Our Story: Protecting North Carolina Families Since 1974
H&H Pest Control and Waterproofing is a family-owned pest control company based in Shelby, North Carolina.
Founded in 1974, H&H has served the Cleveland, Gaston, Rutherford, and Lincoln county areas for over 50 years. What started with one partner and two employees — and a belief that neighbors deserved honest, effective pest control — has grown into one of western North Carolina's most trusted home service companies.
The company employs approximately 25 full-time technicians, many of whom have been with the company for over 20 years. That kind of longevity is rare in any industry. It speaks to a workplace culture built on loyalty, respect, and the quiet pride of doing a job right — the same values that have kept H&H customers coming back for generations.
H&H President Allen Langley is a second-generation owner who took over in 1986. He actively serves on the North Carolina Structural Pest Control Committee, helping to shape safe and effective pest control practices state-wide. Under his leadership, H&H has maintained the same commitment to community service that his father established half a century ago.
"One Call Does It All"
Our tagline isn't just a slogan — it's a promise. From routine pest control to specialized termite treatments and complex foundation waterproofing, we have the expertise to protect your entire home under one roof. You shouldn't need three contractors to solve one problem. We use hospital-safe products that are cleared for use in healthcare facilities, daycares, and nursing homes, ensuring the safety of your family and pets.
Rooted in Western North Carolina
We're not a national franchise. We're your neighbors. The same communities we serve are the communities where we live, worship, coach youth sports, and send our kids to school. When you call H&H, you're calling someone who has a stake in your neighborhood, not just a service ticket to close.
That local accountability shapes everything we do — from the way our technicians treat your home as if it were their own, to the fact that our owner is personally reachable when something isn't right. In 50 years, we've never lost sight of who we're working for.
