J.F. Oakes, LLC

As a salesman of termite and rodent control products for a major chemical manufacturer for 26 years, Jim Oakes worked closely with both industry distributors and pest control companies all over the southeast. Recognizing a need for product lines specifically designed for the pest control industry, in May 1989, Jim Oakes founded J.F. Oakes Sales & Marketing. With his experience and knowledge of termites and treatments, the first lines Jim introduced were drill bits and spray hoses. Sheffield Masonry Drill Bits was designed with emphasis on using high quality European steel for durability and a full selection of shanks, diameters and lengths commonly used by pest control companies. Chemtrol, now known as Chemoak was designed with consideration to chemical resistance, safety factors, working pressures, flexibility and ease of use.
