EnviroGuard Inc. was established by Lee A. Tubbs in November, 1997. No stranger to the industry, Lee grew up in a family owned pest control business, Atomic Pest Control Company, in Memphis, TN, founded in 1958 by his uncle, Les Tubbs. In 1960 his father, Earl Tubbs joined the company. Lee worked weekends and summers at Atomic until 1979 when he began his full-time career in the pest control industry while he was still in college. He was promoted to General Manager of Atomic and served in this position from 1990 to 1994. Lee moved to the north Georgia area in 1994 and worked for a pest control industry distributor and supplier prior to starting EnviroGuard. Lee is a 1983 graduate of the University of Memphis and has a Bachelor of Professional Studies degree in Pest Control Management.

The EnviroGuard service mission is based on the principles of integrated pest management (IPM). IPM works to reduce factors contributing to unacceptable pest populations in homes and businesses. Our Green Pro service is based on the principles of IPM and our commitment to environmental stewardship.
