Consumer & Professional Pest Control products.
Founded in 1932 by Jasper T. Eaton, the company started as a mail order house for pest control products for professional use.
Stanley Z. Baker purchased the company in 1949. Never satisfied, Stanley developed new and innovative products for professional pest control operators.
In 1962 Stanley invented the paraffin bait block which is the industry standard today.
Again in 1979 Stanley developed the first glue board as we know them today. Before that, some professionals used the radiators of their cars to melt industrial glue and spread the glue across wood planks or tar paper.
Since then, J.T. Eaton has gone on to create innovative products for the pest control industry as well as the retail industry. Most recently J.T. Eaton launched an extremely successful Bed Bug program, Top Loader bait stations, green light flying insect catchers and EPA Compliant Bait Options.
2012 is J.T. Eaton's 80th anniversary and will celebrate with many promotions to thank our customers and staff.
J.T. Eaton is a family-run business that offers a complete line of products designed to help pest management professionals provide quality service to their customers. All J.T. Eaton products are available in a variety of sizes, when applicable, to fit the needs of any firm. J.T. Eaton also commits to quality products with the integrated pest management (IPM) strategy in mind.
To honor the man behind J.T. Eaton's success as a rodenticide and integrated pest management equipment leader, the Twinsburg-based manufacturer has begun the Stanley Z. Baker Philanthropic Program.
Baker, a 1999 Pest Control Industry Hall of Fame inductee, purchased J.T. Eaton in 1949 with a $2,500 loan he took against his insurance policy. Before his death in 2005 at the age of 87, he built it up to a multi-million-dollar company, pioneering such products as Eaton's Bait Blocks, the first commercial paraffin-based rodent formula, in the 1950s. In 1980, Baker created Stick-Em Glue traps and worked tirelessly in improving rodent stations. In 1999, he helped patent an ant and roach product that used just 1 percent of boric acid.
Today, the company is run by Baker's sons, Ben and Bart. Bart Baker's son, Dale, recently joined the team this year to continue the tradition for a third generation.
In addition to J.T. Eaton, Stanley Baker owned Scent-Off Corp. in his retirement years in Florida.
"He was always interested in industry innovation and helping others," notes Dale Baker, who helped his grandfather with the Scent-Off business until it was sold in late 2005. "I believe he would be pleased with what we are trying to accomplish with this program."
The program is intended to serve two purposes: One is to create scholarships for college students looking to enter the professional pest management industry, and the other is to team with pest management professionals to help make charitable product donations and treatment. For example, a PMP wanting to help a non-profit organization with a rodent infestation free of charge could put in a request through the Stanley Z. Baker Philanthropic Program for donated product.
To learn more about the scholarship program or a donation request, please contact Dale Baker at 800-321-3421 or db@jteaton.com.
