Active Pest Solutions takes care of pest problems

When it comes to pest control, one family owned and operated business is quickly rising in the county.

Dedicated to customer service, the Active Pest Solutions has been serving the area since Rock Marshall began the practice in 2005. Marshall prides his business on being prompt and professional.

“We use only the latest and highest quality equipment available on the market today,” Marshall said.

The business treats homes for a wide variety of pest problems, including squirrels, carpenter ants, bed bugs, rodents, Asian beetles, stink bugs, skunks, bees, bats, birds and more.

Marshall, who worked in pest control before deciding to branch off and make his own business after the business he worked for moved to North Carolina.

“I saw a need for an affordable alternative to the chain stores and services,” he said.

While Marshall owns and operates the business, his wife and children help out. But as the business keeps growing, Marshall says they’ll look to expand in the future and hire more employees.

The business attracts customers in a variety of ways, Marshall said, but gathers most of its clients through word-of mouth thanks to the its service driven mission.

Many customers choose to employ Active Pest Solutions on a yearly or recurring basis, but Marshall says the business chooses not to lock those customers into contracts.

For new customers, the business will do an assessment and come up with a customized plan for the problem.

Service is all inclusive, no matter what is found at the property.

“A lot of times, say if the issue is carpenter ants, I will do a complete treatment for all ants, and continued service. They don’t have to worry about anything else,” Marshall said.

For larger pests, like squirrels and raccoons, the business will do a humane capture and release.

The business does both residential and commercial pest control. One of the bigger clients Marshall serves is the Pennsylvania College of Technology, a job he enjoys.

Every job is one that he treats with the utmost care and control.

“When I walk away, I know people are satisfied,” he said.

Marshall, who was born and raised in the county, enjoys working in the area.

“It’s an honor to work in Lycoming County,” he said. “The people here are amazing…and it’s definitely been a pleasure doing business here.”

Looking to the future, Marshall anticipates the growth trend he has seen to continue.

“In the coming years, I see hiring two or three more service technicians, and just for us to keep providing the same dependable service people have come to expect from Active Pest Solutions,” he said.

The business is currently working on developing its web presence and will soon be online at www.activepestsolutions.com
