Pestmaster Services was founded by Jeff Van Diepen in 1979 in the small community of Bishop California. The high level of success in the early years with a balanced business approach that included residential, commercial, local, state and federal contracts, it became Jeff’s mission to grow the company to become a national brand using his proven model of success. This 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. It became clear that service capability expansion and narrowing core target markets were successful for the small town start-up and geographic expansion opportunities began presenting themselves. Such opportunities created the foundation that would support a regional, then national franchise system and Pestmaster Services was born. Our historically successful “turn-key” model of success was the perfect road map and just what the independent franchise operators could count on.
