Our Story: Family-Owned Pest Control in WNC
Protecting Western North Carolina homes and businesses, one neighbor at a time.
The Stephenson Story
Stephenson Pest Control was built on a simple idea: that the people of Western North Carolina deserve honest, dependable pest control from a company that actually knows them. Owner Mark Stephenson brings over 35 years of pest control experience to that mission, including national-level training, which he's spent the decades since putting to work for a local, family-run company right here in the mountains.
Over the years, we've grown the way a trusted local business should: through referrals, repeat customers, and a reputation for showing up and doing the job right. Today we protect homes, cabins, and businesses across six counties, but our approach hasn't changed. We treat every property like it belongs to a neighbor, because it usually does.
Family Owned and Locally Rooted
Being family owned isn't just a line for us. It's why the person treating your home is someone who lives in the same community you do, and why you'll often see the same familiar faces visit after visit. It's a very different experience from a rotating cast of technicians from a national chain, and it's something our customers tell us they feel every time we show up.
Awards and Recognition
We're proud to have been voted Best of Haywood County four consecutive years, an honor that means all the more because it comes from the community we serve. It reflects the trust local families and businesses have placed in us, and we work hard to live up to it every day.

Our Commitment to You
Everything we do comes back to trust. We give honest assessments, recommend only what your property actually needs, stand behind our work, and treat your home and family with respect. That's the standard we've held from day one, and it's the reason so many of our customers have stayed with us for the long haul.
I have one very big word: INTEGRITY. So nice to know it still exists. So very thankful. Thank you, Mark.
