About Mason Exterminating

Mike Mason, Sr founded his company in October of 1978. In the early days, Mr. Mason worked out of his home, providing pest control and termite treatments for both residential and commercial customers. Mason Exterminating began with one service technician and one salesman – Mike Mason, Sr! Since that time, we have grown from a small one-person operation to a family-owned and operated company.

Mike works with his wife, Terry, his sons, Mike and Roy, as well as other technicians and office staff. Mike Mason, Sr works with the Missouri and National Pest Control Management Associations and is a member of the Main Street Merchants Association and the Belton Chamber of Commerce. Everyone here at Mason Exterminating will always treat you, our valued customer, as if you are family! You also will never sign any contracts here. Our customers' satisfaction is always our contract!

At some point in your life, you will have a close encounter with a nasty creature. They surprise you when you open the pantry, frustrate you when you open the pantry, frustrate you when you find them in your foundation, or irritate you when you are trying to sleep. Pests: Roaches, Termites, Mice, Bats, Bees; no matter what kind, they can all make life at home miserable.

Fortunately, you can call Belton's version of the Men In Black - Mason Exterminating. They may not wear dark sunglasses, but this family operation always gets their bug. Mike Mason, Sr, who began the business in 1978 out of his home in northeastern Kansas City with his wife Terry, started with nothing. "We started cold calling and going door-to-door," Mike said. "It was really tough; we started with zero customers and worked our way up from there. When we moved to Belton in 1982, I worked out of the house until 1999, when we got too big for the house."

Now located at 608 Main Street, Mason Exterminating has continued to grow while retaining the trust of past customers. "I started working at this one apartment complex when I was 16 years old," said Mike. "We still service them now. That's been 37+ years." Mason Exterminating is a family operation; he employs his kids, Michael Jr and Roy. At Mason Exterminating currently in 2014, we have a crew of nine. Of those nine employed here, only one is not family. So here at Mason Exterminating, you can rest assured that when you call to schedule your pest control service, you will always be treated like family.

We also offer chemicals for sale for the do-it-yourselfers or the customers that want to treat on their own. The majority of our customers, though, are less interested in getting up close and personal with the little nasties. "We take care of roaches, rodents, silverfish, termites, bees, squirrels, pigeons, rats, bats, opossums, fleas, and bed bugs," Mike said. "We also do pre-treatments and post-construction work. Any kind of pest control, we take care of it." The first step in getting rid of home invaders is to diagnose the problem. "We get a lot of calls on box elders," Mike said, "which look like roaches, but they have orange on their back. I can usually tell on the phone right off the bat because of my experience, but if I can't, we'll go out and get a sample, identify it, then give an estimate."

Mason Exterminating also has microscopes on hand to identify any rare insects that are brought into the store. Most jobs deal with termites and roaches, however. "Termites are a big problem," Mike said. "They do billions of dollars of damage every year. In this part of the country, they are subterranean. They have to go down in the ground where there is moisture unless there is moisture in the roof, which would be a secondary infestation. If there is a crack in the concrete, they can come up through the crack. We use Termidor, which is the best chemical in my opinion on the market. We've treated thousands of houses with Termidor, and we haven't had a call back yet." Part of what makes the operation so successful is that it is so close-knit. "We all get along great," Roy said. "We all run our own routes, and if I am finished up, I call the other techs and help out." Of course, exterminating requires people skills.
