Animal Pest Management Services, Inc. (APM) has established itself as the largest independent, locally owned pest management company in Southern California. Founded in 1982 as Agricultural Pest Control Services, Inc., the company transitioned into its current name in 1991 to reflect its focus on vertebrate pest management in urban settings, moving away from agriculture. For over 35 years, APM has been dedicated to addressing and solving animal and insect pest issues that can disrupt the quality of life for residents and stakeholders across Southern California.
APM offers services to a diverse customer base, including federal and state agencies, municipalities, parks, schools, and private enterprises such as businesses and homeowner associations. Their commitment to sustainable and humane pest management is evident through their implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which emphasizes the use of minimal pesticides and prioritizes ecological safety.
The company prides itself on its expertise, led by a University graduate with a major in Biology and an emphasis on Animal Damage Management. All technicians are state-certified Pesticide Applicators, receiving extensive in-house training in pest identification, damage recognition, and effective management methods.
With a corporate office in Chino, California, APM manages a robust workforce, including eight dedicated office staff responsible for handling service requests efficiently. Their operational capacity includes a fleet of service vehicles and a reliable emergency response system, ensuring assistance is available seven days a week.
Animal Pest Management Services, Inc. continues to be a cornerstone in protecting communities from urban pest problems, actively developing programs that are effective, ecologically sound, and humane. Their approach not only involves immediate pest control but also preventive measures to mitigate future infestations.
