Bobby Jenkins

This ride is near and dear to my heart. I’m riding for two worthwhile, heartfelt charities AND getting to do it with my brothers, whom I love. It doesn’t get better than that.

ABC and Bobby Jenkins, were both founded in San Antonio, Texas. ABC in 1949, and Bobby, a few years later, in 1958. Bob Jenkins Sr., purchased the small pest control company in 1967 and built it into one of the largest pest control companies in Texas. Bobby Jenkins subsequently joined the company shortly after graduation from Texas A&M University in 1981 and began operating the Austin, Texas, office in 1983. However, Bobby will proudly say, ‘ABC is the only job I’ve ever had.’

While the “backbone” of ABC is pest control, ABC has become a diversified, multi-service company, and has established a mix of services unique to the service industry. The current, high quality roster of services includes: pest control, lawn services, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pool & spa and appliance repair.
