William Botts Termite/Wildlife Sales Supervisor

Husband to Mary Beth Botts and father to Dakota, Mason, and Grace. I was born and raised in Cherokee County. Growing up across the street from the Holly Springs fire department gave me early dreams of service work. I married my high school sweetheart in 1998. For the next eight years, I worked in management. In 2005 I volunteered time to serve in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. God broke my heart for the broken heart as I shoveled the lives and dreams of the community into trash bags.

I had a renewed desire and calling to serve people. I moved my family to five different states and a foreign country over the next eight years, as I trained to serve others. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Intercultural Studies and biblical ministries at Tennessee Temple University before serving as a missionary for two years in Argentina. My family and faith are my core values. I incorporate them into all that I do. Being part of the Canton Termite & Pest Control team allows me to live my passion, loving and serving others.

Nicholas Alday/ Pest control service

I grew up in the New Orleans area, where I was highly active in 4H and the Boy Scouts of America, with whom I earned the rank of Eagle Scout. I moved to Georgia in 2005, and a few years after that I met my wife while we were in college. We got married in 2015 and now have a daughter who I hope to pass my lifelong love of entomology and herpetology. Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new, and I always strive to do so.

trails, fishing, and exploring together while making lasting memories. Jesse takes great pride in his work and values the relationships he builds with both customers and colleagues, always striving to provide service that is dependable, knowledgeable, and genuinely personable.
