About Family First Pest Control

Family First Pest Control was founded on a simple belief: people deserve honest service, real solutions, and respect in their own homes. Owner and operator John Thompson, a proud native of Johnston City, Illinois, built this company to serve the community he calls home with integrity and care.

After gaining valuable experience working for other pest control companies, John recognized that too often customers were treated like numbers instead of neighbors. Determined to do things differently, he established Family First Pest Control with a commitment to customized treatment plans, transparent communication, and top-notch customer service. No two homes are the same — and neither are the pest problems that come with them. That’s why every service begins with a free inspection and a plan tailored specifically to your property.

Family is at the heart of everything John does. Together with his wife, Ashley, and their daughter, Annaleigh, he understands the importance of protecting what matters most. Whether spending time outdoors, kayaking, hiking, or caring for tropical plants, their family values shape the way the business operates — with respect for nature, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to the people they serve.

When you choose Family First Pest Control, you’re choosing a local, family-owned company that treats your home like its own — with honesty, reliability, and care.
