Our Company's Beginning

In the early 1960's, Reverend Ralph E. Clegg, our founder, was a minister at a small church in a rural town in North Carolina. The church developed a termite problem. Several termite control companies gave Rev. Clegg estimates for controlling the termites. The cost, unfortunately, was too much for the small church to afford. Rev. Clegg decided to learn all he could about termites from a friend at North Carolina State University and also from what was written. With the assistance of the other church members, Rev. Clegg treated the church successfully.

The treatment performed at the small church was just the beginning. Soon other church members, who were also in need of termite control, were having Rev. Clegg treat their homes. In 1964 Rev. Clegg incorporated Clegg's Termite and Pest Control. The company's initial beginning was limited, only performing termite treatments. However, soon due to requests and needs, these services were expanded to also perform pest control services. The company was developing from a hobby with a few employees working out of Rev. Clegg's home.
