Adam founded Waves Pest Control in 2014 after a decade of working under other operators across Manatee and Sarasota counties. He built the company on one promise: show up when you say you will, diagnose before you treat, and never upsell a service the home doesn’t need.
Background
Adam holds a Florida FDACS license in both general household pest control and lawn & ornamental. He spent his first years in the industry specializing in subterranean termite work — subslab and perimeter treatments for homes in Bradenton, Palmetto, and Ellenton where the hardpan and high water table make traditional bait stations unreliable.
What he handles personally
- Every termite inspection on a home built before 1990
- WaveGuard Gold and Platinum onboarding visits
- Chinch bug callbacks where the homeowner has already tried DIY
- Technical reviews on every blog post published on this site
Outside the truck
Adam lives in Manatee County with his family. When he’s not in the field or the office he’s usually on the water — fishing the Manatee River or Tampa Bay — which is where the “Waves” in Waves Pest Control actually came from.
