Orkin’s unparallel­led service

- Keisha Hill Staff Reporter

ORKIN JAMAICA offers maximum protection from pests, using the most advanced equipment in the industry. Their specialist­s are the best qualified to help protect homes and businesses against a wide range of pests.

Orkin’s unparallel­ed services for helping to keep pests in control include assessing your unique situation and individual needs, identifyin­g the root of your problem, prescribin­g the right treatment and designing a customised plan to help safeguard your properties against pests.

According to Amanda Thwaites, commercial manager at Orkin Jamaica, schools, restaurant­s, warehouses, offices, and any other structure which hosts people are prime targets for pest infestatio­ns. Virtually all pests, whether they are termites or rodents, have the same basic needs as humans: food, water, and a safe place to live.

“Orkin Jamaica believes in an integrated approach to pest control. More than just exterminat­ors, Orkin Jamaica looks to prevent infestatio­ns from becoming major pest problems, which could threaten health and property. This is accomplish­ed by inspecting thoroughly, then identifyin­g the pest or potential pest problem, and using a targeted approach to controllin­g or preventing the pest infestatio­n,” Thwaites said.

The company offers an integrated pest management programme comprised of an effective combinatio­n of non-chemical and chemical treatment methods to achieve acceptable levels of control with the least possible impact to humans and the environmen­t.

“Our approach to quality pest-control management includes establishi­ng the material to be used, setting up bait stations and other devices necessary, establishi­ng an overall maintenanc­e programme and making recommenda­tions to ensure sustainabl­e pest management. Using chemicals is our last resort,” Thwaites said.

DISCOUNTS BEING OFFERED

Currently, Orkin Jamaica is offering discounts on residentia­l pest control services under the theme “1-2-three-45-STOP! It’s on Us”. Customers will pay for only four of six treatments. Thwaites said the effort is to raise awareness of the Orkin Jamaica brand and for persons to see and understand the methodolog­y that they utilise in the services that they offer.

Rates are specific to each situation; however, there is a rate for residentia­l pest- control services ranging from $ 10,800 plus tax per treatment for a four- bedroom house, and smaller homes treated at a lower cost. For more informatio­n contact any of their two locations in Kingston and Montego Bay or telephone: 906-2306.
