Description

Company History J & J Pest Control, Incorporated was incorporated in 1987 by Joe Johnson and Jerry and Betty Mackey. Shortly after opening Jim Rix joined as a partner. Current owners are Betty Mackey and Jim Rix. In the early years we introduced our services by knocking on doors, and quickly had a customer base. Many changes have taken place over the years of being in business. For the first few months, we tried to operate out of our homes, but we soon realized we wanted to establish a commercial office. We opened our first office at 6610 Burnet Road in 1987, and in 1999 relocated to our present location at 7413 Burnet Road. In 2004 J & J acquired Austin Termite and Pest Control, a company in Wimberley, Texas. We quickly merged the company with J & J Pest Control and still service many of the original customers. Jerry and Betty's son Tyson Mackey came to work in the company in 2005. In 2007 Jim Rix retired but is still active in consultation. Currently Betty and Tyson are still active and working in the company. With so many wonderful customers and great employees, we have grown from nothing to a great little business. Currently, we have a wonderful staff and look forward to many more years of service. Betty Mackey: Owner/ Operator I hold the business license for the company, and have always actively worked in the business. I specialize in the accounting and management duties as well as any thing else that needs to be done. I live in the Hill Country with my horses and dogs, and enjoy riding cutting horses and ranch sorting. I have one son, Tyson, who is a big part of the company as well as my life. I look forward to many more years of service with this business and appreciate each and every customer. Jim Rix: Owner/ Retired Jim joined as a partner in the early days and actively worked as a manager and certified applicator for twenty years. Jim was born in California and has had a varied employment history prior to pest Control. After moving to Texas and working at Manor Downs, Jim changed careers to pest control. He has two grown daughters and four grandchildren. He and his wife, Pam, have both retired and moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico where they enjoy gardening, volunteering, and just living the good life. Monica Malone/ Manager Monica came to work for J & J in December of 2005. Her position is the hub of the company and is basically in charge of everything from scheduling jobs to ordering products.
