The Potomac Company is pleased to announce the acquisition of its client Last Bite Mosquito Control and its sister company Total Home Pest Control by Viking Termite & Pest Control, an Anticimex company. By bringing together the expertise and resources of both companies, Viking Pest Control is poised to offer an unparalleled level of service excellence, innovative solutions, and customer satisfaction in the pest control industry across the mid-Atlantic.

Last Bite Mosquito Control is family-owned and operated by twin brothers Jason and Jeremy Julio with headquarters in Red Bank, New Jersey. Jason and Jeremy built the company in 2013 and grew its one-truck operation to a 40+ truck business with thousands of loyal customers. Last Bite Mosquito Control is known for its cutting-edge mosquito control providing mosquito-free and tick-free homes and businesses across eight counties in the state of New Jersey.

In 2017, Jeremy and Jason launched sister company Total Home Pest Control offering pest and termite control services to residential homes and commercial properties including hotels, restaurants, outdoor spaces, and industrial and office buildings. Total Home Pest Control ensures homeowners receive the highest quality pest management services available, and with the backing of Last Bite Mosquito Control, a full pest control service to its customers.

Margo Rappel joined Last Bite Mosquito Control and Total Home Pest Control as operations manager with 30 years of sales and marketing experience along with many accolades and achievements. Soon, she undertook the responsibility of managing the day-to-day operations of the office while overseeing the growth of the businesses. She became an incredible asset to the company with her intense focus and dedication.

With the addition of Last Bite Mosquito Control and Total Home Pest Control to its portfolio, Viking Pest Control will expand its geographic reach and service coverage ensuring that customers across the region have access to the industry’s best pest management practices. Last Bite Mosquito Control and Total Home Pest Control remain committed to its core values of excellence, integrity, and customer-centric service. Viking Pest Control’s expansion through these acquisitions represents a significant step towards achieving its vision of becoming a leading pest control provider in the industry.

Co-owner of Last Bite Mosquito Control and Total Home Pest Control Jason Julio commented, “As we pass the torch to new hands, our commitment to exceptional service will continue under new leadership. We remain dedicated to protecting homes from pests and mosquitoes. We’ll forever cherish the memories, challenges, triumphs, and strong bonds we’ve formed with each one of our customers.”

Operations Manager of Last Bite Mosquito Control and Total Home Pest Control, Margo Rappel, added, “It has been terrific working alongside Jason, Jeremy, and our dedicated team at Last Bite and Total Home.  We look forward to seeing the expansion of the Last Bite brand under new leadership.”
