Two
brothers, Merlin and Lynn
Hopper, founded the business in 1963 that has become
Hopper Environmental Services. They realized
northern Arkansas had a need for customer-oriented pest
and termite management. They had one truck and set of equipment
and set to work serving businesses and residents in the
Twin Lakes area.
Their
unique brand of customer service allowed the company to
grow over time, and their two sons, Mark and David
Hopper, joined the business. Hopper Environmental Services
today employs more than 20 technicians and serves a wide
area in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri including
Fayetteville, Rogers, Springdale, Bentonville, Mountain
Home, Bull Shoals, Yellville, Mountain View, and Flippin.
In
2006, Dallas Hopper, David’s son,
graduated from the University of Arkansas and began to
manage the northwest region office of Hopper Environmental
Services. Dallas now works fulltime in the northwest region
office at Springdale, bringing the third generation of
Hoppers into management of the family business.
Commitment
to Customer Service
At Hopper Environmental Services, we understand
that our customers are looking for dependable, effective
solutions for their termite and pest problems. Our highly
trained technicians provide a range of services, from residential
to commercial and industrial, small to large buildings, that
eliminate termites and other pests.
Our
top priority is customer satisfaction. We understand you
have a busy schedule and will arrive on time, every time.
We
are dedicated to providing personal service to each customer.
We are large enough to meet any termite and pest control
need, but small enough to care about each job we do.
We
know many of our customers are concerned about the safety
of pest control. Because we are certified in both Missouri
and Arkansas -- two states with very different safety regulations,
we exceed each state's requirements. The bottom line: You
will not find a company more committed to your health
and safety in the area.
We
hope you will use our website as a resource as you make
a decision about how you will protect yourself, your family
and your business from termites and other pests, and then
select the company that puts your needs first, Hopper Environmental
Services.
Every
homeowner should consider the risks involved with not protecting
their investment from damage by termites and other pests.
We will be happy to discuss our services with you to find
a best fit to your needs.
