About Lemon

Locally owned. Owner operated. Old-fashioned service.

Lemon Pest Control was founded in 2026 by two friends with more than a decade of combined pest control experience and one simple idea: treat every customer the way we’d want our own family treated.

Why “Lemon”?

Because your home should feel fresh, clean and bright.

Lemons mean clean. They mean fresh. They make you smile. We wanted a pest control company that left people feeling the same way — so we built one.

That means de-webbed eaves and cleared nests on every visit, a real person when you call, one-hour arrival windows, and reports on what we found. It also means something most pest companies won’t do: showing you your price up front and letting you sign up on your own time.

“Quality. Old Fashioned Local Service. Done Right.”

Co-owner

Brooks Kokkola

My name is Brooks Kokkola, and I am 26 years old. I am originally from northern Utah, and over the years I’ve lived and worked in Houston, TX; Charlotte and Raleigh, NC; and now I’ve settled in Greenville, SC. I am passionate about traveling — feel free to ask me about it when I’m at your home!

I’ve been in the pest control industry for 6 years and I’m excited to take on the challenge of owning and operating Lemon with my good friend Cole. I’m drawn to service-based work because I enjoy bringing something into people’s homes and lives that truly benefits them. I take pride in what I do and am committed to giving you the best service, tailored to your needs and expectations. I look forward to working with you!

Cole Porter

My name is Cole Porter. I am 27 years old. I am also from northern Utah, have worked across the United States in pest control, and have 5+ years of experience in the industry. I have a beautiful family: my wife McCall, and 3 children.

Putting the customer first is my passion. Running a service business that does business the old fashioned way — getting things right, being on time, and being all about what the customer needs and wants — is what drove me to start Lemon with Brooks! I am so excited to work with you and give you the world-class pest control service you deserve!

  • On time, every time

    One-hour arrival windows. Not “sometime Thursday.”

  • Eco-friendly, pet & child friendly

    EPA-registered products, used by the label. Keeping your pet and kids in mind every time.

  • Prices you can actually see

    Your exact price in under a minute. No “call for a quote.” No “today-only” special.
