“WE ARE PEST ELIMINATION SERVICE EXPERTS”

In 2011 Jack McCaffrey and Tyler Gehauf partnered to create IPM. 

“We both were looking for something different. We had been working long hours at our jobs for years, never really getting ahead or feeling like we were making a difference. We both felt like we were great at our jobs, but had no control over our time or our futures. We just knew we could deliver exceptional service and still have time for family and free time, and make a living doing it.” -Tyler Gehauf, Partner

IPM started off providing pest control to anyone who called.  After a year or so, a wise business person challenged us to make a list of our favorite customers, then to list what these accounts had in common. They were all commercial. They all valued having a pest-free environment. They all had a great culture and treated their team members and customers well. Since then, we have dedicated ourselves to finding more like them, introducing ourselves and when the time is right, serving them.

Jack was able to retire, and IPM has been able to build a small team in Denver and Colorado Springs. It became our mission to provide an amazing work environment to our teammates so they can look forward to the very important job they have: taking care of our customers. We added benefits, we added holiday parties, and good trucks. We grow with them, we grow because of them. And we give them ownership of their routes and their accounts, knowing that they will take care of the accounts and the accounts will take care of them.

In 2019 IPM began a new journey: partnering with great pest control companies in other markets to provide regional and national service plans for our customers with a presence elsewhere. In a world of mergers and acquisitions, its refreshing to us to give our accounts the choice to stay with a local company as they grow, and to know we put our people and our accounts first, not profit and shareholders.
