Here's a little history of how we got started in the pest control business. I started working for another pest control company, and later decided to start my own. My goal was to build a business that allowed me to spend more time with my family. That's how Encinco Pest Control was founded in 1991 in Pleasanton, Texas, where we lived for almost 20 years, and why we still serve so many customers in Atascosa County today.
In 2006, our family moved to San Antonio, whil continuing to serve more that 400 customers in Atascosa County. After settling in San Antonio, our business began to grow even more.
Up to this point, my wife Angie and I were managing all the work on our own. As the workload grew, and we got older, we decided to bring out oldest son, manny, into the business. Soon after, the workload increased even more, so we asked out daughter, Sarah, if she wanted to help with the family business. Her support made a huge difference because she was able to spend more time talking with our regular customers and potential new ones.
In December 2018, Manny became ill and was unable to work. He was sick throughout the year, and in July 2019, he passed away. This loss was a tremendous shock for our family. We
Later in 2019, our other son , Marc, approached me and asked if we planned to continue the business. His encouragement helped us move forward when I wasn't sure what to do next. Marc joined us in September, 2019, and with help, we were able to keep the business going.
