One of our biggest goals these past few years has been to cut costs where we could in order to prevent raising our prices. As a result, we haven’t had a price increase in nearly 10 years. Switching from mail notifications to email notifications is one of the ways that we’ve tried to stave off a price increase. Unfortunately, a price increase has been unavoidable.
Fuel has increased over 30% since our last increase years ago, which is obviously a huge expense for us. Los Angeles County contains over 2,000 square miles of roads, and gas prices aren’t lowering any time soon. Maintaining a fleet a trucks is no small feat.
California legislation has changed dramatically in the past decades, restricting the products we use and increasing the costs of approved pesticides. We’re doing what we can.
Insurance and workers compensation rates are at an all-time high, especially in our industry. Many family pest control companies simply forgo and ignore or insurances. We aren't willing to do that. We want to ensure your liability and assets are protected. We as well offer medical insurance to our full time employees. As you probably know these costs as well have significantly increased.
We hope you understand why we have had to raise our prices. We have tried to make the increase as simple and painless as we possibly could.
Thank you so much for your continued business!
