EcoShield Pest Solutions Opens New Branch in Indiana

PORTAGE, Ind. — EcoShield Pest Solutions has expanded into Northwest Indiana, opening a new pest control branch in Portage, Ind.

The company said the new branch is led by General Manager LaBraun Thigpen, a pest management professional with six years of industry experience. Thigpen joined EcoShield to help build the branch from the ground up and establish a strong local team focused on customer service.

"What excites me most is the opportunity to build something meaningful with a great team," Thigpen said. "We want to be known for quality service, consistency and integrity."

According to Regional Manager Steve Gaffney, Northwest Indiana was a natural fit for EcoShield's continued growth in the Greater Chicago area.

"Northwest Indiana gives us the opportunity to expand our service area while maintaining the customer experience and culture EcoShield is known for," said Gaffney.

As part of its expansion, EcoShield said it is actively building a team of local professionals to serve Northwest Indiana customers. Thigpen said hiring people who understand the community is a key part of the branch's long-term vision.

"The people serving our customers are the foundation of everything we do," said Thigpen.

In addition to providing pest management services, the branch plans to become actively involved in the local community through volunteer efforts, charitable initiatives and partnerships with local organizations.

"We want to be more than a service provider," said Thigpen. "We want to be a positive part of the Northwest Indiana community."
