About Battle Creek Patterdales

Family-Owned. Veteran-Owned. Driven by Purpose.

At Battle Creek Patterdales, we're more than just a pest control company. We're a family-owned, veteran-owned business proudly serving Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., with effective, professional pest management solutions.

Our story began in 1981, when Dennis Heflin founded the company with a commitment to providing honest, dependable service to his community. As a United States Marine Corps veteran with a background in K9 law enforcement, Dennis brought his dedication, discipline, and passion for working dogs into the pest control industry. What started as a commitment to serving the local community has grown into a trusted business built on decades of hands-on experience.

Today, Dennis works alongside his son, Lance Heflin, continuing the family's tradition of exceptional service while combining traditional pest management with specialized K9 rat elimination.

From residential properties to large commercial facilities, we take pride in delivering personalized solutions, honest assessments, and dependable results. More than four decades later, our mission remains the same: to protect our customers, serve our communities, and treat every property with the same care and respect we would our own.
