About American Pest Control
![]() Doug Wade |
OWNER - INSPECTOR Ahh, man and dog...a beautiful thing to behold. Doug has 26 years of experience in pest control, termite, and bedbug control. He recently added bedbug dog handling to his skills at 61. You can teach old dog new tricks! Between what Doug knows and what Suzy can smell, there ain't much that gets missed. Doug is the patriarch, he started it all. Preserving our good name is a family value and he is active in the field every day, working tirelessly at doing just that. Accessible, and strongly connected to everything that happens at APC, he is the voice of reason and where the buck stops. He is the devoted husband of Becky, also known as "Pops" and "Pop-pop" ( by his 2 grandchildren) and when not at work, after his 10 and 12 hour days, he is a serious couch potato with Suzy by his side. |

OFFICE & SERVICE MANAGER:
"Talking to our customers is still the most important activity of my day. My goal is smooth internal processes so that pest control is one of the easy painless things in our customers' lives." Because we are a small company, we can make changes and utilize cutting edge technology in a very fluid manner. My specialties are bedbugs and roaches. I am Doug's wife, Brian & Deana's mother and a proud grandma |

INSPECTOR/CORPORATE OFFICER: "Solving pest problems still excites me; each home is a mystery to be unraveled. Whether its bedbugs, rodents, roaches, termites, ants or someone's mystery bug, knowing I have the skills and 16 years of experience to figure it out, give relevant information and propose a solution is a source of pride for me." Devoted husband, musician, rock climber, novice mixed martial artist, vegan and bon vivant...yes a vegan pest guy; ask me, I'll explain. |

CUSTOMER SERVICE SPECIALIST & ACCOUNTING CLERK: Being a member of the family makes giving you great service a matter of personal pride. Even though she is the bean counter she doesn't believe in cutting any corners to give the best service. Always concerned that we are giving the best value. Currently the mommie of two miniature dachshunds who are the office dogs during the day and go home at night. |
![]() Steve Hauck |
In Remembrance of Steve Steve proudly served American Pest Control and all of those clients who had the pleasure of dealing with him for 8 years. Our office will never be quite the same without his smiling, honest face and we are better for having known him. Blessings upon he and his family for all time. |
![]() Stephanie Caul |
LEAD TECHNICIAN and BEDBUG EXPERT Stephanie has long history with American Pest Control working up through the ranks. She has been and continues to be well loved by clients for her endearing manner and seemingly effortless results. You could miss the expertise because she is so quick but when Stephanie comes to solve a problem, it's usually gets fixed and stays fixed. She just knows her stuff and passes it on to the many employees she trains and gets ready for the field. |
![]() Alex (aka Puppy) |
BEDBUG and TERMITE TECHNICIAN Alex started with us as a monitor checker and persistently volunteered to assist in bedbug treatments. His dogged determination to be useful has endeared him to his co-workers and steadily increased his skill-set. He liked the hard work and knowing that he was killing the bedbugs. He is 6 foot 6 and terrified of bedbugs, so he takes it out on them by doing a bang up job of getting rid of them. Loves to spend time with friends and is one of the top dart-shooters in the area. |
![]() Keith Wims |
ANNUAL TERMITE RENEWAL INSPECTOR I am well aware that homeowners are counting on me to observe any tell-tale signs of termites at their home and I take the responsibility very seriously. |
![]() William Moore |
PEST CONTROL TECHNICIAN Will started with us as a monitor checker for our termite programs. When he was done with his own work, he cheerfully volunteered to help other technicians and began picking up valuable skills. His eagerness and aptitude were recognized and he was a natural to train for this important role at APC. |
![]() Jason |
PEST MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL Jason is a good problem solver; he doesn't just go through the motions but looks at your home to find out why the pest is there, where it is coming from, and how he can make sure that it does not return. He approaches pest control like a video game, as he is an avid gamer, and the bugs are the enemies that must be destroyed...he does not consider failure an option. |
![]() Ray |
PEST MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL Ray spent two years with APC, previously, and went out to explore the world, then came back to us in 2008. Since returning he has added more skills and become even more versatile; the customers on his route are usually blissfully quiet, because he keeps them happy. Devoted Raven's fan...you can see him flying their colors from his gold Suburban all year round. |
![]() Suzanne |
PEST MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL Suzanne has been with American Pest Control since 2006. She is Brian's wife and initially started "just to help out" when we were short-staffed, but it turned out that she was really good at it. "She is a gentle, animal-loving person at heart and cares, deeply, about the environment so she approaches her job with all of this in mind; applying the least toxic, most humane and lowest impact applications to control a pest issue. Pest control is a necessity in our cities and suburbs, for public health, and what better way to make sure it's done responsibly, than to affect the change herself...from the inside." |
![]() Jessica |
CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE I have been blessed in finding this job; it was happenstance that, while talking to my friend Brian (McQuaid) that my complaining about my job coincided with their looking for a new person. He told me that he couldn't guarantee anything more than an interview but that he thought I would be a perfect fit and, as it turns out, I am! Jessica is, quite possibly, the most sincere and caring person we've ever met and that translates in her work...with her co-workers and each and every person on the phone. Jessica's hobby is her family, with 3 boys between 8 and 11, a teenage girl, two dogs, one cat, 21 chickens and a frog; every minute is filled. |
![]() Shala |
CUSTOMER SERVICE Little did she know that bugs could be so interesting and complex. Shala made it a point of learning as much about pests and the treatments as she could so she actually HELP people who call us instead of just taking a message. She has now enlarged her role, pitching in for bedbug treatments and inspections. With 4 years experience she knows the answers to your questions and can speak with authority. She really knows her stuff. Her hobby and passion is horses. She will take any opportunity to be around them. Dedicated mom of 3 children , ages 7 to 13 with one dog. If it were possible there would be another very large dog in the chow family and horses. |
