FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Houston gets new Board Certified Entomologist with a vision for identifying, eliminating, and managing insects and pests living in the nooks and crannies of our homes “without our permission!” 

  After years of study, Wm. Miles Self recently graduated from Texas A & M with a Bachelors of Science degree in Entomology. Anyone who studies insects is known as an entomologist.  A Board Certified Entomologist (BCE) must pass a number of rigorous examinations to test their knowledge and ensure strict adherence to a high Code of Ethics and professional behavior.  Similar to CPAs, and Insurance professionals, a BCE is required to maintain annual educational requirements. 

  Self, studied under the tutelage and mentorship of Roger Gold, Ph.D Professor, Entomology Department of Texas A & M. “Miles is one of the nicest, honest, and most dedicated students I’ve had the privilege of associating with. He not only demonstrated tremendous fortitude in returning to school after so many years but he quickly captured and demonstrates true Aggie spirit and dedication” said Dr. Gold

  Self, opened Pest King Termite & Pest Control in 1991. “A Board Certified Entomologist offers a great benefit to Houston residents with the ability to identify and determine the type and extent of any ‘pesty home invasions’ provide needed treatment, or recommend a strategy for controlling unwanted pests,” says Self. 

  There are few Board Certified Entomologists in the United States; and, Self, says:  “It’s possible I may be the only BCE in Houston, Texas, specializing in urban/residential pest control.”

  “As a newly Board Certified Entomologist, I look forward to serving the Houston community with its ever changing environmental and weather related pest management challenges,” says Self.
