About Innovative Pest Control

Our Story

In August of 1992, founders Tony and Kelly Santangelo embarked on a mission to create a pest control company that would exceed customer expectations. Innovative Pest Control began its journey in the back room of their house, starting with just one filing cabinet and a truck. Today, our company has grown to include an office in Longview and our home office on four acres of land in Tyler.


With a dedicated staff of 21 employees, including office personnel, technicians, home specialists, and a management team, we have built a strong foundation for success. Our commitment to continuous growth and improvement has led us to receive numerous accolades, such as winning the prestigious BBB Excellence in Business award for midsize companies in the East Texas area in 2022. Additionally, we are proud to have surpassed over 500 Google 5-star reviews with an outstanding rating of 4.9.
