Not Your Average Pest Control Company

We took a few minutes to chat with John Reid, the owner of Accel Pest & Termite Control, to learn a little more about what makes them unique and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what sets Accel Pest & Termite Control apart from other pest control companies in Virginia. John shared with us that they’ve been in business for going on nine years now, and that they don’t believe in contracts; they prefer to earn their customers’ business instead.

Accel Pest & Termite Control has a team of very experienced technicians and career professionals that have stuck with them for a long time, and they make it a point to invest in their team because they know that having happy employees results in happy clients.

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Accel Pest & Termite Control and how they work to make the world a better place. John told us that they started Accel because they were unhappy with the current situation, and they had a strong passion and belief that they could do it better. They always strive to treat their employees better, which in turn, makes a positive impact on the clients they serve.

Building Success by Asking for Feedback

John credits Accel Pest & Termite Control’s strong online reputation to the fact that they always send out a service report and ask the client to leave a review after completing a job

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, John has grown Accel Pest & Termite Control by investing in internet marketing, including SEO, SEM, Google ads, Angie’s List and HomeAdvisor. Accel has also gotten their name out there through television ads and home shows, and they work with a company that handles their marketing for them.
