Bio
Tim Whitt is an author, entrepreneur, and operations-minded leader with 45 years of experience in the pest control industry—30 in corporate leadership and 15 building his own thriving company from the ground up.
Tim began his career at 18, starting as a service technician and working his way through sales, operations, and management at a large corporate pest control company. During that time, he earned a Six Sigma Black Belt and gained firsthand experience with nearly every role a business owner is likely to face. He didn’t just learn pest control—he learned people.
In 2010, once his children were raised, Tim founded Pied Piper Pest, Termite & Lawn Service in Eufaula, Oklahoma. Applying three decades of corporate lessons from day one, he grew Pied Piper into a prevention-first, relationship-driven service brand now operating across Oklahoma and Texas. The company maintains a 4.9-star reputation with over 800 customer reviews, with growth driven almost entirely by referrals—not advertising. Pied Piper offers more than ten distinct service lines, including pest control, termite treatment, lawn care, wildlife relocation, and commercial services, supported by a team with over 100 years of combined industry experience.
Tim’s leadership philosophy is simple: behavior follows incentives, and incentives follow systems. That belief powers his debut book, Infested: End Workplace Drama, Stop Toxic Employees, Build a Thriving Small Business, which uses pest behavior as a sharp, funny metaphor for the people problems that plague small service businesses. The book gives owners practical tools to spot damaging behaviors early, set expectations without micromanaging, and build the kind of team culture where results show up without being chased.
Now expanding Pied Piper into a franchise model, Tim is focused on creating pathways for employees and entrepreneurs to achieve their own business and financial freedom—because, as he puts it, “real leadership isn’t about holding the door open—it’s about handing someone the keys.”
Based in southeastern Oklahoma, Tim lives with his wife of 44 years, Cindy—his steady partner through every season of business. When he’s not writing, he’s refining service delivery, training leaders, and helping owners build companies that thrive on systems, not heroics.
