Is Pest Share a pest control company?
This article outlines who Pest Share is, and who Pest Share is NOT.
Is Pest Share a Pest Control Company?
No. Pest Share is not a traditional pest control company. Pest Share is a tech-enabled pest control company and coverage platform that connects residents and property management companies with a network of professional pest control service providers.
Think of Pest Share as the connection between the property, resident, and pest control provider.
When a resident needs pest control service, Pest Share manages the service request process, determines whether the pest is covered under the property's pest program, and coordinates the request with an available service provider. The local pest control company then performs the inspection and treatment at the property.
What does Pest Share do?
Pest Share helps simplify the pest control experience for residents and property management teams by:
-
Providing an online process for submitting pest service requests
-
Determining whether the requested pest is covered under the property's pest program
-
Connecting service requests with participating pest control providers
-
Coordinating service and communicating important information between the resident, property management team, and provider
-
Tracking service requests, treatment activity, and service history
-
Providing coverage and warranty support when applicable
-
Offering options for pests that are not included in a property's pest coverage
Who actually treats the property?
A professional pest control service provider performs the treatment.
Pest Share works with a network of pest control companies in different markets. The service provider is responsible for evaluating the pest issue, determining the appropriate treatment, and performing the treatment at the property.
Because treatment methods can vary based on the pest, level of activity, and condition of the property, the provider determines the appropriate treatment approach.
What if the pest isn't covered?
If a requested pest isn't included in the property's pest coverage, the resident may still have options.
Depending on the property's program, the request may be reviewed by the property management team or the resident may receive a quote for a one-time treatment through Pest Share's Marketplace.
In other words, Pest Share isn't limited to the pests included in a property's coverage. We can also help residents access treatment options for additional pest concerns.
Why does Pest Share work with local pest control companies?
Pest control is a local service. Different markets have different pest pressures, regulations, service requirements, and provider availability.
Rather than operating as one traditional pest control company with technicians in every market, Pest Share works with professional pest control providers in the communities where service is needed.
This allows Pest Share to provide a more streamlined experience for property management companies and residents while leveraging the expertise of local pest control professionals.
The simple answer
Pest Share is not the pest control company performing the treatment. We are the platform and service partner that helps manage the pest control experience, from the resident's request through service coordination and follow-up, while carefully vetted professional pest control providers perform the actual treatment.
