Business Type: Pest Control

In 2008, Gannon Pest Control was named one of the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in Central New York.  Locally owned and operated, Gannon Pest Control specializes in the pest control needs of the local community.  All of our pest programs are tailored to the customer to ensure that every customer obtains the maximum results for their service.   We have been serving Central New York's Pest Control needs for over 18 years. Our technicians are fully trained and our office staff is well equipped to answer any of your Pest Control questions.

Gannon Pest Control also offers COMMERCIAL SERVICES.   Bugs get into your office and warehouse space just as easily as they enter your home.  Unfortunately, the cost of treating your commercial space for insects and rodents can be significantly higher than treating your home.  This is especially true if you choose to “spot treat” your commercial space rather than having a qualified pest control company on contract.

Bed bugs are a hot topic at the moment. Gannon Pest Control is putting together a BED BUG MONITORING program for hotels.  Unfortunately, hotels and landlords are paying the price for the bed bug problem and they need some early detection measures.  There is not a perfect solution to prevent bed bugs, but we can sell them some tools and educate housekeeping staff regarding early detection.

Question

Question

What is the most common question customers have about your business (e.g. flowers, auto parts, estate planning)?

Answer

Answer

The most common question is:
Can we take care of this on our own?  In the case of a business, you cannot.  It is against the law to apply pesticides if you are not a certified applicator in a commercial property anywhere but your own home without a license.  At your home, most of the products that you purchase in the store will not eliminate the underlying problem.  They may take care of the pests that you see, but it will not eliminate the ultimate breeding areas.  Your best bet is to use a professional, this will ensure that you problem is taken care of in the most efficient and correct manner.

Question

Question

What can happen to customers who neglect the product or service you offer? (e.g. old tires, poor estate planning, dying plants, over-paying for travel)

Answer

Answer

Many times ignoring a pest problem can result in increasing the cost of elimination as well as possible renovation costs.  Bugs seem small and harmless, but they can definitely cause some serious damage to your home or building, loss of inventory, loss of customers and employee irritation.

There are also many types of bugs that can cause health issues.  Cockroaches can cause respiratory issues in small children.  Also, many people are allergic to insect bites and getting stung or bit can result in a trip to the hospital.
