What We Do

Our mission is to promote Black ownership of pest control companies by providing financial guidance, business resources, employee development, mentorship and community support. Although ownership of a pest control business is a clear success metric, it is by no means the only measure. 

By viewing our mission through the lens of ownership, our strategies to meet these goals are to:

Mentorship

Identify current Black owners in the pest management industry and support their business growth through mentorship and access to resources.

Promotion

Identify potential future Black owners currently involved in the pest control industry and support upward mobility in their careers. We view this step as the catalyst for them to begin their path to ownership.

Outreach

Engage in outreach to the Black community at large to inform them of the critical role pest management plays in the lives of all people and discuss potential business ownership opportunities available in the field.
