About Us

Gaia Pest Control was founded on experience, integrity, and a commitment to doing pest control the right way.

Owner Paul Vazquez has been serving the pest control industry since 2012. He began his career at ChemTec Pest Control, where he quickly advanced by studying extensively and passing certification exams across multiple categories. His dedication to education and hands-on experience allowed him to develop comprehensive expertise in residential and commercial pest management.

After being promoted to Lead Technician, Paul specialized in bed bug extermination, mastering advanced treatment methods and inspection techniques to eliminate even the most challenging infestations.

Following his time there, Paul joined MiteBuster Pest Control, a small local business, where he served as a Supervisor and Lead Technician. In this leadership role, he trained and mentored technicians in:

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Pest identification and behavior

Safe and effective treatment protocols

Customer education and preventative strategies

Paul emphasized not only eliminating pests, but also educating homeowners on how to proactively prevent future infestations.

With years of field experience, leadership expertise, and a deep understanding of both pest biology and business operations, Paul founded Gaia Pest Control with a clear mission:

To provide reliable, environmentally responsible pest control solutions while exceeding expectations for both clients and employees.

Today, Gaia Pest Control proudly serves homeowners with honest recommendations, thorough inspections, and customized treatment plans designed for long-term protection.
