Meet the Team Behind A Grade Nevada
At A Grade Nevada, pest control is more than a service—it’s a commitment to safe, science-based solutions that protect people, pets, and the environment.
Founded by John and Rachael Harris and supported by Brand and Marketing Director Diana Palladino, our team blends hands-on field expertise, animal behavior science, and thoughtful communication to deliver real results.
From inspections to outreach, we work together to make pest management smarter, safer, and rooted in long-term prevention—not just quick fixes. When you choose A Grade, you’re not just hiring a company—you’re partnering with a team that genuinely cares.
John M. Harris III – Founder & Field Strategy Director
As the founder of A Grade Nevada, John brings a grounded, science-forward approach to everything we do in the field. With over a decade of hands-on experience and certification in animal behavior, he blends practical expertise with a deep respect for the ecosystems we work in. His background as the lead trainer at Las Vegas Dog Yard adds a unique layer to his perspective—emphasizing observation, behavior, and long-term change over quick fixes.
At A Grade, John leads field operations and technician training, ensuring every inspection is thorough and every strategy is thoughtful. He works closely with Rachael to design solutions that are not only effective, but also safe for families, pets, and the planet. His approach reflects the heart of the company: do it right, do it responsibly, and treat every client like a partner.
When he’s not on a job site, you’ll likely find him working with dogs or tracking the latest field trends to keep A Grade a step ahead.
Rachael Harris – CEO & IPM Program Director
Rachael leads A Grade Nevada with a clear mission: to make pest management smarter, safer, and more human. As CEO and the creative force behind the brand, she combines her background in animal care, environmental health, and education to build solutions rooted in science and empathy. Whether she’s crafting service protocols, guiding client experiences, or designing community education tools, her goal is always the same—put people, pets, and the planet first.
She also owns Las Vegas Dog Yard with John, where their shared values of observation, respect, and behavior-based learning carry into every aspect of their work. At A Grade, Rachael oversees IPM program development, marketing, and client engagement, and is the creator behind our mascot, Inspector A Grade—turning complex pest science into something everyone can understand.
Outside of A Grade, Rachael is an advocate for humane, sustainable living—and a proud foster mom to a revolving crew of rescued dogs.

Our Full Range of Services
Farm & Backyard Pest Control
Protect your chickens, goats, and other small livestock with targeted, property-specific pest management. Our team focuses on pests that impact animal health, comfort, and the cleanliness of your farm environment. We use safe, effective methods to prevent outbreaks and help you maintain a healthy, balanced space for your animals.
Targeted Weed Control Services
We apply targeted herbicide treatments to manage unwanted vegetation around structures, fence lines, and hardscapes. Our weed control services support your overall pest management program by reducing harborage areas and keeping properties clean and compliant. Ideal for commercial and large residential properties looking to maintain a polished, pest-resistant environment.
Aquatic Feature Pest Management
We provide targeted pest control for the areas surrounding ponds, lakes, and other aquatic features—not maintenance of the water itself. Our services focus on managing insects that breed in or near water, such as mosquitoes and midges, and controlling nuisance wildlife like geese and ducks that can damage landscapes and contribute to sanitation issues. These treatments help protect surrounding vegetation, reduce pest populations, and prevent the spread of pests into nearby structures or communal areas.
Eco-Balance Pest Control
Protect your property without disrupting the environment. Our eco-balance pest control focuses on targeted treatments that eliminate harmful pests while preserving beneficial species and supporting local ecosystems. Ideal for large properties, farmyards, and natural landscapes that require mindful, non-invasive pest management.
HOA Compliance Services
We help HOA communities stay compliant, pest-free, and inspection-ready. Our team provides proactive treatments, detailed reporting, and reliable scheduling to meet association standards without disrupting daily operations. From common areas to perimeter treatments, we work closely with property managers and boards to prevent violations and maintain a clean, healthy environment for residents.
Long-Term Pest Strategies
We don't follow a calendar—we follow conditions. Our long-term pest strategies are built on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles that prioritize prevention over routine spraying. Every property is different, which is why we tailor our approach to the specific needs of your site-monitoring pest activity, adjusting treatments as needed, and reducing reliance on chemicals. Ideal for commercial and large residential properties, this method delivers consistent, documentable results while keeping your space protected, compliant, and under control year-round.
Trusted by Kitchens. Built for Compliance.
In food facilities, there's no margin for error. Our pest control services are tailored for commercial kitchens and prep areas where cleanliness, compliance, and discretion are critical. We use targeted, low-impact treatments based on IPM principles to prevent infestations and reduce risk. From back-of-house to waste enclosures, we help you stay ahead of violations and protect your operation without disrupting service.
Animal-Focused Pest Management
Veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, groomers, and shelters require a higher standard of pest control-both for safety and sanitation. We use discreet, pet-safe treatments tailored to the unique needs of animal care environments. Our IPM approach targets pest activity in critical areas like sanitation zones, exam rooms, kennels, and outdoor runs-without disrupting operations or exposing animals to unnecessary chemicals. We help maintain a clean, compliant facility trusted by clients, staff, and inspectors alike.
Health District Compliance Services
A pest problem during an inspection can lead to fines, shutdowns, and long-term damage to your brand. We help you avoid all three. Our team delivers SNHD- compliant pest control with discreet scheduling, detailed documentation, and proactive treatment of high-risk areas like kitchens and dumpsters. We work before opening or after hours to stay off your customer's radar-because protecting your reputation matters. When issues arise, we're the team inspectors trust and recommend to get things handled quietly and professionally.
Warehouse & Distribution Center Pest Control
In high-volume environments like warehouses and grocery distribution centers, pest issues can compromise entire inventories-and reputations. We design pest control programs that work with the way your facility runs, not against it. From dock doors to storage racks, we focus on prevention, monitoring, and discreet treatments that keep operations moving and products protected. Whether you're managing regular audits or shipping nationally, we help you stay compliant, clean, and confidently in control.
Transport & Fumigation Services (Coming Soon)
We know the pest control demands of the transportation industry-trailers, containers, and freight hubs all carry risk. Our upcoming transportation and fumigation programs are being developed to meet those exact challenges. These services will be designed to support logistics operations, cross-dock facilities, and regulated cargo environments where precision and compliance matter most. Stay tuned as we expand our capabilities to serve this critical sector.
