In 1910 William Albert Flick, a dairy farmer, created a chemical compound that would control termites. His process and product were effective enough to found his own pest control business in 1918: called W.A. Flick & Co, later known as Flick Pest Control. Flick Anticimex was then established in Sweden at 1934 during a time when approximately half of Swedish homes were infested with bed bugs.
