For Thomas Randazzo, the founder of Optimum Pest Control, pest control isn’t just a business—it’s a family legacy. Thomas grew up learning the industry firsthand while working alongside his father at Brothers Exterminating, a pest control business established in 1977. With years of experience under his belt, he founded Optimum Pest Control in 2007, building a company focused on providing exceptional pest control services with integrity and expertise.
In 2017, after his father’s semi-retirement, Optimum Pest Control merged with Brothers Exterminating, solidifying its reputation as a premier pest control provider in Long Island and NYC. With a growing team of 7 technicians, Thomas set his sights on expanding the company’s reach, offering top-quality pest management solutions across more areas.
As part of their 2024 growth strategy, Optimum Pest Control aimed to establish a stronger presence in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan while maintaining its foothold in Long Island and expanding to Westchester. Thomas knew that digital marketing would play a key role in reaching new customers, building trust, and standing out in a competitive market.
