Background Information

The following information is often requested from potential customers who are considering the services of ADAM'S but are unfamiliar with who we are and with our excellent reputation!

The following items are brief in description. Please feel free to call for any additional information to help you with your selection.

LENGTH OF TIME IN BUSINESS:

ADAM'S was formed by Don Hanson and Harold Leyse. Both Don and Harold had worked for many years with a large regional pest control firm and decided to put their talents to work locally and in 1971 they started out with no customers. In the ensuing years, ADAM'S has grown to become a recognized leader in the pest control industry. Although Don passed away in October 1995, ADAM'S continues to be locally owned and operated.

HAROLD LEYSE:

Harold Leyse is a nationally recognized leader in the pest control industry. In 1993, he received the PCT/ZENECA Leadership Award. He has been a four term President of the Minnesota Pest Management Association (MPMA) and is a member of the MPMA Hall of Fame.

AFFILIATIONS:

ADAM'S is an active member of the National Pest Control Association, serving on several national committees, giving input and receiving up to date information regarding products, procedures and regulations. We are also members of the Minnesota Pest Control Association and have held several offices including the office of president on several occasions. We are also members of various trade associations. We welcome you to call the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota (651-699-1111).

TRAINING:

Training is important to us and we feel that it has been, and continues to be, a major factor in our continued success and growth. Every new Pest Control Technician is subjected to intense classroom and field training until they become state certified. All technicians are fully licensed and certified before being allowed to work on their own. In order to keep current with new products and procedures, we hold company wide training sessions every month. All technicians must also attend an annual Department of Agriculture sponsored re-certification conference held in the spring. Each technician is a graduate of (or working toward graduating) Purdue University’s Pest Control Technology courses. We strive to have each of our technicians increase their skills and become master licensed.

QUALITY OF WORK:

We believe that we have an excellent working relationship with the state and various local health departments, the University of Minnesota and the Department of Agriculture (Agronomy Services Division).

Our main goal is to provide our customers with the best possible service available for their investment. We emphasize the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach -- to reduce the use of pesticides in the environment.

FULL SERVICE:

We strive to fulfill all of your pest control needs. We service commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential. We not only cover the common pests but also wildlife management, such as raccoons, squirrels, woodchucks, and skunks. We also perform bird and bat services, and fumigations from small furniture items, to semi-trailers and box cars, to structural.

SIZE:

ADAM'S is approximately the fifth largest pest control company in the state, out of about a hundred companies ranging in size from one man operators to the large national companies. We presently employ about 40 men and women. We have grown every year since 1971, not through acquisition but due primarily to our excellent reputation for providing quality service.

SERVICE AREA:

We are presently providing service to an 80+ mile radius of the Twin City metro area, including St. Cloud, Brainerd, Duluth, Mankato, Alexandria, Red Wing, Rochester, Western Wisconsin and all areas in between.
