This week we’d like you to meet:
(Photo on Right) Ladybug Pest Management, Inc. & (Ladybug Canine Scent Detection Services)
Owners: Frank & Sandy Honess
Residing in the 1st State of Delaware, Frank & Sandy Honess started Ladybug Pest Management, Inc. in January of 2010. Prior to Ladybug, they owned a construction company (Honess Construction & Backhoe Service, Inc.) for 20 years. Unfortunately, the economic down slide took a huge toll on their construction company and forced them to end the business. Sandy remained working in the legal arena as a Legal Assistant and Frank was very fortunate to find a position as a Service Mgr. for Orkin Pest Control in Maryland. He loved the pest control business. However, after working for himself for 20 years, it was very difficult to adjust to a large corporate environment. He was not happy and knew he had to do something else. Thus, the beginning of Ladybug Pest Management. With the bed bug resurgence, Frank and Sandy decided to send a rescued beagle, named Daisey, to a training facility to learn to scent live bed bugs and their eggs. She was a star pupil and graduated with high honors! We now have our 2nd canine (“Dolley”) in training to join Daisey in the Fall. “Hello, Dolley, Good-bye Bed bugs”
So what is important to Frank & Sandy?
Our family (which includes our 4 dogs), friends and customers are very important to us. We pride ourselves on being a family-owned business. We treat each customer and job performed as if we were doing that service for our Mom or Dad. We are a firm believer in doing the job right the first time. But also standing behind our work, if the need arises to return for any reason. Exceptional Customer Service is so important in these days and economic times. Many times folks are looking for the best and sometimes a lower price. However, the relationships we build with our customers, offering to go above and beyond, we believe has made the difference when a customer makes a choice on choosing their pest control company.
So what makes Frank & Sandy want to get up and out of bed every day and go to work?
We thoroughly enjoy what we are doing. We love the pest control industry. Bed bugs have been a huge part of our business for the past year, with no immediate end in sight. We like helping people and educating them regarding pests. We are honest with our potential customers and if there is something they can do on their own, to save them money, we will advise them on do-it-yourself tips, etc… We have always had a love of dogs and our canine scent detection beagles have been a huge blessing for Ladybug. Although “Daisey & Dolley” are working dogs, we love them as much as our other two non-working beagles. It still amazes us how smart these dogs are at finding bed bugs.
So what has made Frank & Sandy who they are today?
We give thanks to God. We believe that He opened the door for us to begin Ladybug Pest Management when we had to end our construction company. Even though we wish we were a little younger, we know that Ladybug will continue to grow and we are so thankful for all of our customers who have brought us into our 2nd year of business success. Although our parents are no longer with us, we owe so much to them for their love and support . We thank them for instilling in us the hard work attitude, moral values and perseverance it has taken and will continue to take for Ladybug to offer our customers and new customers the best service we can.
