Apple Pest Control, Inc. was started by Chuck following the sale of BBBK in the late 80's and enjoyed business success and loyal, family-like customers throughout central Florida until sold in the mid 2000's. That venture gifted Chuck with many customers who became like family because of his demand for respectable and honest attention to a customer's property and a level of customized care rarely seen in the industry, frankly.

​

Moving to Atlanta to care for the final years of his beloved youngest son Danny, Chuck directed service training and quality control positions in two of Atlanta's leading pest control companies, and became a member of Certified Entomologists until ....
