Heat Treatment for Pest Control is a 100% Chemical free method that uses dry heat, generated by specially designed Heaters, to eliminate Pest. Its principle is based in the fact that certain range of temperatures are lethal for pest, therefore a single treatment kills pests in all life stages including eggs and larvae. This environmentally friendly method provided a high rate of effectivity, it´s safe for the employees and eliminate the risks of product contamination of the traditional usage of pesticides.

Investigation of Customer Pest Complaints
Eric Meyers, ADM
Complaints can be a tiring and disruptive part of any service-based business, but the reality is they come with the territory. We can just sit back and express our own internal complaints about how unrealistic (we think) the customer is or deduce other reasoning on why it’s not us. Bugs are just part of the business, its summer… This (other) customer hasn’t complained, or paperwork looks good & nothing abnormal… This sound familiar?
We can exhaust ourselves rationalizing a defense or we can roll our sleeves up and objectively investigate. Maybe it’s not an isolated incident, and other business impacts are looming. We may be surprised at what we find once we really look. It could be discovering something we thought impossible, or we collect strong fact-based evidence supporting the source is elsewhere. For me, it starts with the pest or evidence in question, a bug is not a bug. A bug identified is the first clue on where and what to investigate. I recommend we start there with a guilty until proven innocent approach…
