated company with a long history of satisfied customers. Since 1975, we’ve been safeguarding homes and businesses from unwanted pests in the Olympia area and beyond.

Our Legacy of Expertise
Our story began in 1956 with Chuck’s Great Uncle Joe, who embarked on a career in pest control. The industry was booming thanks to advancements in termite control and other innovative solutions. This passion for pest control trickled down through the generations. Chuck’s father, Quitman, joined the field in 1960, working alongside his uncle in California.

Chuck grew up surrounded by discussions about pest control, and by the age of 17, he was already a certified PCO (Pest Control Operator) – one of the youngest in California’s history. He started his journey working alongside his father, learning the ropes from the ground up.

Dedication to Effective Solutions
Throughout his career, Chuck has held various positions, from route technician to manager, always prioritizing the use of the most effective and reliable methods available. This dedication has resulted in countless satisfied customers over the years, both homeowners and businesses.

Committed to Growth and Service
In 2000, we streamlined our identity by changing our name to PestStop, reflecting our established web presence (PestStop.com). This change made it easier for our customers to find us. We’ve continued to expand our service area, now covering South King County all the way to Oregon.

In 2022, we joined the PestVets family, solidifying our commitment to giving back to our active and retired military service members.
