History

Established in 1888.

In the late 1880’s a Chicago pharmaceutical salesman, E.R. Jennings, read about the Turkish soldiers who survived the plague during the 19^th century Russo-​Turkish war by dusting themselves with floral powder to protect from lice and fleas. He experimented with similar powders and discovered and effective pesticide (pyrethrum) that was apparently not toxic to people. He packaged and sold it to food plants and packing houses all over Chicago’s south side. As his business grew, he hired and trained staff to not only sell it but also how to apply it. This made Jennings one of the country’s first professional exterminators.

In 2001, Smithereen Exterminating Company — America’s Pied Piper, became Smithereen Pest Management Services — Your Partner for a Healthy Environment. The change was marked by a Name Day celebration attended by all employees. The new name accurately reflects Smithereen’s commitment to continuing the use of Integrated Pest Management techniques.
