What’s the most potent sales tool for your pest control business? A large Yellow Pages ad? The latest radio jingle? Think again.
According to research, nearly 97 out of 100 homeowners consult online testimonials when selecting an extermination service provider. Customer advocates are your best salespeople.

So they turn to online reviews for confidence that an exterminator can competently eliminate the health hazard before it multiplies.
