Venus Pest Company was founded in 2001 when Dr. Scott Lingren opened the company’s office in Bryan/College Station. We have proudly served Aggieland ever since.
Since our founding, we have been pioneers in developing effective and safe pest treatment services. All of the pest control programs utilized by Venus Pest Company were personally developed and perfected by our president, Dr. Scott Lingren.
Dr. Scott is an Entomologist and a recognized innovator in the field. His passion for entomology blossomed early at the ripe age of 10, when he would assist his father and fellow entomologist, Dr. Pete Lingren, on cotton pest research in the cotton fields of Arizona.
With this “passion for pests” firmly in place, Scott went on to earn B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in entomology from Oklahoma State University, Louisiana State University, and Texas A&M University.
The result of Scott’s expertise and lifelong commitment to entomology is a company that has been recognized as an industry leader and pioneer. Venus Pest Company was named by Pest Control Technology Magazine as one of the “Top 25 Pest Control Companies to Watch” in 2011 and as one of the “10 Fastest Growing Businesses in the Brazos Valley” in 2008 and 2010 by Newman Printing.

We are Green Guru Certified from Brazos Valley Green and a partner in the EPA PestWise program.

All products are applied according to the pesticide label in a safe and conscientious manner. Where possible, we use products that have Reduced Risk Status with the EPA. We also use baits when appropriate, as baits reduce the amount of active ingredient needed to gain control by 90% or more. All our programs were developed by our entomologist, Dr. Scott Lingren, using the concept of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is an ecological approach to pest management that takes into account scientific knowledge and identification of the pests as well as the risks and benefits of pest management actions, giving you the most effective and safest pest control strategies available. In fact, a 2002 research study demonstrated that IPM strategies reduced pesticide use by more than 90% – while remaining incredibly effective.Our Field Service Experts are trained to avoid treating gardens, herbs, toys, pet dishes, etc.
No. Our insecticides are designed to target pests and will not harm your plants when applied correctly.
Bird cages, fish tanks, and reptile terrariums should be covered during treatment.
Other pets can remain out as long as they stay calm and out of the technician’s way. We recommend kenneling overly curious or territorial pets during the service.
Please also remove pet toys, bowls, and dishes from treatment areas.
We typically go inside during the Initial Pest Control service and Termite Inspections.
For mosquito control and basic pest control services, interior access is usually not required. Many customers prefer exterior-only service and experience excellent results.
If interior access is needed, you can leave us a key, provide a garage code, or meet us on site. Indoor treatments generally take no more than 10 minutes.
You only need to leave during indoor flea or bed bug treatments.
For all other services, simply stay off treated areas until the application dries, which usually takes about 20 minutes.
