Celebrating 10 Years of Protection & Purpose
In 2026, Aruza Pest Control proudly celebrates a decade of service — 10 years of protecting what matters most: your family and your home.
What began as a two-person startup in a Charlotte garage has grown into a trusted, values-based brand across four states, with 12 branch locations and thousands of loyal customers. As we reflect on the journey, we remain grounded in the same mission that started it all: to serve, to protect, and to deliver on every promise we make.
Our Story
Founded in 2016 in Charlotte, North Carolina, Aruza began as a garage-startup with two friends who believed that pest control should be reliable, respectful, and transparent. Over the years, Aruza has grown into a multi-state operation with 12 branches — including Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro (NC), Smithfield, NC; Greenville, Columbia, Charleston (SC); Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville (FL); Dallas & Houston (TX) — serving homeowners and businesses with local expertise and genuine care.
Through rapid expansion and strategic growth, Aruza has maintained a singular focus: protecting homes and families from pests while putting people first.
Our Mission & Vision
At Aruza, our mission, vision and values are more than words — they guide every visit, every technician, every interaction.
Mission
The Aruza Mission is to build and grow relationships, provide opportunities for our team, and serve everyone involved by delivering on every promise we make.
Vision
The Aruza Vision is to be the trusted leader in pest control, known for providing exceptional service and for the way we treat people. We will be the employer of choice by being the leader in responsible and ethical sales, and by demonstrating our Core Values in everything we do.
Our Core Values
At Aruza, our core values are more than just words—they are our blueprint. They guide how we lead, how we serve, and how we grow. They help us build a company where people take pride in what they do, support one another like family, and never settle for average.
Our values shape every experience for our customers, our teammates, and our communities. They are how we build and protect culture, hold ourselves accountable, and become better every day together.
Why Local Matters
From the Piedmont of North Carolina to the Coast of Florida, from the Carolinas’ historic cities to Texas’ urban centres – pest pressures differ by region. At Aruza, our 12 locally-based branches enable us to adapt to seasonal trends, local pest species and unique home construction environments. With technicians who live in your community and understand your neighbourhood, you receive service that is timely, informed and personalized.
Our Approach
Driven by the 5-step Aruza 360° process — Inspect → Identify → Monitor → Implement → Evaluate — every home receives a consistent care plan.
This process, combined with our values-driven service culture and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, ensures that when you choose Aruza you’re not just getting a pest control provider — you’re getting a trusted partner in home protection.
Meet our Leaders
Our team is built on more than technical know-how — it’s built on respect, education and community responsibility. Each technician is trained not only in pest biology and treatment, but also in clear communication and homeowner education.
