Schendel Pest Control Coupons

Schendel Pest Services was founded in 1947 by Bob Schendel, a Kansas native who served as an entomologist for the U.S. Army at Fort Belvoir, Virginia during World War II. After the war, Mr. Schendel started Schendel Pest Services in the garage of his home in Topeka and quickly built a respected pest control business throughout the state of Kansas. During those early years, Schendel specialized in servicing commercial accounts including Beatrice Foods (now ConAgra), Newman Hospital of Emporia, and completing FDA sanitary inspections at poultry processing companies throughout Northeastern Kansas. Schendel expanded in the mid-1950’s into Lawrence, Kansas and began servicing residential customers, as well. The company was incorporated in the state of Kansas in 1959, and Mr. Schendel ran the company until his retirement in 1979. Upon retiring, underscoring his strong belief in giving back to his employees, Mr. Schendel offered his branch managers the opportunity to purchase their operations as a thank you for their years of service. The Topeka branch was purchased by Paul Mages and the Lawrence office was acquired by his brother-in-law Jon Isaacs. They merged the two companies, creating the current Schendel Pest Services corporation, and continued Mr. Schendel’s focus on providing excellent customer service backed with entomologist-administered pest control programs. The brothers retired in 2006 and 2003, respectively, and were able to keep the business in the family by passing the leadership along to President Brent Boles, a long-time manager and the son-in-law of former owner Paul Mages. Today, Schendel Pest Services offers commercial and residential services throughout five states, and is proud to maintain its corporate office in Topeka, Kansas. The company also still uses the slogan “Schendelize ‘em” which was popularized by the Schendel family during the 1960’s. In 2008, Schendel was ranked number 53 on PCT Magazine’s top 100 pest management companies. Schendel provides a full range of pest management services, including insect, termite and pest bird control as well as fumigation, weed control and bioremediation services.
