Batzner Garners Awards and Places in “Top 100” Pest Control Companies in Nation and “Top Ten”
Small Businesses in Waukesha County

(July 8, 2009, New Berlin—) If Wheaties

can call itself “The Breakfast of Champions”, then

Batzner Pest Management, New Berlin, can call

itself “The Pest Management Company of

Champions”.

That’s so because the company has

recently earned several prestigious national and

local recognitions.

*

For the seventh year in a row, Batzner

was named one of the “Top 100” pest control

companies in the USA by Pest Control Technology

magazine. Batzner achieved that distinction by

generating revenues of almost $7 million in 2008.

To date, revenues for 2009 have grown by

approximately six percent.

* The Batzner organization placed in the

“Top Ten” small businesses of Waukesha

County for the first time. The Waukesha County

Chamber, BizTimes Milwaukee– a local business

magazine, and an independent panel of judges

evaluated businesses in the county named the

Batzner as one of the best companies in Waukesha

County. Their criteria included customer focus,

financial growth, employee growth and relations,

and community involvement.

* Batzner was recently honored with the

International IPM (Integrated Pest

Management) Award by the IPM Institute of North

America.

The award recognizes Batzner’s efforts

to reduce potential risks to human health and our

environment.

* Last year Batzner earned a “Quality Pro”
designation by the National Pest Management
Association.
As a QualityPro-approved company, Batzner Pest is among pest management companies around the country that took steps to ensure a higher level of business conduct and customer service.

The designation, like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, offers consumers solid proof of the thoroughness and quality of a pest control company’s business practices.

* And last year, it was named as one of the

“Best Places to Work in Southeastern Wisconsin.”

Jerry Batzner, company president, is both

“gratified and enthused” that his employees have

worked hard to help the company achieve its

“championship” status. “We appreciate the

recognition we receive because it lets us know we

are doing our job,” he says.

The 62-year-old company, which employs

approximately 75 people, specializes in the

Balanced As Nature—B.A.N. System™, an

integrated pest management service. With service

centers in New Berlin, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac,

Racine and Madison, the Batzner organization’s

size has grown seven-fold since 1990.

Approximately 70 percent of Batzner’s business is commercial and the balance residential. In addition to general pest control services, they offer bird and nuisance wildlife control, as well as add-on services, such as bioremediation (drain cleaning) and building repairs.

“We focus on retaining our existing customers and steadily growing each service center by offering quality service delivered consistently,” says Batzner. “And we focus on hiring quality employees and providing them the support they need to perform quality service.”
