A Tradition of Trusted Pest Control Services Since 1969
A&C Pest Management has been a trusted business for over 56 years, providing expert pest control solutions to homeowners and businesses across Long Island. Originally founded in 1969 by Neil O’Connor, the company was later joined by his longtime friend and fellow Bronx firefighter, Walter Skinner, in 1972. While balancing their firefighting careers, the two built a reputation for reliable, customer-focused service.
In 1975, Skinner became the sole owner and expanded A&C’s services. His son, Jim Skinner, took over operations in 1994. Under Jim’s leadership, the company has continued to grow, adopting the latest industry innovations while maintaining the personalized service and integrity that have defined A&C for generations.
Now in its third generation, A&C Pest Management remains committed to delivering safe, effective, and environmentally responsible pest control to homes and businesses throughout Long Island. Our dedicated team of experts ensures that every customer receives the highest level of service and peace of mind.
