Hi! I’m Samuel Lucas.

Pest control to me is not just about exterminating bugs, but sharing tips so we can all live pest-free together

I’m Samuel Lucas – the pest extermination expert behind Pests Planner. Bugs are my sworn enemies. After dealing with a severe bed bug infestation in my Phoenix home, I became obsessed with learning effective, ethical pest control techniques.

I spent over 5 years studying entomology and working alongside top exterminators before launching Pests Planner. I’m a certified pest control technician and member of the National Pest Management Association.

On my blog, I share the best pest removal tips and methods I’ve learned through extensive training and real-world experience. My advice helps DIYers banish bugs safely and affordably using eco-friendly products.

When I’m not writing comprehensive pest guides you’ll find me hiking around town with my dogs, Rufus and Zoe.

With my background in the industry, I can guarantee my DIY pest control advice works – and is safe for your family.
