What Advanced Pest Solutions does

Advanced Pest Solutions is a family-owned pest control company headquartered in Bettendorf, Iowa, founded circa 1999 by Tim Sullivan. The firm delivers residential and commercial pest management services throughout the Quad Cities metropolitan area, spanning both Iowa and Illinois. Its service portfolio covers general pest control, exterior perimeter treatments, bedbug remediation, flea and tick management, and mosquito control — delivered by field-based service routes. The team comprises approximately 13 staff, with documented family-member involvement, and the business has operated continuously for more than 25 years.

The technology footprint is minimal. Advanced Pest Solutions uses Jobber as its client billing and scheduling platform, with no proprietary software, route-optimization systems, or AI/ML components. There is no franchise system, multi-state presence, or enterprise contract structure; all engagement is direct-to-consumer via the company website, phone booking, and word-of-mouth referral. The business is a small, locally embedded field-service operation with no public funding history and no acquisition or M&A activity disclosed.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time service calls and recurring quarterly pest management programs. Pricing is quote-based rather than transparently published, and customer concentration appears low, distributed across many residential households and a long tail of small commercial accounts. The company's growth posture is steady-state, with modest digital investment (Jobber adoption, location-targeted SEO pages for adjacent municipalities) the most visible recent initiative.
