HISTORY: Jack Olmstead and Hilary Ridgway Olmstead began Olmstead Pest Control in 1981 as a structural pest control company. The company was born at the same time as their first daughter, Carrie. In fact, the first spray rig was purchased on the day of her birth—the ultimate example of multi-tasking! 

With one truck, Olmstead Pest Control specialized in residential flea and ant control. But Olmstead Pest Control soon branched out into landscape pest control. Olmstead Pest Control became incorporated as Plant-Tek, Inc. in 1987. Along with the incorporation was the change in emphasis from structural & landscape pest control to a strictly landscape pest control company. 

Plant-Tek, Inc. now has a fleet of six state-of-the-art spray rig equipped trucks and a staff of six. Two of our trucks are specialized for weed control.

 

MISSION: Plant-Tek, Inc. strives to provide quality horticultural pest control services to our customers by using the most effective means and products available, the latest in pest control equipment and by hiring qualified technicians.
