Problem solving has a long heritage at PF Harris. In 1924, two years after its founding, the company tackled the Calvin Coolidge White House, which had been overrun for years by roaches and water bugs. Harris’s product was so successful in eliminating the scourge that he was described on the front page of the Washington Times as a "vermin slayer" who had just fought a decisive, winning battle with a horde of cockroaches that infested the lower regions of the executive mansion. Over the course of the next few months, Harris took “his final feast” to dozens of government buildings, including the Senate Office Building, the Department of Justice, the Supreme Court, and Walter Reed Hospital. Success followed success: each superintendent of the various buildings was highly satisfied with the results. The company today stays nimble enough to respond to changing market demands, leading the way in the development of numerous products, including natural insect repellents like Swamp Gator.
