Eco-Friendly Pest Control Franchise Leads Industry Shift

Sept. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Enviro-Tech® Pest Services, an environmentally responsible franchise centered on the reduction of unwanted pests, is leading a green movement that challenges the pest control industry standard. The emerging franchise, with a strong presence throughout the mid-Atlantic region as well as North Carolina, Texas and Nebraska, is redefining the highly-fragmented industry through unique application techniques, careful formula selection and the use of specially trained dogs to detect termites and bed bugs.

“Enviro-Tech prides itself on being the protectors of home and health when it comes to unwanted pest populations, and we do so by advocating for the environment,” said Nick Petti, president and CEO of Enviro-Tech. “While some believe that extremely potent and formidable chemicals are more effective, we know that this is untrue. Pests will continue to exist in our ecospheres, and we firmly believe in controlling their presence through responsible, eco-friendly methods.”

Petti, whose 24-year pest control career path began at age 18, observed deceptive practices by other companies regarding the choice of chemicals deemed most appropriate and how they were best applied. Realizing the industry lacked a gold standard, Petti launched a company that was dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint.

As more consumers become aware of eco-friendly lifestyle choices, Enviro-Tech is filling a void in the $4.6 billion pest control and extermination sector. The franchise offers a series of customized service packages and branded programs for residential and commercial pest control (insects, rodents and related pests) as well as termite treatments, nuisance wildlife control and inspection services for real estate companies.

To augment the company’s growth, Enviro-Tech is seeking single and multi-unit franchisees to uphold the brand’s core philosophy and stellar reputation. The company plans to develop 35 locations over the next three years and projects to have 100 franchise locations up and running over the next 10 years. With the tightened credit market, many entrepreneurs are leaning toward home-based or small office businesses with lower startup costs, such as Enviro-Tech, rather than storefronts that require large investments, Petti added.  

“Because bugs don’t discriminate based on economy or location, and the necessity of pest management offers a recurring revenue stream, our industry appeals to potential franchisees in any market,” he said. “With our emphasis on the environment, integrity and innovation with our application techniques, Enviro-Tech is well positioned for continued growth.”
