Pest Authority
Science-Backed Pest Control Since 2002
Pest Authority has built what most pest control companies cannot match, a service model anchored by an in-house science department, a fully functional field laboratory, and certified technicians trained on the most current treatment protocols in the industry.
The brand has operated under the Main Line Brands platform since October 2020, serving residential and commercial customers across the United States through 350+ locally owned and operated locations.
Pest Authority customers stay because the service works, not because they're locked into a contract. That confidence is built on science, reinforced by a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and proven every time a certified technician returns to retreat between scheduled visits at no additional charge. No Pests. Guaranteed.
In 2026, Entrepreneur named Pest Authority the #1 Pest Control brand on its "Best of the Best" list, with an additional placement at #250 on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500.
