Peppermint Pest Control
is hereby recognized as a
TOP GUN Professional Business!
Heather Williamson & Rylie Johnson, you are considered champion business owners for building and managing Peppermint Pest Control, a pest control company in Maricopa.
Small businesses are the backbone of the United States economy.
The owners of these small businesses are entrepreneurs who take financial and operational risks, create employment opportunities, and contribute their creativity and ingenuity to the overall commerce of their local communities. They work long hours, endure challenging times, and often make personal sacrifices to build something meaningful and lasting.
In Scottsdale, Arizona, two determined female entrepreneurs are doing exactly that — while reshaping an entire industry along the way.
Peppermint Pest Control, founded by Heather Williamson and Rylie Johnson, is a woman-owned pest control company serving Maricopa County with a refreshing and empowering mission. As the primary decision-makers in their own households, Heather and Rylie experienced firsthand the frustrations many homeowners face — high-pressure sales tactics, service agreements that were difficult to cancel, and pest control plans that did not always live up to their promises once contracts were signed.
Rather than accept that as the norm, they decided to become the decision-makers in the industry itself — proudly stepping into the role of what they call the “Pest Control Queens.”
Their company is built on three defining principles:
• Female leadership and ownership in a traditionally male-dominated field
• Transparent service without restrictive contracts
• 100% plant-derived pest control products
Peppermint Pest Control uses only plant-derived solutions — no harsh synthetic chemical programs. Their approach reflects the values that matter to many families today: effective pest management combined with thoughtful product selection and environmental awareness.
Heather and Rylie wanted to build a company they would personally trust in their own homes. That meant clear communication, honest service plans, flexible options, and treatments derived from plants rather than conventional chemical-heavy applications.
Our research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, identified Peppermint Pest Control as a business that is appreciated by its customers and provides valuable services to the community.
The company’s continued success speaks to the dedication, perseverance, and leadership of Heather Williamson and Rylie Johnson as they overcome the many obstacles and barriers that are part and parcel of business ownership. Building a business in a competitive industry is no small task — and doing so while breaking industry norms makes their achievement even more commendable.
We take this moment to acknowledge and thank Heather Williamson and Rylie Johnson for their past, present, and future contributions to Maricopa County.
Heather Williamson and Rylie Johnson, you are highly commended and appreciated for being business owners and for boldly playing — and elevating — the business owner game in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Peppermint Pest Control is currently accepting customers for its plant-derived pest control services.
Very Well Done Heather Williamson & Rylie Johnson!
