Same face, different gig!

Hi all: I've been on a bit of a hiatus for the past several months as I tried to take in all the changes in the mortgage landscape. After exiting the mortgage business this past summer, I finally took a friend of mine up and went to work for his business, Paratex Pest Control.

My friend Jim's dad started Paratex in 1908. Needless to say the business does very well. Most of our business is commercial (80-20 split)) but we pride ourselves on our work whether it's a large account or a small one. For example, I was out with one of our technicians on a service call a couple of  weeks ago. We were checking bait stations when our customer asked if we could look at a hole in the automatic garage door. Fifteen minutes later we had a fix where nothing could get through. As they say, service before the sale.  The bonus is when we got back to the office. Our customer had called praising our name for what we had done. All at  no extra charge I might add.

 Most of the time I will be talking to new or existing accounts about our services. They run the gamut from bird and pest control to fumigation of bedbugs. If we can be of service to anyone you may know please call us at 800-542-1234. We service all of Washington State, Portland, Oregon and Northern Idaho. I wish you a great day!

Congratulations on a new career.

Here in CA, the termite inspection is almost the must for each property sale. We got the issue  almost every time. So, local companies are busy.

Inna: I'm sure. Up here we don't have a lot of termites. But we do get a lot of rats and bedbugs! Oh joy. Thanks for commenting. Have a nice evening!
