Rescue

Since 1982, we have pursued one thing: smarter pest control. At RESCUE!, it’s our goal to design, manufacture and market the safest, most effective pest control solutions available for homeowners. Our products are the result of exhaustive and ongoing research and development, decades of experience and a commitment to solutions that respect the environment without sacrificing results.

Our company was founded during a time when harmful chemicals and pesticides were still the norm for insect control. Founder and President Rod Schneidmiller spent the 1970s working on a farm in Eastern Washington and saw firsthand that haphazard spraying of harmful chemicals was unsafe and only marginally effective. In addition, the pesticides often wiped out beneficial insects like honeybees.

A reusable fly trap was the first product Schneidmiller developed. The plastic jar contained a powder attractant that dissolved in water and lured flies through holes in the lid. In an era where being “green” went against the grain, Schneidmiller was slightly ahead of his time.
