Have You "Herd" About Our Story?

Hello. This is Sam "The Bug Man Jr.", owner of Black Sheep Pest Protection. Pest control has been a part of my entire life. My dad got into the industry back in 1989, before I was even born. By 1995, when I was just a kid, my family started Antelope Hills Pest Control. Growing up in a bug family meant webbing, spraying, and getting to meet many of the amazing people of the greater Sacramento area. Without realizing it, I was already developing a passion for helping people create peace on their properties.

In 2018, after finishing college, I came back home to join forces with my mom and grow the family business. Together, we doubled our reach, helping even more people with top-notch pest control solutions. In 2021, my wife, Page, joined the team to help us keep the momentum going. By 2023, the company had grown so much that we decided to split into two. After a lot of hard work and planning, we officially founded Black Sheep Pest Protection in the spring of 2024! Even though we're now two separate businesses, we still have a great relationship with our sister company, Antelope Hills Pest Control, which my mother, Janna, continues to run.

Sam has been servicing our home since 2019. I've hired many pest companies in my 65 years and Sam of Black Sheep Pest Protection is, by far, the best. I love dialog. You don't get that a lot these days because everyone seems to be in a hurry. Not Sam,. he will stop what he is doing for a casual clean conversation. I admire his respect for me the customer, a quality you don't see too often these days. There have been several times when I noticed a new bees hive. One call and Sam is there to eliminate the hive. Sam has never disappointed me, and I'm certain you will not be disappointed if you go with Black Sheep Pest Control.

Black Sheep Pest Protection is a top notch pest control company. We have used Sam and his company since we moved here to Lincoln and we couldn’t be happier with the lack of pests due to his workmanship. I love the little details of this company such as the reminders prior to coming and even the delicate touch of picking up my pets plates. I was so happy with his services that I continue to refer him and my parents are also very happy customers. I highly recommend Sam and Black Sheep Pest Protection if you wish to keep the pests at bay and want personalized and effective service.
