Jacob founded Kodiak in May of 2019. Prior to this Jacob founded ActivePro Pest Control in Hurricane/St. George, UT. in late 2016. While that business grew rapidly and was successful it just wasn’t located in the place where Jacob and Whitney wanted to be. Jacob grew up in Greybull, WY and graduated from GHS in 2002. During high school he spent a few summers selling pest control in California with his older brother, Josh. This experience gave him confidence that he could pursue pest control as a career. After graduating, selling for another summer, serving a full time 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Jacob returned again to California to sell pest control for Josh’s company Insect IQ. During the summer of 2006 he met and fell in love with Whitney Scott, whom he wed that fall. The couple then spent the next 3 years in Provo, UT where Whitney was finishing her Bachelors in speech pathology at BYU. During this time Jacob continued to work in sales and online marketing. In January of 2010 after Whitney’s graduation the couple relocated back to California to go back to Insect IQ to work in pest control full time. Jacob gained valuable experience during this time working in every aspect of the business over the years. Life was good for the couple, but with a growing family they felt the need to leave California to raise their children in a more suitable environment. ActivePro Pest Control was founded in November 2016 and grew quickly in one of the fastest growing areas in the country. Southern Utah just wasn’t Wyoming though. Jacob longed to be back in the community where he grew up and to raise his children in the same environment. So, Jacob took all of the lessons learned from starting ActivePro and started Kodiak Pest & Lawn, now Kodiak Pest Control. Kodiak has allowed Jacob to fulfill his dreams of being an independent business owner, doing what he loves, where he loves living. Grateful for all that the area has given to him, he now seeks to give back to the community by providing excellent service, supporting local chambers, schools, and charitable organizations, as well as providing great job opportunities and experiences for his employees.
Whitney is the better half of Jacob and Co-Owner of Kodiak Pest Control, Inc. While she acted as receptionist in the early days, she has mostly had a passive role for the past few years focusing primarily on raising the pairs’ four children while occasionally contributing photographs and video content for the company. Whitney will now take a more active role putting her talent for photography to work creating more content for the website, and other digital media like YouTube and our social media platforms.
Whitney was born and raised in the Central Valley of California, but don’t hold that against her, she has fallen in love with Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin. Small town living is just the kind of lifestyle she never knew she wanted or needed. She enjoys baking, gardening, photography, knitting, bike rides and caring for her children and pets. Professionally Whitney gets great satisfaction from generating quality work and can always be counted on to see projects through.
