It has been our long-held belief that sound environmental policies contribute to our company’s competitive strength.

We at Bio-Tech Environmental Services Philippines, Inc. recognize our social and environmental responsibility to protect and safeguard the environment to which our well-being and that of the future generation also depend.

On top of regular in-house trainings, the company hires external consultants and trainers to uphold the ISO 14001 standard and guarantee continual improvement.  

The recent “Technical Safety Seminar” conducted by SHMS360 Corporation at  1141 EDSA Balintawak, Quezon City on May 26, 2015 was attended by 14 Technicians and 1 Area Operations Manager.  These pest control professionals refreshed their knowledge on safety principles and updated their skills on the proper way of handling hazards, risks and accidents in the workplace.  Situations where pest exterminators might encounter were emphasized such as when using machines, working at heights, materials handling, electrical safety, fire prevention and control, and use of personal protection equipment.

Indeed, at Bio-Tech Environmental, everyone’s safety is of utmost importance.  You can count on us to protect the health and safety of your family, or customers and employees, and the environment as a whole.

BIO-TECH ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM

Your Pest Management Professionals

1.  How long has your company been in business?  How many employees do you have?

Pest exterminators with inconsistent results and poor customer service are neither likely to last a few years nor grow from a one-man or small team of technicians to a company of, say, over 30 employees.  Watch out for companies who might claim to be around for many years but have changed business names a few times.

2.  Who are your clients?  Do you have long-term commercial and residential clients?

Corporate clients, especially those who have good brand names or reputation to protect, trust the best and most reliable professionals and establish long-term relationships with them.  Therefore, it should be no surprise to find out that the same pest control operator takes care of both commercial and residential properties of such clients who have nothing but great experience with the company.  They become loyal clients who refer the company to friends and business associates.

3.  Are your pest control technicians trained in the latest pest control technologies?  What standards do you follow?

Be wary of experienced technicians who have not upgraded their knowledge and skills as well as the products and equipment they use beyond the traditional “kill-em-all-with-nasty-poisons” approach to pest control.  When asked about standards and/or company policies, the representative should be able to describe what the company stand for.  Affiliations, licensing and certifications are easy to prove, which you can also check with relevant authorities.

The above questions should screen out the “fly-by-night” and the “ill-reputed” operators of the pest control industry in the Philippines.  Remember that solutions to your pest problems should not only be effective and reliable, but safe to all concerned and the environment as well.
