HISTORY OF ANIMAL PEST MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. APMS started out as Agricultural Pest Control Services, Inc. in October 1982. Then in July of 1991, we changed the name to Animal Pest Management Services, Inc. to evolve into what we really did- vertebrate pest management in urban areas rather than crop production. Our Company is owned and operated by University Graduates who majored in Biology or Pest Management with emphasis in Animal Damage Management. We have many employees with the same degree and all of our field technicians are State Licensed or Certified Qualified Pesticide Applicators. We have over 40 technical personnel on staff to oversee Training, Safety, Environmental Evaluations and Quality Control and to assist with special pest problems.
