What Customer Retention Says about your Business

Every company has a report card reflecting how well there institution performed. One metric that measures a business' performance is customer retention. Companies lose customers year after year. Customers leave for two reasons. One, they are upset and leave. The second is for a reason beyond their control (they move or becomes non-applicable). Every company has roughly a 10% fallout of their customers who fall into the second category.

If your company keeps 70% of your customers each year (70%+10%), then you are doing B grade work (80% retention). At Tanner Pest Control, each year we only lose 15% of our customers. With the 10% margin of error we are only losing 5% of our customers. 95%! That's an A rating! Next to safety, customer loyalty is one of our highest priorities. There's no wonder why we have such a high online presence with the Better Business Bureau and plenty of 5 star rankings.

New Winter Treatment for 2013-2014

At Tanner Pest Control we are constantly looking to add value to our customers through innovation and better servicing methods. To offer an effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program we involve all methods: exclusion (sealing openings), mechanical (placing traps), preventative control (residual pest control products) and performing a thorough inspection during each treatment. The exclusion treatment is key during the winter service (December 1st through February 28th ).

The exterior winter treatment consists of sealing and treating any cracks and crevices. We do this by using clear silicone to seal off pipes, electrical cords, gas meters, A/C units, or any other openings that could pose a potential home to outside invaders. This treatment is key because it stops mice from squeezing through any openings the size of a dime (1/4 inch) or larger. The sealing treatment is also essential for insects such as ants, earwigs, centipedes, or arachnids to enter the home.

The other part of the exclusion treatment is to use copper mesh in weep holes or other large openings so that rodents can't chew through. The copper mesh is designed to be convenient for any hole or opening 1/2 inch or smaller. It doesn't stain or leave any residue if moisture is applied to the mesh.

The interior treatment consists of three parts. The first is the interior flush-out. We treat your baseboards, spot treat windows, window wells, and any other areas where pests reside. The products last 60-90 days so the winter treatment will last well into the spring before the next service. The second part is a wall injection. We inject dust into plumbing voids under the sink, or any other wall openings where pests might be nesting. The final application is a bait application for mice, rats, cockroaches, crickets, ants, moths, or spiders.

Rodents are very active during the winter months. Bait boxes for mice and rats are placed on the exterior or on the interior of the home. We monitor, inspect, and refill the bait stations for rodent activity each treatment. Bait boxes are an excellent way to prevent rodents from getting inside the residence because they enter the station, consume the commercial grade bait and then return to the nest.

Happy Holidays!
From all of us at Tanner Pest Control

Officially Paperless!

It's true. TPC has launched a new software platform to increase the efficiency and also the effectiveness of our operations. What does this mean to me as a customer you might ask? It means several things:

No more paper statements. Each technician is now equipped with an iPad to review the customer account information, review the services, and to update notes about the property. We send the service slips instantly to your email, thus, cutting down on unwanted paper in your filing cabinets.
New automated service reminders and scheduling via, text, email and phone calls. This is beneficial because it's more tailored to your busy lifestyle and customized to your communication preference.
New customer portals on our website (coming soon) allow you to update your information and also pay your bills online in the convenience of your home.
Daily route optimization. This new technology allows intelligent routing that will reduce the amount of gas used daily. The technician's route is now in close proximity to other customers, thus using less fuel and having a better impact on the environment.

Paperless = better for the environment & happier customers!

What "Green" Pest Control Means to You!

There are four reasons why pest control companies have switched from traditional pest control to "green" pest control services.

Green pest control companies practice environmentally friendly techniques such as handling products, application, and proper disposal of unnecessary products.
The products that these companies use are home friendly for pets, children, and adults. The organic based products that we use are used in hospitals, day-cares, schools, and restaurants.
These companies also have "green policies" such as recycling, fuel efficient service vehicles, close proximity operating areas, and strategies to go paperless.
Green companies apply products only where needed. At Tanner Pest Control we use a product called Demand CS, which is very effective against targeted pests. The active ingredient has a slow release, which is healthier for the atmosphere. Other products break down much faster and release greater amounts of toxins into the environment.

At Tanner Pest Control we have always been and will forever be a "Green" Pest Control company. It is our privilege to give back to the environment and to provide home friendly products for homes and businesses.
