It’s Summer in Rhode Island. After a long, cold winter the warm weather is finally here and there are a multitude of fun outdoor activities and experiences awaiting both our residents and visitors alike.
With the longer days and warmer temperatures, not only are people more active, but so are a variety of insects who emerge from their dormant states that they enter into when the mercury drops and food is scarce.
By now you’ve seen many of the seasonal insects around your property and inside your home, from ants and lady bugs to spiders and beetles. Most of the time they are harmless, but it’s a short jump, or a crawl, from nuisance to infestation. You might be tempted to experiment with some do-it-yourself remedies, but if you don’t completely get rid of the pests, the problem will only get worse. This is something that Bruce Beaumier, owner of A-Veteran’s Pest Control, sees often. Bruce has been in this business for forty years now, and he and his team are prepared to handle any situation.
“One thing I’ve learned over these forty years is to remain open-minded,” Bruce says. “I’m always willing to learn something. That’s something I pride myself on, because every time the phone rings it’s going to be a new client, with unique needs, and that’s the approach you need to last in this business.”
While Bruce handles the administrative work at A-Veterans, he also goes out into the field, which is something he loves. In fact, if you request a consultation, you almost certainly will see Bruce at your door to provide you with the answers to any question you may have.
“There isn’t one customer I haven’t talk to personally,” Bruce says. “There isn’t anyone sitting in my office. I’m the office. I take the phone call and if my technician is busy, I’ll take the job myself.”
Climate certainly plays a factor in the populations of insects and rodents, and Rhode Island’s unpredictable and sometimes extreme seasonal weather patterns always makes Bruce’s job challenging.
“We got a lot of rain this spring, and this excessive amount of moisture creates a huge increase in insect movement beyond what you would typically see,” Bruces says. “Homeowners and businesses can expect to see the uptick of insect activity as the summer gets underway.”
First and foremost, Bruce strives to educate his clients. He operates a no-pressure business model, giving his client options by providing them with the information they need to make their own decisions.
“This can be done over the phone or in person,” Bruce says. “Whatever is convenient for the customer. I treat my customers the way I want to be treated. I return all phone calls within 24 hours and I’m prompt with my appointments. If I say I’m going to be somewhere at a certain time, I’m there.
Bruce is fully licensed and certified for residential, commercial, and industrial properties, providing interior and exterior treatments. A-Veterans handles demo inspections and bird control, and they can eliminate any problem a homeowner or business owner is having.
“We provide monthly, quarterly, weekly, annual, and bi-annual programs,” Bruce says. “We provide services for all rodents and insects, including ants, termites, bees, mosquitoes, ticks and conduct inspections for any real estate property; transaction, refinancing, and pre-demolition.
Bruce’s four decades in the industry speaks for itself. Questions and consultations are always complimentary.
Winning the war on pests, one customer at a time, is more than just a motto at A-Veterans Pest Control, it’s an approach to an ongoing battle to keep multi-legged guests outside client homes and places of business.
