Do you run into Vons, grab a cart and see Escalera Pest Control on the AD space? Do you see their trucks drive through town? Or spot a house tented with an Escalera sign posted nearby? Well, that company is owned and operated by none other than the Swetman family (Fred & Heather), which has been an asset in Fillmore as long as I have been here and long before that. I first met Heather when our young sons attended Sonshine Preschool. From business, kids’ activities, 4H, and philanthropic efforts, you will find them throughout our community, possibly with a grandkid in tow. Escalera Pest Control serves Santa Barbara, Ventura and L.A. Counties and is known for their excellent service. And they give free estimates (escalerapest.com / 805-920-8842)! Tell them Hi next time you see them, and wave when they ride their horses in a parade or have a set-up at Trunk or Treat.
