PestNow of Central VA

Since its founding in October 2014, PestNow of Central VA has been a trusted name in pest control, wildlife, and termite remediation across a broad service area, including Williamsburg, Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, and Petersburg. With plans for further expansion, PestNow is committed to serving even more communities in the coming year.

Owned by Jeff Huber, Jeff Zalinski, and Shawn Payne—all proud veterans—the company is not only focused on providing exceptional pest control services but also on giving back to the community. Their dedication to service goes beyond business, as they actively support several local causes, aiming to make a meaningful difference.

Veterans Leading by Example in the Community

Jeff Zalinski serves on the board of Tech For Troops and is an active participant in the Fatherhood Foundation of Richmond, where he’s committed to making a positive impact in the lives of Richmond-area residents. His involvement doesn't stop there—he was a 2022 Fatherhood Foundation Funding Father, helping to raise over $115,000 to support men in becoming better fathers, an event recognized as one of the top three fundraisers in Richmond for the past three years.

Meanwhile, Jeff Huber and Shawn Payne contribute in the Fredericksburg area through organizations like Toys for Tots, school supply drives, and Father Christmas events. PestNow’s business model goes beyond financial contributions—team members actively participate in community service. Chesterfield Food Bank, for instance, regularly welcomes the PestNow team to help distribute food to those in need.

Building Trust Through Empathy and Education

PestNow’s philosophy centers on building relationships—both with the community and their clients. One of their guiding principles is teaching technicians and inspectors the importance of empathy. "No one wants pests in their home," says co-owner Jeff Zalinski, emphasizing that showing empathy and educating customers is key to solving pest issues. Pest control is a partnership between the technician and the client, and PestNow makes it a priority to involve homeowners and tenants in the process.

A large part of PestNow’s success can be attributed to their commitment to customer service. Promptness and communication are cornerstones of their business, reflected in countless customer reviews praising their reliability. Jeff Zalinski, known for his motto, “Do what you say you’re going to do and be where you say you’re going to be,” proudly displays this philosophy in his office as a reminder of the company's values.

Commitment to Continued Education

PestNow of Central VA also values continued education. The team regularly offers seminars for realtors, homeowners, and property managers, providing insights into how they can work together for better results. These events are not just informative but also fun—Jeff Zalinski, known for his singing and juggling talents, often brings a bit of entertainment to the learning experience.

The company's dedication to education helps them maintain strong partnerships with some of the largest property management companies in Central Virginia. They believe there’s always room to learn and grow, whether it’s within the service industry or in the community.

Making a Difference, One Community at a Time

PestNow of Central VA aims to inspire others to get involved in their communities. "It only takes one person to make a huge impact," says Zalinski. By involving family in charitable activities, PestNow believes in teaching life lessons through action, creating a lasting sense of accomplishment and purpose.
