5 Pest Control Business Resolutions for the New Year
A new year offers business owners the perfect opportunity for a fresh start, especially if you make some pest control business resolutions. Being a pest professional likely means the start of that New Year coincides with your off-season, allowing you even more of a chance to take stock of your business and develop a plan. So, go ahead and make some business resolutions, or as we like to call them, “Pest-O-Lutions”, this year. Having goals written down on paper, shared with your employees and posted in a place all can see can set your entire team on course for success in the business year ahead. Consider the following 5 Pest-O-Lutions for your business…
-
Make the most of the winter pest service & indoor inspection
Winter is a time when many of your customers may question the need for your services. Remind them of your value as you step inside of their home to monitor. While you may dread the extra work of scheduling an indoor inspection make the most of this opportunity to enter your account and interact with the customer.
Glue boards can be your best friend to help monitor and prevent rodents, spiders and overwintering pests from becoming a problem in the customer’s main living space.
-
Utilize products made for the space
When it comes to pest products, one size certainly doesn’t fit all. The Catchmaster® brand takes a science-based approach to create product lines specific for rodent, insects and mosquitoes. We like to call it
Intelligent Pest Management. We have even gone so far as to create products made especially for colder climates like the
Cold Temperature Rodent Tray, the ONLY low-temp glue trap on the market, and our
Catch Zone™ Pest Boundary Roll made specifically for those larger areas that you might encounter in places like warehouses, storage facilities and super markets.
-
Increase your marketing efforts
Social media is a great and inexpensive way to connect with your target audience. Posts with engaging graphics are proven to perform well. Generating graphics may be a daunting first step but we have your back. Our team has put together a library of fun and eye-catching designs specifically for sharing on social media. You can find them at
https://catchmasterpro.com/social-media-assets/. So go ahead and share away with your audience for free impressions of your business.

Maximize your brand potential
There have never been more options for creating marketing collateral. And some options for pest management professionals are both economical and strategic. For example, customizing your own brand of glue boards offers you endless marketing opportunities. Hand them out at home tradeshows or street fairs in towns you’re targeting, when homeowners get a ‘catch’ they’ll have your number handy to call for back-up. Having custom branded glue boards in your large commercial accounts gives a great impression of a company that has their act together. Learn more here:

Commit to your pest control business resolutions and grow!
Have you resolved to make this the year you will take your business to the next level? Adding a new service offering is a great way to expand your business. Mosquito services are a hot topic this year. Don’t ignore the opportunity that exists with the diamonds in your backyard – your already existing customer base. If you don’t already offer mosquito services, imagine the growth potential for your business if you can convert just a percentage of your existing base into mosquito customers as well. Learn more about our
mosquito management tools. We hope our Business Pest-O-Lutions have inspired you to write down some goals for yourself and your business this New Year. Wishing you and your team much success in the new year and beyond. Bobby Kossowicz is a content creator for the Catchmaster® brand, learn more here:
