The Bell family has been in the Sacramento area since 1958 where Melvin C. Bell started his dental practice in Elk Grove and practiced there for over 43 years. He instilled in his children the philosophy to be honest and smart hard workers. He also encouraged them to be their own bosses and go into business for themselves. Because of his encouragement family businesses today include Bell Pest Control, Bell Bros. Heating and Air, Pizza Bell, Bella Studios Photography, and Bell Tasty Foods.

Bell Pest Control has been family owned and operated since 1978. In July of that year Dale Bell started Bell Pest Control in Elk Grove at the young age of 20. Dale and his wife Laurie worked from their home as a team, while they raised their young family. They are now the proud parents of six children and three grandchildren.

Through the years Dale perfected his business and has always been dedicated to superior service and customer relations. He expects nothing but the best work ethic, honesty, integrity and great attitudes from his team and this shows in the quality people that he employees. Dale has turned over much of the responsibility of running the business to two of his children, Brian and Tammy. Although Dale is still involved in Bell Pest Control, he now spends most of his time helping people with their finances and achieving their dreams.
