Our Founder and President, Samuel Gomez, is a self-proclaimed “pest control geek.” After serving as a leading team member at an elite pest control company for over half a decade, he established and managed Integrated Pest Management programs for several top Chicago institutions. Then, with over a decade of industry leadership, he established Effective Pest Solutions (EPS). EPS is built on the simple premise of being the premiere provider of client-centered preventative PM.

Sam believes in rolling up his sleeves and leading by example. He serves as our lead trainer, not just telling our team members what to do, but showing and explaining – not in a classroom, but in the field in real world conditions. Sam keeps up-to-date on the latest pest control techniques and technologies regularly attending workshops and seminars and reading top trade journals.

Sam’s vision for EPS is to build the premiere pest control service in the Midwest. To this goal, Sam is already certified not just in Illinois, but also in Wisconsin. He also has full credentials to do wildlife trapping and relocation.

With Sam at the lead, there is no job that our current and future team is not prepared to face.
