Company History

Founded in 1971, Paul's Pest Control is a family-owned business with offices in North Florida and South Georgia. We specialize in Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which means we treat for ALL pests using chemical and other methods such as sanitation, exclusion, biological, and harborage removal. Common pests in the North Florida/South Georgia region include: cockroaches, ants, silverfish, fleas, rats, mice and other invaders.

IPM combines:
- common sense practice
- knowledge of the life cycles of pests and their interaction with environment and
- the use of tools that have the least impact on people, property and environment.

Our mission is to provide a superior solution for every pest control and termite situation. We have a reputation for delivering the highest quality products and services at a competitive price.. At Paul's we also promote a safe and healthy environment for our employees, customers and the general public.

We offer pre-construction treatments, conventional termite post construction treatments and inspections for wood-destroying organizations. We have a successful track record in all treatment methods, including termite baiting and conventional barrier treatment.

Honesty and integrity are two of the most valuable traits you'll find at Paul's Pest Control. Our goal is to offer the best service, backed by the most generous guarantees in the business. Let us know how we can serve you.

A Tribute To Our Founder

W. Paul Nicholson, who founded Paul's Pest Control, received his bachelors in entomology from the University of Florida in 1958. He worked for Orkin Pest Control company for 12 years and founded his namesake company in 1971. With help from family and loyal employees, he built it up to one of the largest pest control operations in the capital region of Florida. He also established the colorful Nicholson Farmhouse Restaurant in Quincy, which is housed in a collection of old historical houses dating back to the 1800s.

A man of great integrity and quiet inspiration, Paul died tragically in an automobile accident in May, 1999. His legacy of community service and business ethics lives on through the family members, management and employees who continue to operate Paul's Pest Control.

In January 2001 the company was purchased by Blair H. Burton and Kent D. Edmunds.
