About Magic City Pest Control
EST. 2020
Magic City Pest Control was founded by people who knew there was a better, more effective and efficient way to run a pest control business.
With educational and professional backgrounds, the owners of Magic City Pest Control combined their knowledge and skills to develop a successful treatment program, which has had incredible results. These founders have designed an entire company with the customer in mind, focused on: clear communication, easy billing, and quality treatments.
Despite the challenges of starting a business during a global pandemic, during their first year of operation Magic City Pest Control provided over 900 pest control treatments, and received a 4.9 star Google Rating!

Meet the Team
Owners
Kenzie P.
Owner
I was born and raised in Birmingham, and I don’t ever plan on leaving. I love to try new restaurants in our area, and Saw’s BBQ is one of my favorites! My favorite thing about pest control is the problem solving! Everything is a puzzle and there’s a correct way to solve it. The most difficult problem I have solved so far is the Birmingham Zoo pest issues. I also enjoy the methodological approach to solving issues like rodents or German Roaches. Something unique about myself is that I have a degree in Elementary Education from UAB!
Joey T.
Owner
I was born in Idaho, but have lived in Alabama for a decade. I love hunting, fishing, and watching all the sports our four kids participate in. I was floored with the culinary scene when I first moved to Birmingham, and one of my go to’s is an afternoon date with my wife over a Fon Fon burger! I am in this business because I love building relationships with people: I love our employees and our customers and providing value to both. A unique thing about me is I have eaten at a Chick-Fil-A on a Sunday! Let me know if you want the details….I’d love to tell you the story!
Samantha S.
Owner
I grew up in the Chicagoland area, and have lived in several states (also overseas). I love my home in the Magic City though, it has been such a wonderful place to raise my 3 children! I have professional experience in pest control and customer service, and earned a Bachelor Degree in Business Management. I care about our customers’ well being and peace of mind, and it brings me so much joy when I hear success stories from our customers! One unique thing about me is I taught piano lessons for several years before helping start MCPC.

Jeremy A.
Service Manager
I was born and raised in Oak Grove where I’ve lived all my life, except for the brief 5 years we lived in Illinois. I am a father to 7 kids, and we love to go on vacation and spend time together. My favorite local restaurant is Mama Cocos, and one unique thing about me is that I have two different colored eyes. I love this job because it takes me all over Birmingham and I get to see different areas each day. I get the most satisfaction from solving German Roach infestations. I love when we can get rid of them entirely for people who never thought that would be possible. It is possible y’all!
Josh L
Technician
I grew up on a farm and am the oldest of 7! I am married with 2 beautiful daughters. I love to hunt, fish, ride horses, and enjoy mostly outside activities. I'm a big Star Wars, Deadpool, Marvel and Westerns person when it comes to movies. I've been in the pest control business since 2020. I love the work and helping people with their pest concerns. I'm a good listener and am always willing to grow and learn more! I take life one day at a time, putting God first and staying positive!
Jonathan S
Technician
I grew up in Los Angeles, and have lived in Alabama for 12 years now. I love to eat Pho, so if you ever find a good place make sure to let me know! I enjoy martial arts training and dancing, which is what I do when I’m not working. I enjoy working in the pest control industry because its solitary work and good for introverts. Wasps are my favorite insect, and I’ve taken some pretty difficult ant situations. Those can be extremely difficult. Something unique about me is I'm a skater and love parkour. I look forward to treating your home!
Ben B
Technician
I grew up in Virginia and have lived in the Birmingham area for the past 3 years. I love working with my hands, and one thing that is unique about me is that I am left handed. My favorite restaurant is Baumhauers, but I do also love Chick-Fil-A (where I worked before coming to MCPC). My favorite thing about working in the pest control industry is the problem solving, which I have had to do to solve some pretty difficult drain-fly and wasp issues. My favorite pests to tackle are ants, so if you’ve got those, I am your man!
Chris I
Technician
I was born and raised in Alabama, so this has been my home of 25 years so far. I am a husband to my beautiful wife Savanna and father to my precious baby girl Adalynn! When I'm not at work you can find me at the lake fishing or spending time outdoors with my family! I enjoy working as a technician because I love meeting and connecting with people I wouldn't have otherwise, and I find great satisfaction in being able to help people!

I grew up in Nashville and have lived in BHAM for almost 20 years now. I love to go hiking, and my favorite restaurant is Texas del Brazil. One thing I love about my job is that it has taught me to better appreciate bugs and not be afraid of them. It makes my day when I can help satisfy our customers, and I love general office work.

I am a huge fan of Duran, Duran, and when I am not working I enjoy spending time with my close friends.
