Many companies spend large investments in money and time on advertising and internet marketing only to provide a less than an average response when called. Pest control firms are known to spend as much as $50 to get a potential customer to call them, so it is vital to turn that caller into a customer.
If it’s your customers who think that, then that is fantastic. Get them to rate you on Google or provide a testimonial to go up on your website or in your office window.
Don’t waste time and money on marketing to those that aren’t local or relatively nearby. Marketing is about identifying and understanding your customers and giving them what they want. It’s not just about advertising and promoting your business.
More and more people are searching for local business online than anywhere else and the days of flipping open the Yellow Pages to find your nearest pest control professional are long gone, so it is important to make sure your pest control listing can be found easily on the most popular search engine, Google.
Local search is vital if you are in the pest control business. The most often used search terms or phrases include keywords such as “pest control + Location”. An example is “pest control Sydney” or “termite control Brisbane”.

When using dust to treat sensitive areas such as a kitchen, you have to be extra careful. Make sure no dust contaminants preparations benches, cookware and food. Splashbacks and commercial equipment can create large cavities, suitable for dust treatments. Be mindful about where cockroaches might relocate after a dust treatment.
Apply a small amount of dust into cracks and crevices, usually from below rather than from above, being careful not to allow any dust to drift out of an application entrance. Remember to be careful when treating a kitchen with dust, do not contaminate any surface that food may come into contact with.
Cockroaches are thigmotactic pests, which means they prefer to hide in tight places where they have something touching either side of their body and there is the relative safety of only one entrance and exit. When treating the kitchen, some pest controllers can overlook critical hiding spots like a knife block or a food warmer tray – both ideal harbourage areas as they are in vicinity of food, warmth and water.
In this video series about treating domestic kitchens, we learn about the best hiding spots for pests, particularly cockroaches. Watch our expert take you through inspecting two of the high risk areas in a domestic kitchen and the potential hiding spots of each.
In the second installment in this series, we learn how to identify areas that pose a high risk to food build up - an important step in forming a successful integrated pest management plan.
