Jim Vaive, president of Varment Guard, announced the acquisition of Starbuck Pest Control. Starbuck has been serving Northwest Ohio since 1948. “This was an important move, which now enables us to service residential and business customers throughout the entire state of Ohio,” he said.
Vaive added, “We felt the work ethic and culture of Starbuck was a perfect match with ours.”
Varment Guard currently has branch offices in the Ashland and Dayton/Springfield areas.
Varment Guard was started in Columbus by Jim and a partner in 1983. Starting with $25 and a pickup truck, the company now has a fleet of vehicles and more than 60 full-time employees. “It has been very satisfying to watch the company and its people grow over the years,” Vaive said.
Other divisions of Varment Guard include ProGuard Commercial Pest Solutions and ProGuard Bird Solutions.
