Blue Sky Pest Control is a Phoenix based provider of residential and commercial pest control services in Arizona that has been cited in a range of news reports for their insights.

History
Blue Sky Pest Control was founded in 2003 in Arizona, where it continues to operate. The company opened its first office in Phoenix and later opened a second location in Gilbert to accommodate the company’s growth. It now has over 65 employees, including entomologists.

The company's co-founder, Curtis Whalen, has noted that Arizona is in a "high-pressure zone for bugs," with spring being the prime season. This makes the state among top five states in the U.S. that need termite treatment, as yearly damage caused by termites throughout the country is claimed to be $5 billion. The company is reported to use tamper-resistant stations in their process to avoid access by birds and non-targeted species.

The company's founders have been interviewed and quoted by media outlets like CBS, among others, on topics ranging from termite reduction to team management, personnel and entrepreneurship.

The company has earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List each year since 2010. It has also been a certified partner of Rosie on the House, a home and gardening radio show broadcast on several stations in Arizona.
