Our story
Started Here in 2017. Still Here.
Dan Shepherd founded Shepherds Pest Control in the fall of 2017, with his family behind him. It has stayed a family-owned business ever since, and that isn’t a marketing line — it shapes how the work gets done.
We’re treating homes in the same community our own families live in, and around here word travels. That’s a good kind of pressure to work under.
What we care about is straightforward: protecting families from the pests, bed bugs and mosquitoes that turn up across Northeast Tennessee, and a home you don’t have to think about.
The team
The People Who’ll Be at Your Door
A small family business. You won’t get a different stranger each visit — you’ll get someone who already knows your property.

Dan Shepherd
Founder
Started Shepherds in the fall of 2017 with his family’s support, and he’s still the one most customers deal with. Read through what people have written about us and they don’t mention a company — they mention Dan.
-
Luke Shepherd
Dan’s son
Second generation. Grew up around the business and now works in it — which is about as literal as a family company gets.

David Lane
8 years in pest control
Started out with five years at Leo’s Pest Control before joining Shepherds in 2021. Most people around here know him as Bubbles.

How we work
What We Believe
-
01
Keeping pests out, not just killing them
We practice Integrated Pest Management. Most exterminators spray products indiscriminately and leave you with the mess. We’d rather find how pests are getting in and deal with that — targeted products, applied where they matter.
-
02
Honesty
If you don’t need a service, we’ll tell you. If a problem can wait, we’ll say that too. We’d rather have you as a customer for ten years than sell you something today.
-
03
Safety
Good customer service and stewardship for health and the environment go hand in hand. These treatments happen around your family and your pets, and we don’t forget that.
-
04
Professionalism
Well-trained technicians who take care with your property. On time, courteous, and they clean up after themselves.
Local
Why Local Matters
A technician who’s treated your house before knows where the crawlspace access is, which corner had the ant trail last spring, and what the weather has been doing to properties on your street. Regional knowledge isn’t something you can look up — you get it from working the same ground for years.
It also means accountability. We live here. Our children go to school here. If we do poor work, we hear about it at the grocery store — and that keeps standards higher than any policy ever could.
