Broken Arrow Pest Control began in 1976 being founded by Ken & Marian Shank who became Texans after Ken served our country in the Army in WWII. Following a career in the insurance industry, being transferred all around Texas, they retired to the Onalaska area. Needing something to keep them active, they started our company. Soon after their son, Karl, began helping out in the business after serving in the Air Force. In the early 1990's Karl and wife Jan took ownership of the company and operate it still today.

People often blame a cockroach problem on poor housekeeping. While cleaning floors, kitchens, and bathrooms can sometimes be helpful, there are many other reasons why they come indoors and become established.

While cockroaches are one of the most common pest problems, they can also be one of the most stubborn and may require our help to get them under control.

When you walk through an area where they have been traveling you will pickup fleas and can carry them into your home or office. Vacuuming can remove thousands of the larvae and flea eggs from the floors in your home, as well as the larvae's food supply of dried blood. Prior to treatment we request that you vacuum all the floor coverings including under furniture, cushions, chairs and pet beds.
