About Us

Get to Know A-Action Pest Control!

A-Action Pest Control was built on the foundation of the love and support of family. In 1988, Douglas M. Duty started the business, his wife Jacqueline cheering him on from the sidelines. When their daughter Cheri took over as owner 19 years later, her mother continued to be an unwavering source of support, carrying business cards with her and “talking up” the family business whenever she had the chance.

In 2014, Cheri and her husband Adam purchased a building in Antioch that would become home to A-Action. At the same time, Jacqueline had been diagnosed with cancer. As a final act of support for her family and their business, she surprised them with the gift of an engraved “A-Action Pest Control” bench to welcome visitors outside of the office and commemorate the success of the business. After she passed away in 2015, Adam had it engraved again in remembrance of Cheri’s mother, Douglas’ wife, and the pillar of their family. It stands outside the A-Action office today as a symbol of that support that has made the business what it is today.

We have had A-Action for over a year and a half now. When we started we had such a bee problem and every time Pete was kind and took care of it, no questions asked, even though he had to return numerous times as the bees were everywhere. We decided to continue the quarterly maintenance and that has made a huge difference on all the creatures throughout the summer and winter months...ants have been almost null in the wet springtime too. We would recommend A-Action to friends, family and strangers! Great service and super kind staff.
