About American Pest Control
Since opening our doors in November 1971, American Pest Control has proudly served the Southeast from our home office in Athens and our eight additional Georgia office locations in Winder, Washington, Lake Oconee/Greensboro, Social Circle, Conyers, Toccoa, Clayton, and Hartwell, as well as our office in Franklin, North Carolina.
A History of Customer-Focused Pest Solutions
Gene Higginbotham founded American Pest Control after many years in the pest control industry. With wisdom and experience, he focused on always putting customers at the center of everything we do, prioritizing integrity, honesty, and professionalism. We hire, serve, and give locally – a principle that has set us apart for the past 50 years. We pride ourselves on being an active part of the communities we serve, helping our friends, family, and neighbors make the areas we serve in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina a wonderful, pest-free place to call home.
Today, CEO Laurie Higginbotham, her brother Scott, and the entire American Pest Control team continue the mission their father started 50 years ago with those same core values. Great customer service paired with up-to-date and efficient pest control technology has provided American Pest Control with the tools to thrive as one of the region’s largest family-owned pest control companies.
