The family behind the pixel bug.

Zero Pest is owned and run by Ryan and Alex, two St. Louis guys who knew pest control could be done better.

ORIGIN STORY

Built to be the opposite of the big guys.

We watched national chains send a new entry-level tech every visit, lock people into 12-month contracts and route every call to a call center.

So we built the company we'd want at our own families' homes. Licensed techs, a small team you get to know, real people on the phone, and no contracts.

Zero Pest is locally owned by Ryan and Alex. We're not a franchise, and we're not affiliated with other companies that use a similar name.

OVERQUALIFIED ON PURPOSE

Every tech is fully licensed.

Never a trainee. Every Zero Pest tech has passed Missouri's applicator exams and had real on-the-job training.

What does that mean?
The person at your door is a trained expert. In Missouri, a company can send out techs on a basic technician license, which takes very little training, as long as one manager holds the full license. Many companies do. Every Zero Pest tech holds the full state license: exams passed and real on-the-job training. Ask us for license numbers anytime.

GIVING BACK

The Sleep Tight Fund.

Every few months we get a call we can't forget. Usually it's an older neighbor on a fixed income who has been living with bed bugs for months, because treatment costs more than they have.

So we started a fund. Friends, family and customers chip in, and when someone who qualifies calls, the fund covers their bed bug treatment.

Zero Pest is a local business, not a registered charity, so gifts to the fund aren't tax-deductible. Every dollar goes to bed bug treatment for a St. Louis neighbor in need, and we keep every family's name private.

HOW IT WORKS
  1. 1

    You chip in

    Any amount. It all goes into the fund.

  2. 2

    A neighbor reaches out

    We hear from 1 to 3 households a quarter who can't afford treatment. If they qualify, the fund covers it.

  3. 3

    We treat and follow up

    Same licensed team and the same follow-up visits as any paying customer.
