The Don Baker's Pest Control Story

At Don Baker’s Pest Control, we believe that great service starts with great people — and it all began with one man’s dedication to doing things the right way.

Don Baker entered the pest control industry in 1980, working hands-on as a technician for several well-known companies in Central Illinois. Over the years, he learned more than just how to treat homes for pests — he learned the value of hard work, the importance of honesty, and the difference that personal service makes. His wife, Deb, stood by him through it all, and in 1999, they decided to turn years of experience into something truly their own.

Together, they founded Don Baker’s Pest Control with a vision: to create a small, family-owned business that puts people first — where customers are treated like neighbors, not numbers. They dreamed of building something that would one day be passed down, a legacy of quality and care for future generations.

For over 25 years now, that dream has grown into a trusted name across Central Illinois. Based in Mattoon, Illinois, we proudly serve families and businesses in the surrounding areas with custom pest control solutions, delivered with a personal touch. We handle everything from general pest control and termite inspections to rodent management and seasonal treatments — and we do it with the same pride and professionalism that Don brought to his very first service call.

Even as we’ve grown, we’ve never lost sight of who we are: a family business built on small-town values. We’re still local. We’re still independent. And we’re still committed to doing things the right way, every time.

Whether you’re a first-time customer or someone we’ve served for years, when you choose Don Baker’s Pest Control, you’re not just getting pest control — you’re getting peace of mind.
