CO-OWNER, PATRIOT PEST

Termite Control

From a young age, Nancy DeWitt was encouraged by her parents to find the path of entrepreneurship as her future. Growing up on a small farm in central Illinois she was taught to work hard and do the right thing.

Once moving to Arizona, Nancy has fulfilled her passion with leading and running these opportunities over the years. Then in 2016, she and her husband Kevin had the opportunity to move to Prescott and purchase Patriot Pest & Termite Control from Kevin’s longtime friend and the owner, Mike Fraker.

“In all my years I never imagined that I would own a pest control business, but this is such a rewarding industry that we are in,” Nancy says. “Trust me, there is nothing sexy about the pest control industry. There is a stigma around the industry, but what we do day in and day out is we protect families.

“Our clients and our community are important to us, and when we have that opportunity to lend a helping hand it just doesn’t get any better than that."

Most importantly, Nancy says, Kevin and she are very blessed to be a part of the community, to have the ability to share and give back.

“We have worked hard to grow the business, which allows us to add new opportunities to our community. We look forward to what the future holds for the growth of our community and the opportunities to continue giving back.”
