At the time, I was working in retail, and when I tell you I didn’t like going to work, I’m not kidding. I couldn’t move around. I wanted to be outside. I wanted to do more.

When I gave my notice, I had no idea what was next, but I knew for sure I was done with retail. An ad in the paper landed me an interview with a national pest control company, and before I knew it, I was in a truck driving around helping people.

It felt right in the beginning. For eight years, I worked for that company, and I learned the business from the inside out. I also fell in love with the office manager. Soon, we got married and started a family, but something was missing.

We were both grateful for our jobs, but we were both uncomfortable with how they did business. They tortured customers with high-pressure sales tactics that made us both cringe.

When it came to quality, there was none. My wife can tell you better than me on that one because she got stuck with so many calls from unhappy customers.

We knew we couldn’t fix that company, so we decided to start our own. For years, we saved our pennies and took as much overtime as we could get until we were ready.

Three years ago, we started Rat King, and we’ve been growing ever since then. Our strategy is simple: we made a list of all the bad things that big companies did and made a promise to ourselves that we’d never do those things to our customers.

We use the best products, talk to you in plain English, and work for a fair price. Plus, no salespeople. That’s working for us, and we’re expanding just like our family is. 

Come see why our customers keep coming back, and San Antonio has a new king.

Sincerely,
