When I arrived at Western Exterminator I was a newbie to the pest management industry. I knew not to get my hand to close to a snap trap and that ants were more than just invaders of picnic baskets, but that is where my pest management knowledge pretty much ended.

What I did have, however, was my top hat, my handy mallet and most importantly a strong interest to learn the skills on how to become the best pest management professional possible.

And most of my talented colleagues at Western Exterminator start their careers with the company much like I did – from the ground up, always learning, living up to our mission of delivering exceptional customer service each and every day, and displaying a keen acumen for killing pests!

While we attract team members from a variety of backgrounds, recommendations from current employees serve as our best recruiting tool. Did you know we have many 3rd and even 4th generations of the same families here at Western? A tip of my top hat to that!

No matter how or from where they arrive, they are welcomed into the Western “family” and learn from day one that customer satisfaction is the top priority, and that learning never stops. That’s the key to our success. We are always staying abreast of the proven newest technologies in problem pest solutions.

In fact, I learn something new almost every day when I am around our talented technicians and entomologists. Just recently, Honey, our expert bed bug detecting canine shared some really interesting stuff on how to find bed bugs. Let’s just say she has a real nose for her job.

Do you have questions about what it takes to join the Western family? If so, I want to hear them. You can send me an e-mail at AskMrLittle@WesternExterminator.com. I’ll be sure to get back to you right away with an answer.

Until next time, thanks for making Western Exterminator Company “The Final Word in Pest Control®”

Pests Have No Business
 In Your Business

I know I should have been at the gym running on the treadmill after all the turkey, stuffing and trimmings I ate, but who can pass up a two-for-one Black Friday shoe sale before 6:00 a.m.?

A great group of guys and gals, members of our Western Exterminator team, were up early too, (like they are every day) but deals weren’t what they had in mind. They’re my colleagues in Western’s Commercial Services Division who service commercial establishments, usually while the rest of us sleep.

From restaurants to food processing facilities to sports venues to cruise ships and trains, hotels and hospitals, they all need protection from unwanted vermin and Western Exterminator, with our team of highly trained pest professionals, has the expertise for success in these types of accounts.

Protecting a business from unwanted pests is critical not only to public safety but also in protecting our customers’ reputation and brand. Every type of business relies on us to be available day or night to treat for pests who want to free-load in these establishments. Where do you think Menace Mouse spends his free time? It’s usually trying to snag a free meal or night’s stay (who are you kidding, he’ll try and move in permanently!) at any outstanding restaurant or five-star hotel, but not on my watch!

The health and economic risks posed by pests are no joking matter. Pests such as rodents, termites and cockroaches not only spread disease but can also cause thousands of dollars in lost revenue by spoiling food or causing structural damage to buildings and equipment. Ever see what a hungry, misguided roof rat and his mates can do to a roof? It isn’t pretty.
