Why Local Pest Control Is Best

December 23, 2019

Local Pest Control Is Better Than Big Chains

Restoration Pest Management has been part of the Columbus community for years. With over 16 years of experience, our certified pest control technicians are more than familiar with the pests specific to Ohio, and the best ways to get rid of them. Many of our experts have also worked in other climates, like Texas and South Carolina, and they bring that perspective here when they work to get rid of creepy crawlies around here. Where other big chains might bulk buy whatever chemical they feel like throwing out en masse, Restoration Pest Management uses the best products for your home or business. We know the challenges specific to our area and climate and know how to work around them. We know how to stop pests from reaching you before they get there. 

The Support Ohio Local Economies Coalition says that every dollar spent with a local business multiple by two to four times as it feeds back into the local economy. If you were to spend $100 with a company founded and operated out of your community, $68 of that would stay in town. But if you buy from a business that isn't owned locally, like a national chain, less than half of it remains – only $32 is left to boost your city.

Small local businesses like Restoration Pest Management make up the most significant portion of employers nationally, creating 70% of new jobs in the U.S. As our company grows, we're able to hire more people from the Columbus area. We buy many of our products right here, to use here. Everything we do feeds back into the our local economy.

We understand the climate challenges in our area. For instance, Ohio is seeing more and more rain every year, adding to the risk of eroding fields, weed growth, and the spread of insects. This past year was the wettest on record, and intense downpours are happening twice as often as they used to. All that standing water is a breeding ground for insects and attracts other wildlife from far away. That's all on top of the invasive insects making their way into the state, like the Asian Longhorned Beetle that can destroy perfectly healthy trees around your home, and the Gypsy Moth that has survived over 40 statewide eradication attempts carried out by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Since we live in this community, we see those changes happening and the new pests making their way in, and we know how to adapt and respond.

With Restoration Pest Management, you know you're working together with someone who lives in the same town. Our technicians send their kids to your community schools, eat at the restaurants here in town, and buy things from other local businesses – one neighbor, helping another. A strong environment for local businesses creates a more unique and booming community. Those other big national chains may not be overly concerned about whether you think they did their best. But at Restoration Pest Management, our business depends on our friends and neighbors in the Columbus community, so we will always work our absolute hardest to make sure each and every customer is satisfied.
