Why Do We Offer 24 Hour Pest Control?

What do pest controllers have in common with firefighters and the ambulance service? Just like them, we operate 24 hours a day. At this point you may be wondering why? Why on earth would people like us need to offer 24 hour pest control? Well, there are a few good reasons for this as explained below.

24 hour pest control: here’s why we offer it

1. Discrete pest extermination

First of all, the subject of pests can be highly contentious for some people. What this means is that many businesses do not want people to know they have pests. A good example of this are five star restaurants. Imagine showing up at a five star restaurant and there’s a pest control van sitting outside. Even worse, imagine a bunch of pest technicians walking through the dining room. You wouldn’t have any confidence in the quality of the food, would you? This is why these types of business prefer that we come in after-hours with 24 hour pest control. This way no one knows they have pests, and the reputation of the business is protected.

2. After-hours pest service

Another reason why we offer 24 hour pest control is because some business cannot accommodate us during the day. Pest control is extremely intensive. It’s not always a case of operating behind the scenes. In some cases, we may have to do serious work and the business can benefit from a pest contract. What this means is that the business may have to close down entirely for a short time. For example, maybe you have an office which is infested with bed bugs. In this scenario, we’d have to shut the place down and perform heat treatments. Obviously, most business people hate the idea of this. There’s nothing worse than losing a day of productive work. But by coming in after-hours, we can avoid this problem.

3. Genuine pest emergencies

24 hour pest control is often referred to as emergency pest control and this happens outside of your annual pest inspection. This might sound a bit strange, but genuine pest emergencies do actually occur. Here’s a good example. Maybe you run a hotel and there’s a conference starting the next morning. Hundreds of people are staying at the hotel. But the day before, you discover that dozens of rooms are infested with bed bugs. This counts as a genuine emergency and would require working through the night to solve.

4. Competitive advantage

The fact is that competition is fierce in this business. There are dozens of pest control companies in London alone. What this means is that we have to offer something which helps us stand out from the crowd. But providing a round-the-clock service, we are able to do this.
