Cowley's
Termite &
Pest Services, Inc was founded in 1991 by Drew Cowley. He had just been "laid
off" from a sales position in the publishing industry. Frustrated in his
efforts to find work back in publishing, Drew began to look at other
opportunities.
He accepted a job selling pest control
services for a local pest control company. Drew immediately fell in love
with the industry. Three month later he "maxed" out his credit cards, earned
a pest control operators license, purchased the necessary equipment, and
began operating Cowley's Termite &
Pest Services from his basement.
For the next 4 years Drew continued to grow
the business primarily as one man operation. He soon established an
impeccable reputation for prompt, quality service at a fair price. The
referrals came rolling in. Drew was busy, too busy. He wore many hats and
worked long hours away from his family.
In 1996, tried and exasperated, Drew
recruited the talents of his older brother Bill. Bill Cowley had just sold
his athletic footwear business and was looking for a new challenge.
The resulting partnership is yielding
tremendous results. Cowley's Termite &
Pest Services now services all of Monmouth & Ocean County
and the immediate surrounding areas. The business has moved from Drew's
basement to an office building on Rt35 in Neptune City. Cowley's Termite &
Pest Services is now a 10
truck operation with 10 full time employees servicing over 5000 residential,
commercial, and industrial customers.
