Self Identified Competition
Hollenbeck pest control Terminix Orkin. These pest control companies are my direct competitors. They have access to funds and outbid, me on most leads. They also have access to drive by advertising due to their trucks are commercially lettered while mine is currently unlettered due to lack of funding. What makes me different is the fact that I worked for mos of my competitors. Some pest control companies were great. However, they lacked technician experience. Some companies on the other hand treated their customers as just a number. Urban Xterminator puts all focus and efforts into providing exceptional customer service while delivering exceptional service, keeping our community pest free. At Urban exterminator our customers are not a number our customers our family our community is family.
