A Local, Family-Run Pest Control Business in Tacoma
Custer Pest Control has been serving residential and commercial customers in Tacoma,WA since 2015. We handle a wide range of pest issues — rodent control, ant infestations, bed bug treatments, wasp removal, and general insect extermination — whether it's a one-time treatment or an ongoing pest management plan. Our team works to identify the source of the problem and apply targeted solutions that actually hold up over time.
The business was founded with a straightforward goal: give Tacoma residents access to reliable, honest pest control without the upsell tactics or vague service agreements that frustrate so many homeowners. From the beginning, we built our reputation on showing up on time, explaining the treatment process clearly, and following through on results.
What sets us apart from other local pest control companies is the attention to detail and the straightforward communication our customers get from start to finish. There are no call centers or rotating technicians — just a local team that knows the Tacoma area and takes pest prevention seriously.
Tacoma is home. We know this area — the neighborhoods, the weather, and the particular pest problems that come with living in the Pacific Northwest. Our wet climate creates the perfect conditions for ants, rodents, spiders, and moisture-loving insects, and we've spent years learning exactly how to keep them out of local homes and businesses.
Being a local business means being accountable to the neighbors you see every day. We take that seriously. When we treat your home, we treat it the way we'd want our own treated — with care, honesty, and a focus on solving the problem for real, not just papering over it.
We started Custer Pest Control because too many Tacoma homeowners were getting the runaround from big pest control chains — pushy upsells, technicians who changed every visit, service agreements nobody could explain in plain English. We knew there was a better way to do this.
Our commitment is simple: honest pricing and respectful service. We tell you what the problem is, what it'll take to fix it, and what it costs — before we start. No surprises, no pressure, no fine print. If you don't need a service, we'll tell you that too.
That approach has earned us the trust of homeowners and business owners acrossPierce County, and it's the reason our customers keep coming back and referring their neighbors.
