History

Gene Higginbotham founded American Pest Control in November 1971 after many years in the pest control industry. With wisdom and experience he built a company that was focused on putting our customers first in all we do. Hiring, serving, and giving locally has set us apart from the rest for the last 50 years.

Today, 2nd generation, Laurie Higginbotham, CEO along with her brother Scott, 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 Northeast Georgia's largest family-owned pest control companies.
