    Growing a Good Pest Control Business

    September 19, 2009 // No Comments »

    Growing a successful business is about treating customers right. For a business owner, conveying one’s passion and care for the customers all the way through the ranks of an organization can be challenging. It’s the same telephone game we use to play as kids. The owner starts out by saying, “Customer satisfaction is our primary goal.” and as it get passed from owner to manager, to middle manager, to uppers, to lowers, to accountants, to receptionists, to the guy that shows up at your home the message get changed and the passion and desires of the owner get mixed up until its, “Cost more sucks frictions of promising gold.”

    Our solution, to this is keep the organization’s line of communication clear and direct and the business like a family. Or as one of customer’s so lovingly put it, “Small enough to care, big enough to do it right.”

    And it seems to work… Here is Google review from a  St. George customer complimenting our technician Daniel…

    “Daniel Flores is our tech for Bulwark. He arrived this week just as I was leaving for work and I requested he spray inside due to the heat bringing more bugs indoors. Knowing I wanted to leave quickly Daniel promptly went to work getting the inside done so I could be on my way. I had not requested an indoor spraying because I wasn’t sure of my work schedule. He was courteous and competent as always, and we have come to expect great service from Daniel and Bulwark for over four years. Thank you!”

    The sting of the scorpion – medical information

    August 24, 2009 // No Comments »

    The scorpion sting is not an experience individuals should seek after.  No matter how mild or intense an individual’s reaction, a scorpion sting is painful.  Some consider the sting to be similar to the sting of a bumble bee. While others experience nausea, vomiting, burning sensations, and even temporary paralysis.  The reaction is based on both the type of scorpion, the venom carried by the scorpion species, and by the individual, their allergies, and their bodies ability to metabolize the venom.

    The good news is that most scorpion stings are non lethal. Most individuals will not need medical attention.  Children and the elderly are at an increased risk due to the frailty of their bodies.  Body weight often determines the bodies ability to metabolize the poisons. If stung and you feel an adverse reaction then call the poison control center.  If you experience trouble breathing then you should immediately go to the local St. George emergency room.  Breathing problems are what ultimately determine if a scorpion sting is fatal or not.  Essentially the toxins in the scorpion’s venom can cause the victim to stop breathing, making the scorpion sting deadly. So monitoring the stung individual’s breathing is the most vital step in protecting that individual from potential death.

    Bulwark Pest Control has protected over 20,000 scorpion troubled homes in the US.  For even better coverage ask about our Scorpion 20/20 protection plan.

    St. George Pest Control in Wall Street Journal – Natural Pest Control

    July 31, 2009 // No Comments »

    Is there an all natural pest control solution that really works? What natural pest control products do work? How effective are these products? Is natural pest control safer?

    Well the Wall Street Journal went digging for the answers to these questions. Along they way they interviewed Adam of Bulwark Pest Control. St. George is one of Bulwark’s locations and its only location in Utah. And Bulwark’s customer is quoted in the Wall Street Journal.

    Here is what Bulwark’s customer told the Wall Street Journal about Bulwark’s all natural service:

    “I’ve seen no excess insects since switching,” 39-year-old Ms. Kidd says, “and I’ve got bugs in the yard around my chicken coop, but not on my patio or in my house.”

    Green Pest Control – Wall Street Journal

    July 30, 2009 // No Comments »

    The other day we were delighted to receive a phone call from the wall street journal asking about our green pest control solutions. Adam spent some time on the phone with her explaining the pest control industry and how efficacy directly affects profit margins. Mesa, Ariz.-based Bulwark Exterminating LLC, which operates 11 branches in eight states, uses only botanical sprays and boric-acid products (also derived from boron) whenever customers request all-natural solutions and often includes them as part of an overall treatment plan even when they don’t.
