ALLENTOWN – Brenda “Luna” Fernandez of Allentown has purchased All Affordable Pest Control at 630 Hanover Avenue from owner, Macho Velez. Fernandez said she believes she is the first Latina woman to own a pest control business at least in the greater Lehigh Valley area.

Jeff Barber of Lehigh Financial Group LLC in Allentown helped arrange the financing so that Fernandez could purchase the business from Velez, who is a friend. The purchase price was not disclosed. The business is 20 years old and well-established in the community.

Fernandez, who had previously owned a cleaning business, said she plans no changes to the pest control business other than to expand it. “Everything will stay the same,” she said. “Nothing changes but the bosses.”

Fernandez said she learned the business was for sale when Velez talked to her about retiring and they were excited to make the transition. Barber is confident that Fernandez’s business background will contribute to the continued success and growth of All Affordable Pest Control.
