Pure Home Pest connects Paragould homeowners with independent providers, serving the only Paragould in the world, named for two feuding railroad tycoons in 1882.
Call (844) 924-1337Paragould's name is a genuine 1882 invention, built from two feuding railroad men rather than a founder or a natural feature. When the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railway crossed the Texas and St. Louis Railway here, the two lines fused their leading figures' surnames, J.W. Paramore and Jay Gould, into the new junction town's name. The real legend behind that fusion holds that Gould, easily the more prominent of the pair, was genuinely furious his name came second, a slight for a man used to top billing in every deal he touched. The city sits on Crowley's Ridge, the forested rise breaking up the flat Delta farmland around it, which matters for a few of the pest patterns covered on this page. Whatever Gould thought of the outcome, the name held, and Paragould is still the only city anywhere in the world that carries it.
Arkansas licenses structural pest control through the Arkansas State Plant Board's Pesticide Division under the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. Individuals who want to perform commercial structural pest control work must qualify as a Commercial Applicator, which requires at least one year of hands on pest control experience or two years of college coursework in entomology, 40 hours of verifiable on the job training, and a passing score on a state administered exam, plus current EPA pesticide applicator certification. Businesses need a separate operator's license under one of several classifications, including Classification 1 for termites and other wood destroying pests and Classification 2 for household pest and rodent control, and must carry bond and insurance coverage before the state will issue that license. Wildlife and nuisance animal removal work is regulated separately: some nuisance species can be trapped or removed without a permit, but game and furbearing animals like raccoons generally require a Depredation Permit issued by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission rather than anything from the Plant Board.
