SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CERTUS has partnered with Smith's Pest Management (Smith's), a renowned pest control company servicing San Jose, Calif., and the Greater Silicon Valley area. This move marks CERTUS's first foray into Silicon Valley, helping expand its Bay Area coverage by bridging the southern gap between San Francisco and the East Bay. This partnership also ranks among the largest CERTUS has completed to date.
"Smith's Pest Management has an impeccable reputation in San Jose and Silicon Valley, which they've attained through their dedication to superb customer service and top-notch pest management," said Patrick Kelly, senior vice president of strategy at CERTUS.

With the Smith's partnership, CERTUS now has uninterrupted coverage around San Francisco Bay in the area stretching from San Francisco in the West down through Silicon Valley and up through the East Bay area through Oakland. Smith's will retain its name, branding, and San Jose office, while customers will immediately benefit from enhanced service offerings and additional resources through the CERTUS partnership.
