Discovering Solutions to Difficult Pest Problems

Environmental

Revised 12/12/2016: With 30+ years in the pest control industry as an owner of a top 20 company in the Houston, Texas area and then working for a National Pest Control Company inspecting, diagnosing, and generating critical action procedures to solve unusual problems with clients and our branch companies in different cities. As a Board Certified Entomologist, I have been involved in insect identification for Clients as well as other Pest Control Companies, often using a microscope for proper identification. Then I would designed programs to eliminate pest problems. As the owner of a pest control company, we specialized in solving unusual problems from excluding bats that were infesting University dormitories (students were in the halls using tennis raquets to hit the bats because of a fear of rabies), to live trapping a large flock of Mallard ducks living in a dangerous chemical outflow pond, clipping their wings and relocating them miles away to a safe neighborhood lake where they were wanted and fed. They happily set up a new home there to the joy of the children and neighbors. We've designed and implemented plans to remove feral pigeons from shopping centers, entertainment and traffic flow venues. We resolved Africanized Bee infestations in homes, office buildings, University classrooms, etc. As a Regional Inspector for the National Pest Control Organization; I inspected and designed solutions for major Food Manufacturers, Food Distribution Centers, and Medical Centers. I was taked with investigating, diagnosing and creating action plans for local pest control branches to solve major rat infestations in National Restuarant Chains and Big Box Home Improvement Storres. None of these clients enjoyed being discussed on Yelp or the 6 O'Clock News. I was tasked with solving these problems for our Clients. I enjoy the challenge of finding and solving a problem that no one else has been able to figure out, keeping track of the progress and working with Client Management to ensure that problems were eliminated in a timely manner. My Client will be either a Pest Control Company that has been unable to solve a problem or a business that needs help in figuring out what type of pest problem they have, and where it is coming from. I will usually be contacted by Quality Assurance Management of either type of client.
