Our Journey

Fox Pest Control was founded by Mike, and grew to be the 12th largest pest control company in the United States before being acquired by a $3 billion company in what was the fourth largest transaction in industry history with the highest multiple ever paid.

Fox was ranked #1807 on the Inc 5000 fastest growing companies in America in 2022 and made the list again the next year, a rare achievement. Garnishing a spot on Utah’s Fast 50 list of highest growth companies in 2022, Fox’s exponential growth can be attributed to the strong values and deeply embedded culture of teaching true principles of leadership and personal development to its over 1500 team members and sales representatives.
