BLADENBORO — Down East Pest Control has opened at 130 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

Jeremy and Emily Dowless are the owners.

“This is our first store front, but we wanted to have an established location that customers could come in and ask questions, as well as catch some foot traffic for people who might not know us,” Jeremy Dowless said. “It felt like a good place, since I’m from here and grew up here.

“Our No. 1 goal is to provide a good quality service, at a good price, and help the community however we can.”

An official ribbon cutting was held last week.

Dowless said the company is licensed in both North and South Carolina.
