The French wording for Pest Management, ‘’gestion parasitaire’’, has 20 years
In an industry where prevention plays a leading role, exterminating or pest control were showing only one aspect of the work of the pest management specialist. In 1998, Maheu&Maheu dared to launch the term "gestion parasitaire" now widespread throughout the industry. "There is still work to be done to explain what we do because of the mysterious side related to our field but the public is gradually getting used to this relatively recent wording" said Michel Maheu, General manager.
The secret to longevity
In business, you cannot sit on your laurels. We must constantly renew ourselves and push the limits, not only at the technical level but also at the operational level. "All our decisions are made thinking long-term. The opening of share ownership to our employees in 1994 is certainly no stranger to the high level of satisfaction of our clients! Our customer retention rate is close to 92%" said Michel Maheu.
