Owner of Bates Exterminating

Back in 1978, Robert Bates started a small pest control business in the local West Palm Beach area. A Lake Worth native, he had a GIANT vision of growing his business in the State of Florida. His timing was perfect as Palm Beach and Martin counties developed, new homes sprung up and people steadily began moving to Florida growing his one man pest control company. As the business grew, Bates Exterminating grew. Both Bob and his wife Melanie never stopped working.

Thirty eight years ago, a typical residential home was treated weekly for around $8.00 a month. Most customers were either home, or left their front door open for the service technician. Because of his knowledge and expert service, Robert Bates quickly expanded his company from the many business and personal referrals he received daily.

With an unparalleled level of personalized and high quality service, Bates Exterminating quickly gained a reputation as being the premier pest control company in area
