John L. Cook founded the company in 1928 as "North Alabama Termite Control" and provided its foundational integrity. After his death in 1950, his son John R. Cook felt compelled to honor his father's five-year termite guarantees - and gave up a promising career in architecture to help Cook's become America's eighth-largest pest control company.
John R. Cook was a Georgia Tech graduate who greatly advanced the science of pest control. In the early 1950s, he changed the company's name to Cook's Pest Control. John R. Cook added pest control service to the business and thus the name Cook's Pest Control was born. In 1965, a Huntsville, Alabama television station asked Cook's to sponsor a children's program.
John R. Cook, a master marketer, suggested a Keystone Cop-style policeman as the host. Cook's employee Jim Kearney soon became "Cookie the Cop"-a character that was comical and friendly, yet personified the protection that Cook's provided its customers. Cookie the Cop quickly became not just the company mascot, but also part of its colorful logo.
