Midwest Pest Control, Tulsa

As owners of Midwest Pest Control, brothers Grant and Mark Christensen have chosen their side in the war against household pests: they’re with the good guys. Their crews deploy safe, EPA-approved products during thorough assaults on both the inside and outside of a home. They apply 7- to 10-foot barrier sprays around the home’s exterior and treat common insect hangouts in the interior, rooting vermin out of baseboards, basements, and the bugs-only coffee shop behind the fridge. Ideally, each blitz eradicates infestations of critters including ants, yellow jackets, and termites while simultaneously preventing their return; should buggy troops regroup, the team will happily come back between scheduled services for retreatment.
