Our company opened its doors in 2001. From 2001 to 2005, Aachren's focus was primarily Termite and Pest Control services. From 2005-2010, the owner, Charylane Chavez-Phillips instituted many leading edge programs and technologies in to the company, a lot of the influence came from her active membership in the Tidewater Pest Control Association where she currently serves on the Board of Directors.In 2011, Ms. Phillips brought Al Neely on as co- owner of the company. Since then, Aachren has expanded to twelve employees with a cutting edge pest control department where the focus is on rodent control and mosquitoes. In 2012, because of the changes within the industry and the environment, Aachren has really put a focus on Integrated Pest Management where we focus on exclusions and sanitation. We are looking forward in 2012 to growing and increasing our commercial influence in Hampton Roads.
