About Orange Environmental Services

Orange Park Service was founded by Bill Williams in January 1972. Bill served 20 years in the United States Navy and retired in 1965. After retiring, Bill worked in the pest control industry, learned the business from the ground up, and became licensed in 1968.

Bill started off by purchasing the former Harris Fuel Oil company in January of 1972. Harris was located at the company’s current site on Blanding Boulevard in a small old service station building complete with a garage stall. In its early days, OPS was a full-service pest control company that delivered home heating oil during the winter months. As the Orange Park area grew, OPS grew with it. The Blanding location was renovated and enlarged several times until it became what it is today. Eventually, the oil distributorship was discontinued.

We lost Bill in July of 2008. His son Jerry took over the operations of the company. Jerry, a Jacksonville native, grew up in the Cedar Hills area on the west side. Jerry’s wife, Barbara, another Jacksonville native, is also involved with the company. Barbara hails from the Springfield area of downtown Jacksonville. The company name was changed to Orange Environmental Services (Orange) in January 2011 to better reflect our commitment to protecting our customer's home and business environment. Jerry passed away in November of 2012. Barbara now owns and operates OES. Joshua Scott is a certified operator and general manager.

Honest Service from an Established Company

Orange Environmental Services has been providing pest control for bugs in Florida for over 52 years. Our technicians are knowledgeable of the latest in pest control techniques, which enables us to customize effective treatment plans for Florida bugs. We have expanded our offerings to include a complete program of Lawn Maintenance Services.

Technicians from our company continue to set high standards for themselves so that our customers receive the best possible service. We practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM), using the newest technologies to eliminate and manage your Florida bug problems. We use a combination of chemical and non-chemical treatments to ensure a safe, effective treatment. We are dedicated to providing a fast and efficient solution to your pest issue.

Our services are licensed, insured, and guaranteed.

The Pest Control Industry Has Evolved

Over the years, pest control service has greatly changed. Products are much more selective, and the once-traditional monthly service is no longer necessary. To reflect these changes Orange now offers quarterly pest control service that is primarily done on the outside of your property. It is effective and environmentally safe. Of course, it is guaranteed, so any required retreatment is complimentary.

Termite control has also undergone marked changes, due mainly to the elimination of many established treatments in the late 1980s. We now offer Sentricon Always Active by DOW. Always Active is a termite baiting system that must only be inspected once a year. The Always Active system is registered under the Reduced Risk Pesticide Initiative of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It also has received the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award.

Orange now offers complete lawn and ornamental service alongside our well known pest management services. We offer lawn pest and weed control along with fertilization. We also provide lawn maintenance and landscape services. If you would like a fresh new look to your landscape, we can help with design, sod, and plant selection and can install it for you.

Orange continues to grow and thrive. We are proud to be a second-generation family-owned business, and we are proud of our other "family," our Orange Environmental Services team.
