Our History

Commonwealth Exterminating Co., Inc. was founded by husband and wife team Johnny Newell and Terrie Harper in 1999. Later, their son Cory Newell joined the team. The company was started with and has stayed true to a Christian faith-based philosophy to treat their customers as they would want to be treated.

Johnny’s decades in the pest control industry combined with Terrie’s background in communications and Cory’s education and career in church management come together to create a dynamic team that is focused on connecting with and serving clients. To that end, Cory has created an educational outreach program named “Commonwealth Cares” where he is able to use his God-given talents of training and outreach to help housing managers connect the dots between pest control and practical living. This program has landed Cory on local news networks to talk about how the program helps the underserved neighborhoods in our communities.

While the Commonwealth team has grown far beyond Johnny, Terrie and Cory, the company remains committed to establishing long-term, positive relationships through serving the needs of individuals and the surrounding Hampton Roads communities using their time, talents, and resources.
