PHOENIX, Ariz. — Burns Pest Elimination celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2018.
During the past three and a half decades, Burns has evolved in order to keep up with customers’ wants and needs by making sure they are using the latest technology and products in pest elimination. Now serving the greater Phoenix area, Tucson and Las Vegas, Burns’ team of expert pest elimination specialists puts the community and customers first. Providing quality service begins with the longevity and loyalty of Burns Pest Elimination employees, several of whom have worked for Burns for decades.
“Celebrating 35 years of business is a huge milestone for my family and is nothing we could have ever imagined in 1983,” said Dave Burns, owner and founder. “We are a family-owned business and aim to treat our customers and employees like family – with loyalty and appreciation. I believe it is because of these principles that we have continued to keep such quality employees and customers alike.”
The Burns Family began their business in October 1983 when Al Burns, in an effort to bring his family back together, traded his sales commission on a property for a 43-account pest control company with only one service truck. Al’s two sons, Dave and Danny, returned to Arizona to help run the business, and 35 years later, Burns Pest Elimination continues to grow with Dave and Danny serving as president and vice-president, respectively. Eight Burns family members remain involved in the company today with over 250 employees servicing Arizona and Nevada.
