A Family Business Protecting Los Angeles Communities Since 1997

Armed Exterminators began when Dale Rodgers, an Altadena native and veteran pest management professional, saw local families struggle with unreliable “big-box” exterminators. Like many Angelenos, Dale grew up all over LA with close family and friends throughout Los Angeles County. His work has taken him from the San Fernando Valley to the borders of Long Beach, building deep connections in every corner of this diverse metropolis. Today, our small team of state-licensed, background-checked technicians brings that same neighborhood-focused care to homes, restaurants, schools, and medical offices across Greater Los Angeles.
