For many homeowners, welcoming someone into their home requires a certain level of trust. But imagine opening the front door to a familiar face—someone who knows your home, remembers your concerns and greets you like an old friend. At Binford Insect Control, that kind of relationship isn't just a pleasant surprise; it's the foundation of how the family-owned business operates.
Binford Insect Control is a Bryan-based business that has remained in the family for three generations, with the fourth generation now becoming involved. As Binford Insect Control approaches its 80th anniversary in 2027, the company remains dedicated to the same customer-first philosophy that has guided its operations since the beginning.
“We're going to go out there and do the service as if it were our home,” Christie Binford, the co-owner of Binford Insect Control , said. “We're going to solve the problem and not just cover it up.”
When was Binford Insect Control founded?
Founded in 1947 by George Binford, Binford Insect Control began serving farms and rural properties in the Brazos Valley before expanding into a full-service pest control business.
Over the decades, the company has remained family-owned, passing from George to his sons, Ed and Bill, and later to his grandson, Brien. Today, Brien and Christie Binford's son, Blake, is the fourth generation becoming involved, continuing the family's longstanding commitment to the community.
As Binford Insect Control approaches its 80th anniversary, the company remains focused on the relationships and values that have guided it for generations.
How is Binford Insect Control different from other pest control businesses?
While pest control methods and technology have evolved since 1947, Binford Insect Control's emphasis on personalized customer service has remained a defining part of the business.
Rather than relying on automated phone systems, the company prioritizes having a real person answer customer calls, allowing residents to speak directly with someone who can help address their concerns.
That personal connection continues beyond the initial phone call.
Binford Insect Control strives to send the same technician to a customer's property for recurring services, giving homeowners an opportunity to build relationships with the people responsible for treating their homes.
Over time, those relationships allow technicians to become familiar with each property's unique pest control needs, including areas requiring additional attention and individual customer preferences.
For the Binford family, that familiarity is especially meaningful in a community where personal connections often extend across generations.
“We get to know them, they become like family, they love our technicians,” Binford said.
