(Lynn was previously the Corporate Communications Manager for Rentokil North America, focusing on public relations and advertising for our Ehrlich and Presto-X brands but has now left the business.)

Since joining the company since 1992, I’ve learned a lot about things that creep, slither and scurry. The best part of my job is sharing all of the neat stories and successes we see in the pest control business. It’s great to know how much we truly help homeowners and businesses with their pest problems.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, the ocean and gardening.

Pest Proof Your Picnic
