Founder & CEO

Eric Critter McCool

Before cell phones and a driver’s license, Mr. McCool had a vision of becoming legendary in the field of stinging insect control. To kickstart his journey, McCool used a pager to manage his honeybee removal and hornet removal services. Whenever he received a page, he would walk a few blocks to the closest pay phone to call his clients. To expand his local bee control efforts, McCool then hired friends to take him to job sites, often getting paid in ice cream sandwiches.
