Quality

Where we came from

Horne’s Pest Control was started in 1966 by Don and Joye Horne and is now owned by their son David. It owes its success to its simple motto: Treat every home like it were your own and every customer like he were your friend.

Today with over 30 employees and 25 trucks we are large enough to provide you with the security and protection you desire but small enough to give you the customer service you deserve.

Safety & Training Classes

At Horne’s we believe it is not just the potency of the product but also the aptitude of the applicator. We are committed to the continuous training of our termite and pest control technicians. We enroll them in numerous schools including:

Clemson University’s Termite School
University of Georgia’s Structural Pest Control Training Program
Clemson University’s Pest Control School
Purdue University’s Termites and Other Wood Destroying Organisms Correspondence Program

In addition, we have manufacturer’s representatives come to our office and give classes on their products. These manufacturers include the makers of products such as Termidor, Exterra, Premise, Boracare, Talstar and others. This training is not limited to the manager or salespeople. It is given to the technicians – the individuals who actually apply insecticide in and around your home.

All of this training says nothing about our other courses and safety meetings which include:

In addition to the above we also require our staff attend Driver safety training courses taught by Georgia State Patrol Accredited instructors as well as Work Place Safety courses taught by Occupational Safety personnel from the local hospital.
