Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend — it’s a time to reflect on the courage, service, and selflessness of those who gave everything for our country.

May we never forget their sacrifice, and may we continue to live in a way that honors their legacy.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. ❤️🤍

🕷️ Tick Awareness Week 🕷️

Ticks are more than just a nuisance—they can carry diseases and pose real health risks to both people and pets.

As temperatures warm up, tick activity increases across the Midwest. That means now is the time to be proactive.

✔️ Check yourself, your kids, and your pets after spending time outdoors
✔️ Keep grass trimmed and reduce areas where ticks can hide
✔️ Consider professional treatment options to help protect your property

At Olson’s Pest Technicians, we offer solutions to help reduce tick populations and keep your outdoor spaces more enjoyable.

If you’re concerned about ticks around your home or business, we’re here to help.

Much of our bat exclusion work takes place on roofs, so investing in proper fall protection and training is essential. We’re committed to making sure our team has the tools and knowledge to work safely and professionally in every environment.

A big thank you to Ballantyne Gear for traveling to South Dakota and spending three days training our team. We appreciate the partnership and the investment in helping us continue to do the job right.

This type of training allows us to deliver the level of service our customers expect—done safely and done right.

If you’re dealing with bats or noticing activity around your home or business, now is the time to address it. Our team is equipped to handle it safely and effectively.

April is National Pest Management Month and with warmer spring temperatures in the Midwest, termite swarming season is underway.

This is a real photo of termites actively feeding on one of our bait stations at a home we protect in Sioux Falls.

With warmer spring temperatures, termite swarming season is beginning across the Midwest, and activity like this is exactly what we want to see outside your home, not inside it.

At Olson’s Pest Technicians, we offer both active and preventative termite solutions to protect your home before damage starts.

Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage each year, often without being noticed until it’s too late.

Don’t let your largest investment be at risk.

🐜 April is National Pest Management Month 🐭

Pest management is about more than just eliminating pests—it’s about protecting health, property, and peace of mind.

At Olson’s Pest Technicians, we’re proud to serve our communities by providing safe, effective, and professional pest solutions every day.

We recently kicked off our spring season with our annual Spring Business Development Meeting, focused on personal and professional growth, training, and continuing education for our team. We’re excited and prepared for the busy season ahead.

We also had the chance to enjoy some time together during our casino night social event—a great reminder that strong teams are built both in and out of the workplace. A special thank you to the Yankton Sertoma Club for dealing cards and helping make the night a success. Congrats to Calla on winning our high roller prize of a 2-night stay in Deadwood!

If you’re seeing signs of pests this spring, now is the time to act.
