In the last six months, I have witnessed some remarkable acts of professionalism, compassion and generosity, consistently displayed by local exterminators and pest control companies; from across the United States. In fact, recently a number of exterminators demonstrated enormous leadership and responsibility, both in the pest management industry and their respective American communities. Here are some of the most prominent examples, from across the United States.
With the widespread panic associated with the American bed bug invasion of major U.S. cities,
exterminators in NYC are providing free bed bug control to needy families, who otherwise could not afford to properly treat; their unwanted bed bug invasion. Demonstrating a clear concern for the relentless invasion of the blood sucking pests, and whole-hearted regard for the safety of local residents, these exterminators are true leaders in the battle against bed bugs.
The public's increased awareness and concern for the environment, has prompted a family-owned pest control company in Arizona, to apply green strategies to it's own pest control services. Their innovative approach to exterminating local pest problems, includes the implementation of proprietary software, which is said to improve efficiency; and promote a paperless billing system. To further support the green approach on a company-wide basis,
Bulwark Pest Control bought their exterminators smart-phones for Christmas; as well.
In a small village in South Carolina, a 240 year old church and beloved local landmark, has become the victim of a termite invasion. Although the surrounding structures are primarily constructed of stone, the wood supports, etc.; could easily fall victim to destructive termite invaders. Wasting little time in addressing the problem, a local exterminator donated his expertise and company's pest control services, to save the church for the future enjoyment of his congregation and community.
In most cases, people's thoughts of pests, pest control or an exterminator, might conjure-up frightening or unfavorable thoughts, memories or images. However, these remarkable acts of local generosity and industry leadership, have demonstrated the unseen dedication; of many pest control professionals. Their actions have shown us that it isn't always about "exterminating" pest problems with pest management companies, in many cases it is about "preventing" them too.
