Eric Littlejohn - Founder, Associate Certified Entomologist
I started Pest Proof in April 2014 with a simple operating rule: we show up, we inspect, we educate, and the customer decides. Twelve years and twelve trucks later, that is still how this company runs. The national franchises sell you a contract over the phone before they ever see your property. We don't operate that way. A real inspector comes to your home or your job site, walks the perimeter, looks at the entry points, the moisture, the harborage, and the conditions around the structure - then explains what is going on in language that respects your intelligence. After that, you decide what makes sense for you. Sometimes that is a recurring plan. Sometimes it is a single treatment. Sometimes it is no treatment at all and a check-in in thirty days. We are fine with every one of those answers.
The other thing to know about how we work: we approach pest and wildlife problems the way a structural inspector would, not the way a salesperson would. Ants, termites, mosquitoes, mice, raccoons, birds - every one of these has a root cause in the building, the surrounding yard, or the conditions around the structure. We focus on the structure first and the treatment second. That is why I trained as an Associate Certified Entomologist, why our technicians are also trained in attic insulation, crawl-space sealing, and exclusion repair, and why so many of our customers stay with us for years instead of shopping their contract every spring. Pest Proof is a Black-owned business, a Virginia SWaM-certified Small and Minority-Owned Business (#717984), a 6-year Best of Prince William winner (2021-2026), and the company my family wakes up to every day. Thank you for considering us.

We show up. We inspect. We educate. You decide.
Pest and wildlife problems have root causes in the building, the surrounding yard, and the conditions around the structure. We work the structure first, the treatment second.
A trained inspector walks the property and identifies the entry points, the moisture sources, the harborage, and the conducive conditions. That happens before we recommend anything.
You get the inspection in plain language, with photos. You see what we see. We tell you what is urgent, what is preventable, and what is optional. No pressure tactics. No upsell scripts.
Recurring service, single treatment, structural exclusion work, or no treatment and a follow-up. We build the option set. You pick the one that matches your situation.
A real inspection takes time, training, and the perspective of someone who has worked thousands of properties. The national franchises offer the inspection free because, for them, the inspection is the sales pitch.
We do not operate that way. The inspection fee is reviewed with you when we confirm your appointment, and it is credited against treatment if you move forward. What you are paying for is independent judgment - the same reason you would pay for a structural engineer to walk a house before you buy it.

Eric and David are both very knowledgeable in pest and wildlife control. I finally found a company that actually does all of the work - the pest control as well as the remediation and repairs to stop the problem. Some companies will only put out bait stations but that doesn't solve the problem, only prolongs a symptom. They help to identify and fix the source of the problem. A holistic approach which I appreciate.
Excellent service. Very responsive and prompt. We had another provider but were pushed out when we requested rodent services. David came the same evening and hooked us up. Followed up a few days later and replaced used traps. Between the prompt, knowledgeable, affordable service - Pest Proof was certainly the way to go for our rodent and insect needs.
Technician was respectful, courteous, prompt, and efficient. Explained everything he was doing and what he had found. He put the new protective guard over the existing one to provide double protection from birds nesting in the exhaust vent, something I would not have thought of. Overall, I give Pest Proof an A+. Will definitely use Pest Proof again and highly recommend.

Eric leads the company. Day-to-day, Pest Proof runs as a tight crew of licensed technicians, a service coordinator, and an office manager who keeps the schedule running on time. Everyone you talk to works inside this building, not in a call center two states away.
That is part of why our customers tell us their second appointment feels different from the first - same company, same crew, same memory of what was inspected last time.
Two locations, eight counties, one operating standard.
Schedule your inspection. We will come out, walk the property, explain what we find, and let you decide the path.
