Dick Parker performed much of his research at the home office and captured wild rats and mice to develop a better rat bait. The bait contained all "food grade" products which resulted in better acceptance from rodents. After seeing the excellent results using it in the Pest Control Business, Parker decided to market Parker Rat Bait Wholesale and Retail.
After starting and running the business out of the home for a few years, Parker bought an office and warehouse building on North 14th in Ponca City OK.

Parker invented a Lawn Spray applicator that could be used in Oklahoma's High Wind without the risk of the herbicides drifting onto desirable plants and causing damage.	Tree and Shrub spraying Was a specialty business that helped the company grow.
In the beginning, Parker used primarily part time college help in the busy season.
After starting and running the business out of the home for a few years, Parker bought an office and warehouse building on North 14th in Ponca City OK.	In the late 60's Parker tried selling retail products out of the office on 14th street.
