The Sullivan family has over 50 years in the pest control industry with over 100 years of combined expertise. Back in 1956 Chuck's Great Uncle Joe began his pest control career employed with Bruce Terminix of Memphis, Tennessee. At that time the pest control industry was growing quickly due to many discoveries and innovations, especially in termite control. Chuck's father, Quitman, entered the business in 1960 and began working with his uncle in California where he was then running the Oakland branch office. Chuck's father worked his way up and in 1964 became the manager of the San Jose, CA office. Chuck recalls while growing up the topic of conversation at dinner often revolved around pest control. Chuck's father founded East Area Termite and Pest Control in 1971 and four years later at the age of seventeen, Chuck began working along side his dad. At the time he was one of the youngest certified PCO's in California's history.
