Pest Control from Ehrlich

Pest control is a challenging and varied business. 

Each pest species demands a different set of solutions, further complicated by the severity of the pest infestation and the location of the problem. This means that for an exterminator, no two days are ever the same. 

For example, a rat infestation in the roof of a local restaurant could potentially require a different pest control approach to the same infestation located in the attic of a family home.

The battle to keep control of pests is never ending and it has, in fact, been a necessity for centuries. 

Throughout recorded history to the present day, humans have had to adapt to survive alongside pests, and where this was not viable, to invent suitable methods to try to control them.

In today’s world, changes in human activity, environmental pressures and natural evolution all have a hand to play in introducing pests into locations, where there previously were none. 

The most recent example of this is the resurgence of bed bugs, through increased travel and modern transportation.

As pests evolve, so too must the pest control programs used to control them. This is why continuous training of exterminators and entomologists, and investment in innovative, modern solutions is so critical.

Ehrlich has kept one step ahead of the changing face of the pest control industry by introducing the use of green pest control, chemical-free heat treatment processes and our unique, market-leading online pest monitoring tool, PestNetOnline. 

The training of Ehrlich’s exterminators is just as vital in order to ensure correct and safe application of materials and products, both modern and traditional.

The pest control industry must also keep up with the modern world, which is also evolving. 

Industries face stricter regulations concerning health and safety, with much higher penalties for non-compliance. The potential risk of financial loss and the closure of a store, restaurant or a manufacturing facility, is every business owner’s nightmare. 

As a result, commercial customers are putting greater and greater demands on the quality, effectiveness and reliability of a pest control service.

Homeowners too are adding to these demands. The level of tolerance to pests varies from home to home and from pest to pest. Stink bugs, although a nuisance, are far easier to tolerate than rodents, which pose a more significant health risk. 

In our fast paced world we have come to expect a quick and efficient response from all our service providers, and where it concerns pests in our home, the level of urgency and safety required from a local pest control company is often further heightened.

Modern day pest control companies must be able to meet all these demands by providing service excellence and going the extra mile to prove their worth.

At the same time, pest control should not only be about reaction, but also about prevention. To keep one step ahead of pests, prevention has as big a part to play in an integrated pest management program, as the reactive solutions put in place to control a pre-existing pest problem – underlining the old adage “prevention is better than cure”.

Ehrlich has always been proactive in its preventative solutions and offers pest awareness training to all industries and professional advice to homeowners on easy, practical steps to take to defend a home against a possible pest invasion.

With over 80 years of experience in providing expert pest control services to homes and a wide range of business sectors, Ehrlich is recognized as a leading pest control company, representing professionalism, innovation and a continued commitment to exceed customer expectations.
