Family Owned and Operated since 2001
Erie Pest Control was founded in 2001 by Doug and Kelly Welser. It remains to this day a locally owned and operated business whose primary concern is servicing the people of Erie and keeping their homes, businesses, and family members safe from the ill effects caused by insects and rodents.
Erie Pest Control provides pest control services to both residential and commercial properties. Customer service is our number one priority, and we prove that every day with our current customers. We pride ourselves in the fact that we do not stop until we solve the problems faced by our clients, and we educate the client on how to be proactive when it comes to pest control.
