The Start Of Willis Exterminating
Glenn Willis founded Willis Exterminating in 1992, following seven successful years at Sears Termite and Pest, where he honed his skills and discovered his passion for delivering top-notch pest control services. Inspired by his entrepreneurial dreams, Glenn took a leap of faith in his seventh year to start his own pest control company – Willis Exterminating.
Humble Beginnings
Like many new entrepreneurs, one of Glenn’s biggest challenges was due to limited funding. He couldn’t afford new trucks or big marketing campaigns. Still, with hard work and dedication, Glenn Willis provided excellent pest control services to many residents and business owners across DFW and the surrounding areas.
Over time, word-of-mouth referrals helped fuel the growth of the business. What once began as a one-man operation has grown into a thriving family-owned company. With his son joining the team, he generated a fresh perspective, expanding their reach, hiring multiple technicians, and setting the stage for an exciting rebrand to further elevate their presence.
Transforming The Brand
Rebranding from Willis Exterminating to Pest G.O.A.T.S By Willis Ext. was a strategic move. They wanted to create a more memorable and professional image that appealed to a wider audience, including larger commercial accounts.
The new name shifts the perception of a small family-run operation to a well-established modern pest control company. Their goal is to strengthen the brand, increase visibility, and ultimately continue to expand.
Advantages of Family-Owned Business
One of the key benefits of operating a family-owned business over corporate competitors is the ability to cultivate personal relationships with customers, creating bonds that often feel like family. Pest G.O.A.T.S is committed to offering competitive pricing that reflects their dedication to honesty and transparency. They want their customers to feel valued rather than just another sale
Being an integral part of the community is a core objective for Pest G.O.A.T.S. This commitment encourages the company to engage with residents, business owners and actively participate in local events, further strengthening those relationships. Pest G.O.A.T.S values ensure that they maintain transparency and integrity with every customer. It’s more than just business—it’s about upholding a legacy of respect and care.
Advanced Pest Control Technologies
Staying ahead in the pest control industry requires adaptability and innovation. Pest G.O.A.T.S By Willis Etx uses advanced technology to provide safer, and more efficient pest control solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout Dallas and Fort Worth. These technologies include eco-friendly treatments, precise electronic monitoring systems, and innovative humane traps and barriers, all designed for minimal environmental impact.
Using Integrated Pest Management (IPM,) Pest G.O.A.T.S combines different strategies from biological controls to digital tracking, which enables proactive pest control that adapts to seasonal and site-specific needs. In addition, Pest G.O.A.T.S utilizes CRM software that streamlines operations and maintains customer satisfaction, while hosting weekly training sessions to keep their employees updated on the latest industry practices and safety regulations.
Pest G.O.A.T.S recently upgraded to the termite bait stations, revolutionizing how termites are managed. Previously, termite treatments involved drilling into the concrete perimeter of homes, which was a labor-intensive and disruptive process.
The new termite bait stations are placed in the soil around the property, providing long-term protection with minimal disruption. This method has allowed Pest G.O.A.T.S ability to provide efficient, and effective termite control.

Dangerous & Difficult Pest In Dallas
Dallas, Texas is known for its rich culture, thriving economy, and warm climate. However, these same qualities that attract so many also create ideal conditions for a variety of pests. Some of these pests pose significant risks to residents’ health and safety or threaten the integrity of a local business. In a densely populated city like Dallas, the risk of pest-borne diseases spreads rapidly.
Many pests carry disease, transmit parasites, or inflict painful bites and stings, while others can cause significant structural damage to homes and businesses. Termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles are some of the most destructive pests, capable of weakening a building’s structural integrity by consuming or tunneling through wooden components like beams flooring, or walls. Termites alone can cause thousands of dollars in damage over time.
One of the most challenging pest control cases Pest G.O.A.T.S has encountered involved treating a pier-and-beam home for subterranean termites in East Dallas. The home was over 100 years old and the house has settled unevenly, making the crawl space nearly inaccessible. To reach the termite infestation, Pest G.O.A.T.S had to cut through the floor inside the house, which was a time-consuming process.
Despite these difficulties, the termite treatment was a success and the termites were fully eradicated and the floor and home were restored. This was a true testament to Pest G.O.A.T.S commitment to thorough and effective pest control services.
