JAX Chamber: Turner Pest Control Launches Innovative Residential Pest Control Technology In Florida Market

Press release from the JAX Chamber:

October 22, 2021

Jacksonville, Fla. –– Oct. 13, 2021 –– Turner Pest Control, an Anticimex company, revealed its latest technology in the fight against pests at home. Anticimex SMART is a digital pest control system that is now available for residential customers in all Florida markets served by Turner Pest Control.

With Anticimex SMART, customers enjoy 24/7, eco-friendly, real-time monitoring from Turner Pest Control –– without having to lift a finger. From basement to attic, Anticimex SMART technology automatically alerts Turner Pest Control when rodent activity is detected, even before it can become a problem. This new residential protection comes at the perfect time, as rodent — and specifically rat — infestations are on the rise, partially due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

This digital technology runs on its own 4G or 5G LTE network, which means no WiFi is needed from customers. The sensors collect passive infrared data and time stamps, detecting heat and motion signatures of rodents, immediately alerting the technicians at Turner Pest Control. By constantly monitoring and instantly reacting, Anticimex SMART proactively detects rodent activity within homes. This provides an incredible sense of security and safety for Turner customers who can now rest easy knowing their homes and families are protected from pests that can carry harmful diseases and cause severe property damage. 

Commercial customers have taken advantage of this elevated level of protection for the past four years; now, after ever-growing demand for a residential option, this groundbreaking technology is available to all.

“This innovative technology is an exciting new addition to our residential pest control arsenal,” said Donnie Sanderson, Operations Technology Manager of Turner Pest Control. “We are committed to being the best in the business for our customers, and Anticimex SMART is the newest way we are getting ahead of pests. Being proactive instead of reactive in the fight against pests is a game changer. We are thrilled to offer this service to both our residential and commercial customers.”

Anticimex SMART is available as part of the popular SMART TurnerGuard package, which combines state-of-the-art lifetime termite protection with all-inclusive pest control and 24/7 digital monitoring of rodent activity for ultimate pest protection. For those who already have termite protection, Turner also offers a SMART pest control package, which features all the perks of SMART TurnerGuard without termite control.

Turner Pest Control is one of the fastest-growing companies in the Florida and South Georgia region. The company’s strategic expansion to reach new customers across various markets provides a timely opportunity to showcase the Anticimex SMART technology to residential customers. The combination of business expansion and eco-friendly technological advancements has set this region on a path to the future of pest control solutions, especially as states across the U.S. move to ban harmful rodenticides.

“As Turner Pest Control continues to expand, we are committed to providing our valued customers exceptional quality and service by delivering new benefits like the Anticimex SMART pest solution,” says Turner Pest Control President Bill Talon. “We were founded as a family-owned, neighbor-focused business and we look forward to continuing to build upon that legacy by providing unsurpassed service offerings and innovations to our customers.”
