About Us
Hartsfield Pest Control is a locally owned pest control company based in Tallahassee, FL. Here's the background on who we are and how we operate.
How Hartsfield Pest Control Got Started
Hartsfield Pest Control was founded in 2017 by Nathan Hawkins, a Tallahassee native who spent years working in the pest control industry before striking out on his own. Nathan built the business from the ground up with a straightforward objective: offer reliable, honest pest control services to Tallahassee homeowners and businesses without the upselling and scheduling runaround that can come from larger regional companies.
The company name reflects the community it serves. Tallahassee and the surrounding North Florida region have their own distinct pest challenges — from subterranean termites and German cockroaches to Florida carpenter ants, roof rats, and seasonal mosquito pressure. A local company with local knowledge is better equipped to handle those problems than a national chain applying a standardized approach.
Since 2017, Hartsfield Pest Control has built its reputation on word-of-mouth and repeat customers. Homeowners, landlords, small business owners, and property managers across Leon County and the surrounding area continue to come back because the service is consistent and the results are real.
Nathan Hawkins — Manager
Founder & Owner, Hartsfield Pest Control
Nathan Hawkins was born and raised in Tallahassee and has spent his career building a reputation as someone locals can count on. He got his start in pest control working alongside experienced technicians, learning the trade from the ground up — how to correctly identify pest species, how to read a property for signs of infestation, and how to apply treatments safely and effectively.
He took on Hartsfield Pest Control because he saw a need for a local operator who actually prioritized the customer's outcome. Nathan runs a straightforward operation: honest pricing, reliable scheduling, and a genuine commitment to solving the problem rather than just billing for the visit.
Nathan's familiarity with Tallahassee's neighborhoods, construction styles, and local pest pressures gives him an edge that technicians from outside the area simply don't have. That local knowledge shows up in every inspection and every treatment plan.
How We Operate
Hartsfield Pest Control is a small operation, and that's intentional. Keeping things local and manageable means we can hold ourselves to a higher standard on every job. These are the principles we operate by.
Show Up When We Say
Scheduling a service call means you're counting on us to be there. We respect your time — technicians arrive within the scheduled window and call ahead if anything changes.
Explain What's Happening
You won't get a vague work order and a bill. Every visit includes an explanation of what pest is involved, how it's getting in, and what we're doing about it.
Honest Pricing
No surprise fees. No upselling treatments you don't need. Quotes are given before work starts and the price doesn't change unless the scope does — and we'll tell you if it does.
Actually Solve the Problem
Some pest control companies are better at scheduling the next visit than fixing the current problem. Our goal is to resolve your issue and give you practical advice to prevent it from coming back.
Operating Hours
We offer extended hours to accommodate busy homeowners and businesses that need service before or after standard work hours.
Why a Local Company
Hiring a locally owned pest control company in Tallahassee means you're working with someone who lives here, knows the area, and has a stake in the community. When something doesn't go right, you call the same person who did the work — not a regional call center.
Hartsfield Pest Control serves residential and commercial customers throughout the Tallahassee metro area. We offer the kinds of services that homeowners and small businesses need most, at prices that are competitive with larger companies. What you get that you won't find with a national chain is accountability, local knowledge, and a team that treats you like a neighbor.
