Orkin, Inc. Termite Pros Named to Industry All-Star Team

Three Pros Honored for Exemplary Service, Knowledge and Teamwork

ATLANTA, May 15, 2007 – BASF Professional Pest Control named three Orkin Inc. termite Pros to its 16-member 2007 Termidor® termiticide-insecticide All-Star Pro team. BASF will honor Orkin’s Charles Gragg of Springfield, Mo., Michael Howell of Pikeville, Ky., and Rodney L. Williams of Doraville, Ga., at a special awards ceremony at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in San Francisco on July 10.

Launched in 2006, the Termidor All-Star Pro program recognizes the significant contributions Pros make to the pest management industry. A panel of judges composed of senior BASF personnel selected the 16 winners, including Orkin’s three Pros, from a field of 100 entrants. Pros were nominated for their exemplary customer service, knowledge of termite biology and treatment, and contributions to their pest management company.

“Orkin is proud to have three of our Pros recognized for their contributions to the national pest management industry,” said Glen Rollins, Orkin Inc. president and COO. “Charles, Michael and Rodney are true examples of Orkin’s dedication to industry-leading innovation and training, and excellent customer service.”

Gragg, a 16-year Orkin veteran and two-time President’s Club (Orkin’s top recognition program) winner, is honored to receive the Termidor All-Star award. Gragg attributes his success to the support, encouragement and training he has received at his Orkin branch. According to Springfield, Mo., branch manager Rusty Cooper, Gragg is a well-regarded problem-solver and team player with excellent customer service skills. “Charles is the best termite Pro I have seen in 22 years,” Cooper said.

Pro Howell has served in both Pro (termite and pest control) and sales roles during his nine years with Orkin. Pikeville, Ky., branch manager Roxie Bowling values Howell’s strong work ethic in striving to effectively treat termites at the first application. Howell’s customers also appreciate his attention to detail, as seen by the long-term relationships Howell has maintained with customers from his former pest control route.

In his six years at Orkin, Williams has developed strong customer relationships and has been recognized as a 2006 President’s Club winner. Mike Gonzalez, service manager for the Chamblee, Ga., Orkin branch, says customers specifically request Williams as their Pro because he treats their property as if it is his own. Williams thrives on the challenge of finding ways to make his customers feel secure in how their termite treatment is handled. He carefully explains how he treats and then provides his personal phone number for customer questions.

Orkin’s Atlanta-based Training Center is a vital resource for informing Pros about termite treatment and preparing them to excel in customer service. Orkin leaders have invested approximately $10 million in the company’s Training Center and training capabilities, adding a 13,000-square-foot expansion in 2005, which includes a restaurant kitchen, hospital room, hotel room, supermarket layout and warehouse space for commercial pest control Pros. The Atlanta-based facility also includes a full-sized, functional house for applied learning of pest and termite control techniques. Cutaway walls and examples of all common building techniques provide trainees with first-hand examples of what they can expect to find in homes across the country. In recognition for this unique training environment, Orkin was named as part of Training magazine’s prestigious Top 125 list for 2007. This is the fifth straight year the company has been included on this list.
