Joe Knott worked as an Agricultural Inspector for the County of San Diego Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures for 20 years. It was there that he developed his passion, knowledge and experience of Entomology, insect identification, pest control techniques and pesticide regulation.

Always looking for a new challenge, Joe retired from the County at age 45 and went into the pest control industry. He founded Knott´s Pest Control and was Incorporated in 1981. His three sons, Donald, Deron and Brian, who had been around Pest Control since childhood, joined their father in the family business.

Nowadays, Joe is as close to "retired" as he´ll ever be, staying active as our Field Consultant and continuing to share his 50 years of knowledge and experience with our clientele. Knott´s Pest Control, Inc. is proudly run by Joe´s son, Deron Knott.

Deron has been around various aspects of pest control his entire life. Joining the company in 1985, he´s been a licensed Applicator for 25 years, specializing in General Pest Control as well Invasive Plant Management. Deron continues to pass along the family tradition of Pest Control to his own sons, who are already starting to learn the business.

Although the company has grown and evolved over the last 30 years, the focus has always remained quality over quantity.
