It isn't meet the team Monday, but we still want to give a special shoutout to the birthday boy today: Eddie Jacobs!

Eddie was promoted to Brunswick/Columbus county manager last year and has done an amazing job overseeing his technicians. It has been a treat to watch him grow within the company over these past couple of years and we look forward to having him on the team for many more years!
So, if you see Eddie out and about today, be sure to wish him a Happy Birthday!!!

It is time for Meet the Team Monday!

This go around we decided to take a break from the boys and give some special recognition to the diet coke loving birthday girl: Robie Elmore!!🎉

Robie has been with the company for about 10 years. She started off in the termite department handling the scheduling of pre-construction treatments, post-construction treatments and all the paperwork that goes along with it. Then took a break for about a year to spend time with her growing family, before returning to jump into scheduling part of Brunswick/Columbus county routes.

Be sure to wish Robie a Happy Birthday this week and say hi to Millie whenever you stop by the office!

*Disclaimer: no diet cokes were consumed the day of this picture.*
