Meet the owner
Sal Matiello grew up in pest control.
Sal began learning the business from his father in Arizona when he was six. More than 35 years of experience later, he still enjoys the work and the relationships he has built with customers across the Valley.
As SJM’s owner and lead technician, Sal brings a practical, attentive approach to each home. Many longtime customers know him as Sam. SJM is a family business, with Leona handling the office and scheduling. Max, our dog, is part of the family too. We love dogs and take pet safety seriously when discussing treatment options and preparing a home for service.
