Our company was founded in 1939 by David Dodd, Sr., a retired Methodist Minister. Rev. Dodd became involved in the pest control business by helping his fellow man. Times had been hard in the 1930’s and a man from up north was passing through looking for work to feed his family. He called upon Rev. Dodd for help and since he had been trained in pest control, Rev. Dodd suggested they open a business in the industry. Thus, Carolina Chemical and Pest Control had its beginning.
In 1951, David Dodd, Jr. assumed full-time management responsibilities of the company, moving the company headquarters to Monroe where the company is still located today and remains Union County’s leading pest control service provider. The name of the company was changed in 1982 to Carolina Termite and Pest Control, Inc. in order to reflect changing technologies that are less dependent upon chemical methods of pest control.
David Dodd, III succeeded his father and now serves as CEO, representing the third generation of family management. The company expanded operations into Mecklenburg and surrounding counties and is currently recognized as one of the top pest control companies in the area. In 1999, the company changed its name to Carolina Pest Management, Inc. to again reflect current changes in the pest control industry.
The company is now in its 4th generation of family management with Kristin Dodd-Tarleton as President and Sarah Dodd as Office Manager, as well as David Craig as General Manager (over 25 years with the company) and Phillip Parker as Manager of the Termite Department (over 20 years with the company). In 2003, Carolina Pest purchased an existing pest control company and opened its first branch office in Rockingham, NC, operating as Carolina Sandhills Pest Management. In 2009, Carolina Pest purchased Providence Pest Solutions, with former owner Chuck Davis joining the Carolina Pest team.

Best in Pest Control
Pest control is a vital part of home maintenance. Your home is your most valuable asset and most prized possession. With proper maintenance, your home can serve many lifetimes, from your own to your grandchildren and beyond. Just as you would never allow a leaking roof or failing foundation to threaten the safety or quality of your home, you should never allow nature’s smaller creatures to thrive unchecked at your home’s expense. Adopting a preventive pest control strategy will help ensure the viability of your home for generations to come.
At Carolina Pest Management, we understand the role pest control plays in protecting your residence. That is why we offer a wide variety of pest control treatments, customized to your home and your family’s needs. Whether it is a traditional pest control program or a low toxicity, environmentally friendly pest control strategy, we will work with you to design a program that not only protects your home, but gives you peace of mind knowing that your family and pets are able to enjoy all that your home has to offer.
Preventive pest control is an essential part of your overall home maintenance. Repairing damage done to your home by colonies and swarms of insects can be much more costly than keeping them out of your home in the first place.
