Things aren't always as they seem... I often hear how "lovely" the usual pest control technician is, but if we dig a little deeper the job they are actually paid to do isn't always as good as their chat. If you are paying for a pest control service, then you should expect the highest quality on every visit. Sadly, standards can vary wildly from technician to technician. This box was marked as inspected just last week - I think we can safely assume that it hasn't been inspected this year! Next time your "lovely" technician is due a service visit, maybe tag along and make sure they are doing what you are paying them for - that's not too much to ask now is it? If you suspect the service isn't up to scratch, then I'd be happy to call in FREE of charge to give you an honest appraisal of your current contractor's standards - and if they are good I'd be only to happy to tell you so! www.mdcenvironmental.co.uk

Ever wondered what a pest control technician does? 🤔 Meet Jessica Olsson! ”My current job as a pest control technician is the perfect match for me. I like meeting new people and spending time at the first on-site visit, doing a thorough inspection to get a deeper understanding of the root cause to the customer's problem. Rats are intelligent creatures and to outsmart them you need to be very clever! Using SMART means receiving real-time data on my cell phone about pest movements and catches. This data helps me get much better control of the situation.” Follow us and learn about exciting opportunities at Anticimex! #PestControlTechnician #PestControl #SmartPestControl #Anticimex #PestManagement

Let’s get dirty and inspect,inspect,inspect. Gibran Strachan and I went out in the field a few days ago to assist on a route and well you can say we did a pretty good job When completing any pest control service you must INSPECT, prior to any application. Never become a baseboard “spraying” company,identify the pest firstly and follow your companies SOP for control measures. No job is complete without a full inspection

It's time for another Pest Control in Action episode! This time we hit the road with Pest Technician Scott as he conducts an annual termite inspection. 🔎 We begin the inspection indoors, combing through every nook and cranny of the house. 🏠 We then move into the roof void to check for indications of termite intrusion, or damage caused by other pests. 🪵 We then shift focus to the exterior of the property, where Scott inspects all external walls and piles of wood. ✅ Fortunately, no signs of termite activity or damage were detected, giving the homeowner peace of mind until the next termite inspection in 12 months.

Through these challenges, we truly evolve and become more wholesome professionals. Remember, the journey of self-improvement is ongoing. Let's foster an environment that encourages questions, embraces curiosity, and celebrates the spirit of learning.
