In the midst of a corporate buyout, Russell determined it was time to start the company he had always dreamed of owning. His new adventure was based on his desire to serve his community by providing quality service at a fair price. In honor of his mother, who raised nine sons after her husband passed away, Russell was also determined to support his community by assisting the widows and elderly of Knoxville.
For the next 26 years, Russell's and Bobbie Bull ran the company, in 1997 their daughter, Vickie Bull Nadolski and her husband Mark, moved to Knoxville to help run the business. In December of 2011 Vickie and Mark officially took ownership of Russell's Pest Control.

If you're a homeowner, you don't have time to deal with a pest infestation! Home pest control is an important part of keeping your property healthy and safe for your family.

Pest problems inside of apartment buildings are inevitable. With so many people living in multi-unit buildings, a single pest problem can quickly spread and affect more than one unit. Without the help of a professional exterminator, pest control on this large of a scale can be frustrating and never-ending.

So far I am a little disappointed with Russell's. We have been having trouble with rats and have done everything we can to no avail. We called Russell's and it took a week to come out for the initial appointment. I couldn't be here so my wife had to deal with the person who was here. She said he did go look around and under the house and said yep… you have rats. He then Charged my wife $225 for the initial contract and didn't set out the first trap or even put some poison under the house. He told her someone would call the next day and they failed to follow through. Then my wife discovered

I requested multiple times for appointment to be set up. Last Oct 2020 the tech showed up unannounced. We have had prowlers in the area; so when my security cameras went off I was concerned. I pay for services every 3 months - this month they called and set the appt for Thurs the 21st they called wanting to change it. I asked for it be done on… Monday the 24th then it was changed to thurs the 28th I told them I could not be at home at that time could the appt be later in the day. They said NO. Rescheduled the appt for Fri the 29th. I told them I need to know a time frame, but they evidently

My exterminator was Brian. He was both down to earth in personality, and professional in his job at the same time. He is a great conversationalist and good at his duties. Its rare I need an exterminator to begin with, but he levels with you in personality and does his actual job well. I recommend this company and Brian personally

I am surprised by the poor reviews. However, everyone has different experiences and some get burned along the way. If i were Russell's, I would hire someone to help with customer retention and be very careful on hounding people. Holding people to contracts is a bit much. Contracts are for companies that have retention issues past 6mo. If you want to stand head and shoulders above the rest, you must demand high quality service to your customers at no additional cost and your company will grow. Maybe learn why Nordstrom's became so successful. The book is called "The Nordstrom Way

I would leave zero stars if that was an option.
Poor communication and lack of accountability from sales woman, scheduler, and management. Not a pleasant experience!
Further and perhaps more concerning, I have since contacted 2 other pest control companies and both advised the system proposed by Russell's is not the most appropriate treatment for my house.
I will be proceeding with another company and highly recommend you do the same.

This company apparently performed some sort of pest control service on the property that we now own. It seems that the builder allowed them to do some soil treatment before we closed on the purchase of our house last year. Ever since, this company will not leave us alone. We started receiving bills shortly after moving in demanding payment to continue the service. When we did not send payment, they started sending people out to our property to harass us. I have told them repeatedly that we are not interested in their service and to remove us from their list. We never signed up for their service
