About P F HARRIS MFG CO LLC

Company Profile 

P.F. Harris established P F Harris Mfg Co Llc in 1922. Two years after its inception, in 1924, the business tackled the Calvin Coolidge White House, which roaches and water bugs had plagued for years. Harris's product was so effective at eradicating the infestation that the Washington Times referred to him as a "vermin slayer" who had recently defeated a swarm of cockroaches that had taken over the Executive Mansion's lower levels. Harris visited other federal facilities over the course of the following few months with "his final feast," including the Senate Office Building, the Department of Justice, the Supreme Court, and Walter Reed Hospital. Success came after success. Each building's superintendent expressed great satisfaction with the outcomes. The business is still quick enough to adapt to the shifting needs of the market and is a pioneer in creating several goods, such as natural insect repellents like Swamp Gator and Swamp Gnat that deter biting insects without the use of deet.

The Beginning 

In the 1920s, the company's founder, P. F. Harris, an entomologist, while waging a personal war with roaches, had an idea: Why not lure the bug to the insecticide rather than applying an insecticide to it as is customary? This epiphany led him to create Harris Roach Chow, an innovative mixture of sugar, flour, a unique bait to draw the creatures in, and a significant amount of boric acid to destroy them. The mixture was strong enough to get rid of the roaches while being harmless around people. One hundred years later, it is still a valuable weapon for the PF Harris Manufacturing Co. The company is a pioneer in pest management. It is currently America's oldest EPA-registered business, operating under new ownership. The brand provides more than 150 products, ranging from organic fish fertilizer to roach control. The company’s top products include bed bug killer, insect killer, Killer Weed RTU Liquid, to name a few. 

Triumph at the White House 

At PF Harris, problem-solving has a long history. Two years after its founding, the brand took on the Calvin Coolidge White House, which had been invaded by roaches and water bugs for years. Harris visited other government facilities over the course of the following few months with "his final feast," including the Senate Office Building, the Department of Justice, the Supreme Court, and Walter Reed Hospital. Today, the brand is adaptable enough to respond to shifting consumer expectations, paving the door for creating several goods, such as disinfectant cleaners marketed to fight SARS-related Coronavirus. In addition to the things it sells, the brand can assist clients in locating quick and affordable solutions through educational internet videos, informative labeling, and individualized and expert guidance.  

Customer Drives Expansion 

P F Harris Mfg Co Llc's expansion has been fueled by its dealers and customers. The business was founded on roach killers, but as it learned that foreign tourists had unwittingly imported the pests, a market for its products had opened up in towns with international airports. The brand rapidly discovered a market for bed bugs. Even taxis transporting those tourists to hotels in the city center would use its products to treat their vehicles for bed bugs. PF Harris has served the do-it-yourselfer looking for practical answers to their pest problems throughout its history. That strategy has been as effective as the first roach tablet, which is still available. PF Harris has been sustained and extended because of the team's dedication and vision, and it is still a household name for millions of homes.
