Known as the “Termite Lady,” Sue Fries has been an advocate for green pest control methods for nearly four decades. Sue’s motivation was a personal one: Her son battled a chronic asthma condition, driving her quest to rid her home of toxins. In 2000, she took the helm of Ecola Termite and Pest Control as owner and president. Since then, Sue has expanded Ecola to several offices across Southern California and advised numerous organizations including the Pest Control Operators of California, United Against Indoor Pollution, and Indoor Allergen Control Network.
“Having devoted decades to the pest control industry, it’s incredibly rewarding to be recognized. “When I first began advocating for eco-friendly pest control treatments, not many people were talking about the need for alternate methods, or the impact of conventional pest control on the environment, animals and people — particularly those who are chemically sensitive or immunocompromised,”’ she added: “At Ecola, we’re incredibly proud to offer those options to Southern California residents and businesses.”
In recent years, Sue has also amassed dozens of awards and features on the Discovery Channel, History Channel, America Now, LA Destinations, and more, including:
