From the Desk of Tony Schultz
There’s a lot to look forward to the next few months, like visiting our favorite restaurants and bars. As dining and drinking establishments open or increase their operating capacity, we’re encouraging our PMP clients to use Gentrol® Point Source for long-term roach control and Lava-Lor® Granular Bait for immediate relief in these sensitive accounts.
Travel has also returned, which subsequently means that bed bugs are back and hungrier than ever. We recommend using a product like Zenprox® EC to keep bed bugs under control and out of sight in your hotel accounts.
Finally, I would like to introduce Gary Wagner as the newest member of our sales team. Gary will cover Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin, and we are excited to have him on board.

Bed Bugs are Itching for a Post-COVID Comeback
With limited occupancy over the past year, bed bugs in hotels are expected to be hungrier and more aggressive with the return of hotel guests. It will be essential for PMPs to have a set protocol in place to help prepare for these calls. For the most effective and efficient hotel bed bug treatments, see our pro tips and product recommendations in the link below.

We are proud to partner with PCT Magazine on the 2021 State of the Naturals Market report, and I encourage you to view it below to learn more about the features and benefits of green pest control products.
