"Justin Knox, pest control expert, has spent his life immersed in the world of pest management, carrying forward a family tradition that now spans four generations. His first experience came at the age of 12, when he spent school holidays working in the family business. From helping with termite treatments to maintaining the office grounds, he quickly learnt the value of discipline, detail, and responsibility. After graduating from Troy University in 1997, Justin Knox joined Knox Pest Control full-time."
"The Knox family story began in the 1920s with Justin's great-grandfather, Forrest H. Knox, who started by selling roach powder and mice bait door-to-door in Atlanta. That venture grew into a respected company built on the belief that success comes not from the customers you gain, but from the ones you keep. Each generation has carried that principle forward, and today Justin and his brother Sean represent one of the very few fourth-generation families in the industry."
"Q: Justin, can you take us back to your earliest memories of the family business? A: My introduction came very early. I was 12 when I first started spending summers at Knox Pest Control. My jobs were a mix of whatever needed doing-helping with termite treatments, mowing the office grounds, tidying equipment. At the time, I didn't realise how much those small tasks mattered. They taught me discipline, attention to detail, and that nothing"

Justin values family, farming, hunting, shooting, and outdoor life.
