The Value of Trust

Yes, the PestPartnersSM 365 Program from Syngenta can lower your chemical costs.

But for Modern Pest Control, trust is another big reason why it has embraced the program since 2016.

“The PestPartners 365 Program is great, and we trust the products that Syngenta makes. That’s why we are involved with the program,” said Del Lawson, vice president of the company serving the greater Houston, Texas, area.

This is the true value to the business, he explained. “Syngenta is a trusted manufacturer. I have a great relationship with the representative. They help me whenever I need it. They’re front and center in our industry. We know they’re putting money into innovation, and they stand behind their products. Their reputation is the reason we use their products.”

Getting rebates for the Syngenta products his team relies on every day is just icing on the cake, he said.

Companies Big & Small Benefit

Getting involved in the PestPartners 365 Program is easy. You have seven months from Oct. 2024 through Apr. 2025 to buy Syngenta products and hit a base rebate of at least $200 to get into the Partner level.

“Once you’re at that level, you’re in,” said Marshall Gaster, head of marketing for Professional Pest Management (PPM) at Syngenta, North America.

The more you buy during the qualification period, the higher your rebate level. Modern Pest Control is a Gold-level participant.

“When you commit to a certain level, you know that you’re going to get the best possible rate that buying at that level will allow,” said Lawson.

The savings come as rebate checks, which Lawson puts back into the business. “They go right to the bottom line” to boost profitability, he explained.

You can spend rebate money however you like. “We’ve heard of companies using their rebates on everything from providing extra employee benefits to buying another service truck. Some have even chosen to take a vacation,” said Kristen Oakley, market manager for PPM at Syngenta, North America.

For Modern Pest Control, the PestPartners 365 Program makes products more affordable so it can be more competitive. “It levels the playing field between us and some of the larger companies that have a chemical purchase budget that’s 10 times the size of ours,” explained Lawson.

And with the pain of pandemic-driven product shortages still fresh, buying in bulk gives Lawson confidence that his 24 technicians will have access to the products they need to provide customers peace of mind.

Buy What You Need

You aren’t obligated to buy specific items to participate in the PestPartners 365 Program. Modern Pest Control purchases five Syngenta products: Advion® Ant gel bait, Advion fire ant bait, Advion Insect granular bait, Demand® CS insecticide and Tandem® insecticide.

“Of those, we use a lot,” Lawson said, so it makes sense for his company to buy up.

Committing to a bulk purchase months before the season begins can be unsettling at first.

Online calculators available at PestPartners365.com/Calculators can help you plan your purchase and estimate what you can save within your budget. Distributor representatives and Syngenta territory managers (SyngentaPMP.com/ContactUs/Territory) are also great resources.

“Our territory managers are available to help any pest management professional (PMP) of any size build a product purchasing plan to achieve maximum savings all year long,” said Oakley.

In addition, the SummerPay^™ program offers free extended payment terms until June 20, 2025 on select Syngenta products. “This really helps PMPs during the early season when cash flow is a bit tighter,” said Oakley.

Celebrating 11 years of savings, the PestPartners 365 Program is the longest-running loyalty program in the pest control market. Last year, it also set a record for participation.
