About PestNow of
Central Virginia

PestNow Central Virginia is a veteran-owned and operated local small business offering Pest Control Services throughout the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Northern Neck areas. All of the partners served in the U.S. military and have lived in central Virginia for many years; several are lifelong or longtime Virginians.

The company launched as a PestNow franchise in 2014, starting with Jeff Huber and his brother, Jacob Huber, and two vehicles. The company has since grown to 26 employees across four locations, including 5 office employees, 18 field technicians, and 3 partners, as well as a fleet of 10 vehicles. Jacob Huber has launched the third PestNow CVA location in the Northern Neck.

One of the hallmarks of PestNow is hands-on, personalized customer service: “When customers call in with a concern, they have direct access to the ownership. There are no gatekeepers,” says founder Jeff Huber.

Unlike some other pest control businesses, PestNow hires full-time, year-round employees – not part-timers or seasonal workers. In addition, all technicians are fully trained, licensed, registered, and certified through the Commonwealth of Virginia; they also undergo criminal background and driving record checks. Customers can be assured of getting the highest levels of quality, professionalism, reliability and expertise from PestNow CVA employees. In addition, inspections are always free, and we stand by our work with warranties for between 90 days to a full year, depending on the type of treatment or work performed.
