Компания Thomas Pest Services открыла новый филиал в Саратоге для расширения штата и сокращения поездок сотрудников

Trade Up: Saratoga expansion for Thomas Pest Services (WRGB) — Thomas Pest Services is growing its footprint in the Capital Region with the opening of a new branch in Saratoga, a move aimed at reducing commute times for employees and bringing new career opportunities to the North Country. The family-owned pest control company, which has operated in the area for more than 15 years, officially marked the expansion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Company leadership emphasized that the new location is as much an investment in their workforce as it is in their customers. By establishing a permanent Saratoga office, technicians who live in the area no longer have to commute from the company's Albany headquarters to start their day. "I think it's really exciting because now there's a lot of people in the North Country that don't have to travel down, so it really opens up the pool of people that we can bring in and develop into this industry and to the organization," said Bill Clark, president of Thomas Pest Services. The expansion aligns with the company's ongoing workforce development efforts, recently featured in the CBS 6 "Trade Up" series. Clark noted that pest control is an accessible trade for newcomers, particularly those looking to switch careers. The company covers the cost of licensing and focuses heavily on continuous education—including "Training Tuesdays" and bi-monthly development meetings—ensuring new hires are fully supported in the field. "At the heart of every decision we make is our team," said Sarah Thomas Clark, vice president of Thomas Pest Services. "By opening a branch closer to where many of our technicians live and work, we're creating a better experience for our employees while continuing to provide the responsive, high-quality service our customers have come to expect." The Saratoga branch marks another milestone in a broader growth strategy for the company, which recently relocated its corporate headquarters and expanded services into northern Ulster and Dutchess counties. Despite this rapid growth and long-term goals to eventually expand into Western New York markets like Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, Bill Clark ruled out the idea of franchising. He stated that keeping the business family-owned is essential to maintaining control over the tight-knit culture and high standards that have driven their success.
