Patton Pest Control was conceived
in 1964 when John R. Patton found out that his original job as Pest
Manager for Cleveland area A&P Stores was to be eliminated.
A&P had decided to eliminate in-house service. They became John
R.’s first customers and the foundation on which his company
was built. His idea was to provide pest control management based
upon the biology of pest species, environmental conditions of the
particular structure involved and a thorough knowledge of pest control
procedures. Mr. Patton had received two degrees in Entomology from
the Ohio State University and had the background he needed to be
successful in reaching his goals.
Steady growth continued and in 1971 a second Patton
was added to the roster, John S. Patton, fresh out of college with
a B. S. in hand from Miami University (go Red Hawks!). John S. started
as a technician, slowly taking on more and more responsibilities,
until his father's death in 1985 left him with the task of keeping
the family legacy in tact. Since then, the company has continued
to grow and John S. Patton has become one of the leaders in the
pest control industry. A veteran of service, he has been President
and has held several offices of the Greater Cleveland Pest Control
Association (GCPCA), the Ohio Pest Control Association (OPCA) and
the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). The NPMA is an
industry organization representing over 4,000 members worldwide.
Mr. Patton worked his way to President of the NPMA through many
years of hard work in other offices of that organization including
Director, Regional Director and Vice-President and received awards
for his achievements in those areas. He is especially proud of his
work with this fine group.
