AMBLER, Pennsylvania (Friday, November 02, 2012) – Pest Management Professionals from across the country gathered at Allergy Technologies’ “Evening on the Island” event during PestWorld to discuss industry news in a social atmosphere. The event was held on October 18th at the Boston Sheraton Hotel with approximately 150 PMPs in attendance.
The event was hosted by Allergy Technologies LLC, manufacturer of ActiveGuard™ Mattress Liners. According to Joseph Latino, Chief Operating Officer (COO) for Allergy Technologies, the “social” aspect of the gathering was the secret to its success.
“PMPs attending PestWorld have a diverse variety of evening activities available to them, but we wanted to host a ‘party’ in the truest sense of the word so that industry professionals could gather and relax,” said Latino. “For that reason the event was designed as a social gathering with no product or sales pitches…it really was a complete success! We’ve heard from many PMPs since who have thanked us for hosting such a unique event.”
The room was transformed into a tropical motif, complete with rattan furniture, dramatic up- lighting of tropical trees in ActiveGuard’s blue and fresh tropical arrangements throughout. In keeping with the Boston locale, Allergy Technologies provided a full raw bar, lobster rolls and other fresh fish that everyone enjoyed.
This event followed Allergy Technologies’ successful nationwide promotion – “Take the ActiveGuard Challenge” – in which PMPs who purchased ActiveGuard Mattress Liners were given a chance to win a new iPad with every order. The promotion ran from July through September.
ActiveGuard is the only standalone pro-active strategy for preventing a potential bed bug infestation. Distinctly different, and a powerful alternative to encasements, these liners actually kill bed bugs within 72 hours; even those resistant strains studied! These thin and breathable liners are easily installed onto mattresses and box springs and kill bed bugs and dust mites continuously for up to two years.
The Company’s field and observational research clearly demonstrates the use of ActiveGuard in bed bug control programs result in reduced technician call backs; installation at initial service as only four sizes fit almost every mattress and box spring; quick installation by one technician; no added replacement expense if ripped or torn; and, increased customer confidence. All of these factors lead to increased revenue for the PMP on each bed bug job ActiveGuard is used!
Extensively lab and field tested, ActiveGuard’s ability to keep on killing bed bugs provides continual protection against any adult bed bugs, nymphs or eggs that may be introduced into a room.
