Coronavirus (COVID-19)
With so many dangers in this world, this is just another way we can protect you. “Knowledge saves lives”
The Dept. of Homeland Security and the State of Michigan officially issued a memorandum classifying “Exterminators” as Essential in a Shelter in Place Order.
What’s this mean for you? It means we will still be able to provide you service during a full shut down that only allows essential services to operate.
As professionals in zoonotic diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic is similar to many other risk we face daily. We deal with disease carrying pest all the time and it’s critical to maintain that control. We will adjust our protocols as necessary to keep you and our techs safe as we continue to keep pest under control during this stressful time. We take it seriously as any zoonotic disease can be devastating. During the Coronavirus outbreak, we will be protecting your family, as usual, but will be taking measures recommended by the CDC to limit contact. Exceeding the CDC guidlines, We will maintain 10ft of distance, wipe and sanitize our equipment after each job, we will be focusing on exterior prevention services. If nessasary to treat the interior we will wear a fresh pair of gloves, our shoe covers, and face-mask. During this time it is our policy to not shake hands in order to protect our employees and customers and ask you to please maintain the 10ft social distancing limit. Thanks to mobile technology 99% of our work is exterior only with minimal to no contact to others, many have coverages for interior pest issues, which we will still cover per request. We will take extreme measures to protect our employees and customers.
If you are feeling ill in the slightest way or have members in the home that have been ill within the last 3 weeks please reschedule your service if interior is required. Otherwise we will be focusing on exterior preventative treatments.
We are happy to continue to protect your home from pests and look forward to building loyal relationships.
