Serving Orange County and Southern Los Angeles County, Admiral Pest Control has been providing trusted residential and commercial pest control services since 1947. As a family-owned and operated business that has been passed down through generations, we take pride in caring for our customers like family. Based in Bellflower, we are the oldest family-run pest control company in the area and one of the oldest in Southern California, still owned and operated by the same family.
Admiral Pest Control was founded in 1947 by Walter Lance, who started the business out of his home in Bellflower, CA. Walter made the service calls while his wife answered phones and took orders. By 1950, the business had grown enough to move to a larger location on Artesia Street, where Admiral Pest Control still operates today. During the post-WWII housing boom, demand for pest-free homes helped the company thrive. Walter’s daughter, Betty, and son-in-law, Earl Jones, joined the business, guiding steady growth through the 1960s and 1970s.
Earl’s sons, Jeff and Brian, joined the company in 1977 and 1980, respectively, learning the business from the ground up. By 1987, they had taken over operations and continued to expand the company. In 2007, Jeff’s son, Trevor, joined full-time while attending college, eventually becoming General Manager in 2017. Jeff’s daughter, Ashley, joined in 2011 and worked her way up to Office Manager. Today, Trevor and Ashley run daily operations, maintaining steady growth, high service standards, and a focus on customer satisfaction.
Defying the trend of corporate consolidation, Admiral Pest Control remains a family-owned business for four generations. With a dedicated team and a fleet of over 20 vehicles, we continue to deliver reliable and effective pest control services to homes and businesses throughout Southern California.
Choosing the pest control company that you want to work with doesn’t have to be a difficult decision. Admiral Pest Control has the experience and commitment to customer service you’re looking for. What sets us apart?

Highly recommended to anyone that wants termite and pest control services.

Aldo came by to service my property. He was polite, professional, and answered my questions regarding getting our property serviced. He was able to sweep potential areas that might have critters and the sprayed repellent for our quarterly treatment. Appreciate his professionalism and representation of this company.
