Like many other successful businesses, HomeShield Pest Control had humble beginnings. Ian Morgan, the founder of HomeShield, had a dream of owning a company one day. Early on in his career he worked for another pest control company and saw that his ideas could really make a difference. He wanted to change the pest control industry for the better, so he got to work. In 2009, he started HomeShield Pest Control out of his parent's garage.
