What I got out of Pubcon Las Vegas that no one else did?

I got this photo taken of me and Carrie Marlow while walking into a social media session! Carrie Marlow just so happens to be a loyal Bulwark Pest Control customer in Las Vegas. She told me so as she was scanning my pubcon pass. I was totally excited.

I love meeting Bulwark customers. She went on to say that she loved our service. We chit chatted a bit about the service and life in Las Vegas. Ironically, I was missing my session on social media because I was being social!  But that’s the point of social media! Social media is a tool for connecting with people.

Social media is the new frontier for a lot of SEO guys. It’s hip. It’s trendy. It’s happening now. But what exactly is social media and what’s so great about social media?

What’s great about social media when used properly is that it allows individuals to connect on a more regular bases. Sometimes it allows a more personal touch to a business. A public voice. Someone you and I can identify with. Like @DerrickWheeler, a new friend of mine from Microsoft. Now Microsoft has a whole new face for me. A regular guy just like me that likes t-shirts and jeans. I actually have a better outlook on Microsoft having met and tweeted with Derrick.

Facebook, Twitter, and other websites that are driven on communicating publicly through the web. Facebook has your status, “what are you doing now?”. It follows your gaming like mafia and farmville. It’s an open page for all of your friends to comment on what your doing and keep up to date with you. It’s social. It’s “hey how are you doing” or “congrats on your promotion.” Twitter is much of the same except it’s open for anyone and everyone including google. It’s micro-blogging as you are limited to 140 characters. Twitter is about keeping it short and brief. For extreme users it like public text messaging. I’m at the store. I’m meeting @joeblow. I”m walking my dog.

But don’t miss the boat here. Most people don’t want to be bombarded with endless marketing tactics. Tweeting that you sell shoes every 5 minutes gets a little annoying. Connecting with people should be your goal in using these platforms. Letting them speak with you. Letting your loyal customers and/or employees see the direction the company is moving. C-O-N-N-E-C-T-I-N-G. Got it?

To sum it up what I learned was:

1-Social media is a tool.

2-It’s an extention of you and/or your business. Its not you or your business.

3-Don’t let it consume you or distract you from the big picture.

4-Don’t be a tweet, or another face, or a lemming. Be you. Be real. Be social. Hence the name “Social Media”.

Thanks for listening!

Top 6 Reasons to Get Ant Control

1- Deadly Painful bites. Ants can cause very painful bites and for some these bites can actually prove to be fatal. Harvester ants carry the most potent toxins, follow by fire ants and a few other nasty little ants.

2- Damage to food. Pantries all over the US have suffered from sugar ant, thief ants, Argentine ants, and odorous house ants. There is no way of knowing how much food has been thrown out after being ravaged by these invasive ants.

3- Spreading of Diseases – Not all ants spread disease causing bacteria, but among those that do you will find the ever so common crazy ant.

4- Damage to wood framing. Carpenter ants chew on wood.  They can weaken a homes structure.  An infestation of these ants is easily recognized by the saw dust/ wood particles they leave behind. Easily recognized but hard to get rid of.

5- Damage to electrical wiring. Some ants are so small that they will crawl into a structures electrical wiring.  Rasberry ants have specifically been identified and reported in short circuiting electrical wires.

6- House fires. While not common there is a real threat of house fires being caused by ants.  Carpenter ants that leave wood debris laying in your walls leave a trail of fire dangers. Just last week carpenter ants were named as the cause of house fire last week. The Florida home caught fire and caused 80,000 in damages and all because of one tiny little black ant. The ant colony was making their home in the wall near an electrical outlet. When one of the carpenter ants got grounded by the electrical current running through the wiring it caught on fire and the fire quickly spread out of the outlet and into the family room.

“I have used Bulwark Pest Control for a long time and just had to write you about the amazing service I received from your technician Brent Beirdneau #202984. He did an incredible job servicing my yard. He sprayed all the areas that were noted on my account without skipping one and without having to be reminded by me. He is the type of worker you can tell takes pride in doing the best job can. I was very impressed. Please have him service my home each month! You should be glad to have someone with his work ethic representing your company! I hope you will consider giving him a raise – he is an employee you don’t want to lose!”

Jennifer says:
“We’ve been using Bulwark since 2005 and they’ve always provided excellent service. Ryan Peck has been our tech for the past few years and he is so courteous and professional. He always makes sure to knock in case the kids are napping or if I missed some of the kids’ toys in the back he picks them up for me. He always asks if we’ve seen any bugs in the house or if any areas need special attention. Thankfully, Bulwark’s spray is so efficient I rarely see any bugs in the house, which is really unusual for the summer here in Las Vegas. If you live in the desert, it’s pretty much a requirement to have pest control, it just makes sense to go with the one that is the safest for your kids and provides excellent service.”

Robin says:
“We just started new service from Bulwark and the first treatment was very good. They sprayed inside, outside and was sure to cover everything. When I called back to schedule the next appointment I told them I really liked the first guy and they told me he only does the initial treatment. I thought great just another pest company that does an awesome job the first time and then send someone out for the rest of the contract to do half the job. I have to say I am extremely happy. Billy Mac was my technician(#202787) and he was professional, nice and very accomodating! I do hope we will have him the entire time of our contract. Also, for the first time since living in our home, we are finding dead scorpions!!!!!”

Organic Pest Control Joke

The University of California suggests an owl as Organic Pest control. But a professor from the University of California says “Why not try it? It seems a great alternative.” I have nothing personal against organic pest control solutions or green pest control treatments. I only have a problem with them when they claim to be effective and they turn out to be very ineffective.

5 Stars: Bulwark Exterminating – Vegas Pest Control is on top of it! (by Wanda E.)

Hired these guys to spray for ants. I first read the reviews on the internet and they were highly recommended so I figured they would be able to tackle the ant problem. It has been over 1 month and still not ants.
Thank you all so much. I agree with them about not spraying the inside of the house. They just did the outside and it cured our problem and no chemicals that I have to worry about my dog inhaling.

5 Stars: Ed Sakugawa (by Donna A.)

Ed has been servicing our home for quite a long time and we wouldn't have anyone else do our service. He does such an excellent job and my husband gets along with Ed. He knows what to expect each time and if ever we would have a problem we know we could call Ed and things would be taken care of in a very professional and caring way. Thank you, Ed,Sincerely,Ben & Donna Ariota

5 Stars from Dee from Las Vegas:

“Ed Sakugawa is Great Tech. He is VERY CONSIDERATE AND KNOWLEDGABLE. HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP US RIGHT AWAY AND ALWAYS ANSWERS THE THE PHONE NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY IT IS IT AND ALWAYS HAS ANSWERS.

BEFORE ED CAME WE WERE ABOUT TO GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY UNTIL YOU ASIGNED US ED…AND THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.IF EVERYONE AT BULWARK IS LIKE ED , THEN YOUR COMPANY WILL SURELY SUCCEED!!! ED IS A WONDERFUL TECH… DONT EVER LOSE HIM…”
