Family owned, community focused. Learn about the people behind your pest-free home.
A-1 Pest Control was founded in 2024 by Cody Pilkenton with a simple mission: provide honest, effective pest control services that put people first. What started as a one-man operation driven by a passion for helping neighbors has grown into Southwest Virginia's trusted pest management team.
Growing up in Southwest Virginia, Cody saw firsthand how pest problems could disrupt families and damage homes. He knew there had to be a better way — a service that combined professional expertise with genuine care for the community. That's why he founded A-1 Pest Control.
Today, we've helped over 500 happy customers across five counties, and we're just getting started. Every home we treat is a reminder of why we do this work: to protect the people and places that make this community special.
