The most thorough
pest solutions available
Locally owned and family run, Guardian Pest Solutions has been providing homeowners and businesses with the most thorough pest solutions available since 1966. This approach has put us in the top 100 of over 20,000 pest solution providers in the country.
And, more importantly, it’s earned us longstanding relationships with our clients, thousands of which have trusted us for decades.
Giving you control
With Guardian, you can rest easy knowing your home or business – and your reputation – is protected with the discreet pest control services that keep you in control. Guardian has entomologist-trained technicians across the Midwest, plus a nationwide Service Partner Network, which means we can help you wherever you are.
Guardian approaches pest control using an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, focusing on pest prevention and long-term solutions. With Guardian, you’ll never have to wonder whether your home or business is protected.
Part of our commitment to thorough services that keep you in control is the technology and processes to document issues and identify resolutions. For our commercial accounts, we use an electronic logbook that ensures you are fully aware of your pest management activity, as well as our proprietary deficiencies app that gives you full visibility and record of deficiencies and the ability to assign and monitor corrective actions.
Plus, you’ll always have full access to and control of all service and account information through Guardian’s online client portal.
Focus on highly trained professionals
Our people on the front lines go through thorough background checks and screenings, plus intensive training, before they ever walk through your doors. Ongoing training and certifications keep them current with issues affecting pest management so they can bring the highest level of knowledge and service to you. With our on-staff entomologist, they are trained and backed by an expert resource in pest science. Guardian has also been named one of the best places to work in 2019, so our team of service specialists and customer service representatives are pleased to serve you.
A history of growth
David Wick founded Guardian Pest Control in Duluth, Minn., in 1966. Now owned by David’s sons Jason and Jeffrey, Guardian has expanded from a single location to a Midwest presence, with offices in Negaunee, Mich.; St. Paul, Minn.; Minot, N. Dak.; Des Moines, Iowa; and Milwaukee, Wis. But no matter how big we grow, we are and always will be true to the family values we were founded under.
In 2009, we changed our company name to Guardian Pest Solutions to better reflect our thorough, long-term, preventative approach to pest control. In 2016, Guardian moved into new corporate headquarters in Superior, Wis. and celebrated 50 years of providing dependable pest solutions.
