The PestMaster Story

Explore the milestones of PestMaster's journey through our detailed timeline, showcasing our rich history and growth.

1979

Founded in Bishop, CA

PestMaster was established in 1979 in the small community of Bishop, California. Our early success was driven by a balanced approach to residential, commercial, local, state, and federal contracts. Our proven model laid the foundation for expansion and our journey to become a trusted, national brand.

1981

Awarded First
Government Contract

Our model was focused on three major areas of service: Pest Control, Vegetation Management and Health Related/ Vector Control, all of which are still the foundation of the company today.

1992

Awarded First
Franchise Territory

Our proven "turn-key" model provided a reliable roadmap for independent franchise operators. As we expanded our service capabilities and refined our core target markets, opportunities for geographic growth emerged. These opportunities laid the groundwork for a regional and eventually national franchise system, marking the birth of PestMaster as a franchisor.

2011

Relocated HQ
To Reno, NV

In 2011 PestMaster relocated its headquarters to Reno, Nevada, where it is today.

2020

Acquired By
Threshold Brands

In September 2020, PestMaster joined a portfolio of home services offerings under the Threshold Brands umbrella, providing franchisees with shared services and expertise across multiple complementary franchise brands.

2022

Refreshed Brand DNA
And Identity

In late 2022 PestMaster refreshed its brand identity. By updating the logo, reiterating our core services and upgrading other key brand elements, we continue to improve upon our brand in order to stand out and remain competitive.
