OUR STORY
Built on Hard Work & Community
With the help of his good friend Joe Meagher, James and his wife Keyma started Meagher Pest Control in 2015. In the early days, they worked evenings after their full-time jobs, driving the old “Red Bomber” truck across Jefferson, Marion, and Wayne counties to earn the trust of friends, family, and neighbors.
By 2018, James left his career in law enforcement to pursue his dream of running the business full time. With Keyma’s support and Joe’s encouragement, Meagher Pest Control quickly grew, built on the values of honesty, effectiveness, and treating every customer with respect.
Today, the business continues to grow with a dedicated team that carries forward the same mission: to protect homes and businesses while treating every client like family.
