Dena Thomas - General Manager - Aiken Location

Dena Thomas grew up in the Northwest – Washington, Oregon, Montana and Alaska. After finishing high school she moved to Michigan to go to college and ended up working for a wholesale oil company. In 1995 she moved down south to Augusta where she worked for another company in the same industry.

In 1995, she began working for Advanced Services in the Augusta office, handing the termite department. After living in the North most of her life, she was completely unfamiliar with bugs, so she attended lots of training, and took Purdue University’s Pest Management training course. She wanted to acquire as much knowledge in this new industry as she could, in order to become as much of an asset as possible.

In 1998 when Pat VanHooser took over the position as general manager, Dena became the Aiken branch manager. In 2001 Jeff Annis asked Dena if she would like to become part owner of the South Carolina division of the company. The answer was a quick, “yes”. After having worked for Jeff for almost 6 years, she had become part of the Annis family tradition for excellence in service and community support, and was ready to take on more responsibility.

Ownership has it’s challenges, but having the support of Jeff and Pat’s wealth of experience has made the transition much easier. Dena continues to promote the Annis family tradition to the community of South Carolina.
