About All-American Pest Control

We’re not across the country.  We’re around the corner. 

All-American Pest Control, an Inc 5000 company, has been serving Middle Tennessee families since 1961. Our formula for success isn’t complicated. It’s great people delivering a high-quality service – on time and with a smile. That’s why some of our customers have been with us for over 50 years.

Locally Owned & Operated. 
All-American Pest Control, Inc. is a local company, family owned and operated.  Al Foster Sr. started the company in 1961. After graduating from Tennessee Tech in 1975, his son, Al, Jr., began working in the business. Al, Jr. purchased the business from his Dad in 1985. In 2012, Al sold the company to his daughter Erin Richardson, who today runs the day to day operations of the company. 

Accessible.
Because we live and work where you live and work, you can call and speak with the owner of the company at any time.  Try doing that with one of the big national chains! 

Green. 
Get the very latest environmentally friendly pest control and termite protection products and application methods.  

Employee Hiring Process. 
We’re hiring people who will be in and around your home.  That’s why our employee selection process has been described as “jumping through hoops!”  Candidates for employment go through a series of interviews and complete a battery of tests including a personality profile, a problem-solving test, a risk-assessment test, a drug screen, and a state and federal background check.  And we check references! 

Low Turnover. 
Because our selection processes are so thorough, the employees we choose tend to stay with us.  In fact, the average tenure for an All-American employee is nine years, which gives you service continuity that is hard to find in the pest control industry.  It’s very likely that you will see the same technician year after year! 

 

A continuing family tradition

On November 12, 1961, Al Foster Sr. started All-American Exterminating. With a heart for people and a dream to own his own business, Al began by going from door to door to find people in need of termite and pest control services. Al’s relatives, Pat and Bliss Foster, started All-American Exterminating in Atlanta, Georgia the same year.

In 1962, Al’s wife, Ruth Bartz Foster started in the business. They were a perfect duo. Al would generate the new business and Ruth would ensure that the customers were happy, with accurate and on-time billing, ensuring that all services were performed when scheduled. To this day, much of Ruth’s organizational skills are evident in how All-American handles its customers and day-to-day operations in the office.

Al and Ruth’s second son, Al Foster, Jr., is the past owner and manager of All-American Pest Control. Al, Jr. worked in all aspects of the company and started full-time in 1975 after graduating with a business degree from Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville.

Erin Richardson, Al, Jr.’s oldest daughter, is carrying on the family tradition at All-American Pest Control, purchasing the business from her dad in 2012. Together with her father they have expanded into new markets, developed new service offerings and continue to look for ways to provide more effective pest control services and even higher standards for customer service.

Our story has aired on Fox 17; News Channel 5; WSBT out of South Bend, Indiana; WLOS in Greenville, South Carolina; WCHS in Charleston, West Virginia; and other stations!

A QualityPro Certified pest control company serving Nashville and Middle TN

QualityPro is a certification program available to members of the National Pest Management Association throughout the United States and Canada.  The foundation of QualityPro certification relates to how pest control companies do business in four key areas. These areas consist of:

  • Business Operations
  • Environmental Stewardship
  • Consumer Relations
  • Employee Education

The objective of this certification initiative is to help increase demand for our services by building consumer confidence in our industry. Customers can trust that they are receiving the highest level of service.

As active members in this program, our customers can rest assured when a technician comes to their door that they have passed a criminal background check, are drug-free, have safe driving records and receive numerous hours of continuing education each year.  This continuing education ensures that they will stay up to date on the latest trends and techniques in the industry.

Along with meeting or exceeding QualityPro principles, our employees go through a thorough internal interview process. To complement the QuailtyPro standards, we look for reliable, innovative, trustworthy, hard-working, self-starting individuals for our growing team.

Choosing the right pest control company can sometimes be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be; simply look for the QualityPro seal! For more information about All-American Pest Control or any of our pest control services offered, click here or, give us a call today.

“We chose to participate in the QualityPro Program because we believe in our industry! And we share the same values that QualityPro promotes,” shares Erin Richardson. “QualityPro is a symbol that constantly reminds our team that we are among the best of the best. Not just in middle Tennessee, but as a leader in the pest control industry worldwide.”
