Josh graduated from The University of Southern Mississippi, studying biology, psychology, and human performance, and captained the Southern Miss Rugby Team.
After college, Josh worked as a manager for GNC in Laurel and Meridian before pursuing a career in public service. In 2014, he joined the Flowood Fire Department and attended the Mississippi State Fire Academy, graduating second in his class. During his time in Flowood, he earned certifications including high-angle rope rescue, NIMS, hazmat operations, overland search and rescue, fire apparatus driver/operator, and firefighter intervention rescue and survival techniques.

Josh is certified in Master Vector-Borne Disease Management through the CDC and is working toward an entomology certification. He credits his background in emergency medical services, vector-borne disease management, and community service as key to his leadership approach and his commitment to keeping Mosquito Marshals at the forefront of innovation, community impact, and effectiveness.
He supports and operates both the Mosquito Marshals and Pest Marshals brands in Southwest Florida.
Ants
Ant problems usually start when a colony sets up nearby and sends workers inside for food and water. Pest Marshal identifies the species, targets trails and nesting sites, and treats the source to help prevent repeat infestations.
Mosquitoes
Mosquito control lowers biting pressure by treating breeding sites and adult resting areas around your property. Regular service helps disrupt the life cycle and keep populations down through peak season.
Termites
Termites can cause hidden damage by feeding on wood and other cellulose materials. Professional control starts with a detailed inspection, then uses targeted treatments and monitoring to stop activity and help prevent a return.
Fleas
Fleas reproduce fast and can infest carpets, furniture, yards, and pet areas. Professional flea control targets adult fleas and developing stages to break the life cycle. Follow-up steps and prevention help stop re-infestation.
Ticks
Ticks thrive in tall grass, wooded edges, and shaded parts of the yard where pets and wildlife pass through. Pest Marshal treats these high-risk zones to reduce tick populations and help limit exposure for people and pets.
Cockroach
Cockroaches multiply fast and often hide in kitchens, bathrooms, and wall voids. Professional control targets nesting areas, food sources, and entry points, then uses prevention steps to help keep them from returning.
Areas We Serve in Southwest Florida
Pest Control in Fort Myers, FL
From McGregor Boulevard and the Downtown River District to Gateway Villas, and the communities along Daniels Parkway, Fort Myers homes deal with pests differently depending on water, shade, and construction style. A canal-adjacent home, a newer build near Gateway, and an older property under mature oaks can have totally different pressure points. What makes Fort Myers unique is the mix of warm weather nearly year-round, afternoon humidity and rain cycles, and how close many neighborhoods sit to canals, retention ponds, preserves, and the Caloosahatchee River. That steady moisture and mild winter means pests don’t really “take a season off.” After heavy rain, activity can spike fast as pests look for higher, drier ground. Add in common local features like pool cages, screened lanais, attic access points, and lush landscaping, and you get a city where pest control has to be consistent—not occasional. That’s why this Fort Myers franchise is built to be local-first: quick to respond, easy to reach, and focused on a year-round plan that fits how Fort Myers properties are actually built and lived in.
Pest Control in Naples, FL
From Old Naples and the streets off Fifth Avenue South to East Naples, Golden Gate, and the communities along Immokalee Road and Tamiami Trail, Naples homes deal with pests differently depending on water, landscaping, and how the home is built. A coastal property near the Gulf, a golf course community, and a newer home farther inland can all attract pests for different reasons. What makes Naples unique is the combination of coastal humidity, warm weather most of the year, and the amount of water woven into everyday life—canals, lakes, irrigation systems, and retention ponds. That steady moisture keeps pest activity consistent, and it can increase quickly after heavy rain as pests move to higher, drier areas. Add in dense landscaping, shaded lanais, and the open-air lifestyle that comes with Naples living, and you get a market where pest control needs to be steady and proactive, not just a one-time fix. That’s why our Naples franchise is built to be local-first: responsive, easy to reach, and focused on year-round comfort with a plan that fits how Naples neighborhoods are laid out and how people actually use their homes.
Pest Control in Cape Coral, FL
From Yacht Club and Southeast Cape to Burnt Store, Pine Island Road, and the newer neighborhoods on the north side, Cape Coral homes deal with pests in a way that’s pretty unique to this area. The city’s dense canal system and waterfront lots create constant moisture and insect pressure, and that can change block by block depending on seawalls, vegetation, and proximity to water. What makes Cape Coral different is how water is built into the layout of the city. Canals, docks, boat lifts, and irrigation keep conditions favorable for year-round activity, and after heavy rain or storms, pest movement can spike fast as insects and rodents look for higher ground and shelter. Add in screened lanais, pool equipment pads, and outdoor living spaces that are used almost every day, and pest control here needs to be consistent and tailored—not occasional. That’s why our Cape Coral franchise is local-first: responsive, easy to reach, and focused on a plan that fits canal-adjacent properties and the Cape Coral lifestyle, so your home stays comfortable all year.
Pest Control in Estero, FL
Estero sits right in the middle of the Naples–Fort Myers corridor, and homes here deal with pest pressure that reflects that mix: fast-growing neighborhoods, lots of new construction, and plenty of natural areas close by. From Corkscrew Road and Three Oaks Parkway to the communities around FGCU and the areas near US-41, Estero properties can face different pest patterns depending on development, drainage, and landscaping. What makes Estero unique is the combination of steady warmth, seasonal humidity, and how often properties border preserves, waterways, and retention ponds. New builds can have their own issues too—fresh landscaping, irrigation, and disturbed ground can push pests toward structures. After rain, activity can ramp up quickly as pests relocate and search for dry shelter, and that’s why proactive, year-round service tends to work better here than “spray and hope” visits. That’s why our Estero franchise is built to be local-first: quick response, clear communication, and a plan that matches Estero’s growth, layout, and year-round conditions.
