ABOUT PUTMAN PEST MANAGEMENT

Marty’s dad was in the pest control business, so Marty grew up learning about bugs and how to solve problems caused by them. When Marty got out of college, he started working with the same company. Eventually, he went out on his own and founded Putman Pest Management. “I like helping people and solving their problems. It makes me happy to make other people happy,” he says. Marty is married with two children, and enjoys hunting and golf in his free time.

Richard spent 8 years in the military and a friend helped him get a job at a pest control company after his service. (Putman Pest Management actively seeks to hire veterans, and all the employees except for Marty are veterans.) Richard worked for the same company for nine years and then decided to start his own business. Eventually, in 2006, he joined forces with Marty Putman, an old friend. Richard and his wife, who serves as the company’s secretary and accountant, enjoy caring for their beagle-dachshund mix, Macey. (If you come to the office, you’ll probably see Macey—she hangs out there frequently!). In his free time, Richard is active in his church and likes to hunt.
