company history about us David Dodd JrOur 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 pest control business- thus, Carolina Chemical and Pest Control was born. In 1951, David Dodd, Jr. assumed full time management responsibilities of the company, moving the company headquarters to Monroe, NC, where the company is still located today and remains Union County’s leading pest control service. The name of the company was changed in 1982 from Carolina Chemical and Pest Control to Carolina Termite and Pest Control, Inc. in order to reflect changing technology and an approach that is less dependent upon chemical methods of pest control.

company-history-AboutUsDavid Dodd, III succeeded his father and now serves as CEO, representing the third generation of family management. The company expanded operations in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties and is recognized as one of the top pest control companies in this 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 ownership with Kristin Dodd as President and Sarah Dodd as Vice President, alongside David Craig as General Manager (27 years with 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. A second pest control company operating in Wadesboro, NC was acquired by Carolina Pest in 2008 and integrated into the Monroe and Rockingham branch offices.
