Better Together

At BASF, we are delighted to be associated with those who go above and beyond to exceed their customers’ expectations, including this year’s PCT Technicians of the Year — Hector Avila, Arrow Exterminators (commercial); Brian Sheppard, All-American Pest Control (residential); and Ernie Esteve, Billiot Pest Control (termite). They set the industry standard with their hard work and dedication to professionalism.

Today’s service professionals must stay on top of the latest products, technologies and treatment strategies, all while being skilled communicators. We appreciate the diligent work service professionals perform daily and strive to provide our customers with that same level of excellence.

From products to partnerships, our Pest Control Solutions team believes in “better together.” Examples of working better together for BASF are product innovations that work in tandem. Many PMPs have benefited from using BASF products together, including Termidor® SC termiticide/insecticide and Alpine® WSG water soluble granule insecticide. This one-two punch gives PMPs a powerful, efficacious treatment for their toughest pest problems.

Our team members also benefit from working together with our trusted PMP partners. Pest management professionals are the ones with their “boots on the ground,” gathering valuable feedback from the various customers they interact with on a daily basis. These partnerships are what drive innovation, including the development of new formulations.

At BASF, we value the partnerships we’ve formed with PMPs, and we have a great appreciation for how service professionals like Hector, Brian and Ernie work every single day to build and nurture your customer relationships. It’s our great pleasure to salute them as the sponsor of the Technician of the Year Awards program. Enjoy reading their stories in the pages that follow.
