The InnoTech Process

Our process begins with you—our customer.  From the time we take your call to the completion of service, we are on your agenda every step of the way.  This means physically answering your call so that we are immediately positioned to learn about your pest problems, perform a detailed inspection of your property and conditions conducive to pest entry, presenting options for remediation as well as future pest prevention, and ensuring that we maintain open and continuous communication every step of the way.

We are transparent with our information, pricing, customer education and our state-of-the-art software that allows us further flexibility when planning our visit to your home.  We either provide “on-time” appointments or no more than a “2-hour” window of time for each appointment.  We know you are busy and we respect your time—so no more waiting around all day for your technician to show up.  Ahead of every appointment, we call to let you know we are en route!  Prefer a text or email?  Our PestRoutes software allows for that flexibility—and the benefit to you is streamlined communication that minimizes scheduling errors.

At the completion of every service, an email hits your inbox with a completed and detailed service ticket so you can easily see what was done, how it was done, when it was done and catalog your service visit history for future reference.  Every customer is granted access to our PestRoutes customer portal where your complete service history can be accessed, where invoices can be viewed for secure online payment and where additional services can be requested.

Our combined industry experience approaches 100 years—so we have had more than ample time to hone our processes.  We differentiate our business by getting the little things right.  That means—listening to our customers, devising solutions based on your concerns and needs, showing up in a timely manner, providing you with top-notch entomologist-trained technicians that are competent and excellent communicators—concerned with protecting your families and pets from nuisance or dangerous pests, providing secure and flexible billing and payment options, and if we ever make a misstep—we own it.  That is the InnoTech Pest difference!

Prior to forming InnoTech Pest, Dr. Kramer served for 22 years as a U.S. Army entomologist following his undergraduate degree in entomology at the University of Florida. Nationally recognized as a leader in his field, Dr. Kramer is one of the top entomologists in the country and is a Board Certified Entomologist (BCE) in Urban Entomology with over 40 years of experience. He has held the prestigious position of Director of Research, Education, and Technical Services for the National Pest Management Association, consulted internationally for the U.S. State Department, wrote a monthly column in Pest Control Technology, and authored the most recent edition of the Technician’s Handbook—used by thousands of field technicians throughout the country. He has worked alongside his son and co-founder Joshua for the past 14 years.

Dr. Richard Kramer, our co-founder and CEO received his BS in Agriculture (1969), MS (1975) in veterinary entomology, and his Ph.D. in urban entomology (1987) from the University of Florida. In fact, Dr. Kramer was the first Ph.D. student of the world-renowned UF professor Dr. Phil Koehler.  He is a member of the Entomological Society of America and a Board Certified Entomologist in Urban and General Entomology.  After spending 22 years as an Army entomologist and serving on the joint-forces pest-management board, he spent 6 years as the Director of Education and Technical Resources for our industry’s trade association, the National Pest Management Association.  

Combining his unmatched background with 15 additional years of experience as an owner-operator of a pest management business, you can rest assured that our technical knowledge is our greatest asset.  All of our state-registered and state-licensed applicators receive on-going state-mandated continuing education courses.  In-house, our team members attend monthly pest management training meetings.  A typical in-house training meeting would involve:

  • Prepared agenda for technician and office staff.
  • Inclusion of technicians and office staff (so that we are prepared for you at every level). 
  • Interactive participation, dialogue and a recap of pests observed in the field during the previous monthly period.  
  • Discussion of seasonal, relevant pests observed or expected during seasonal time-frame.
  • Microscopic viewing, participation and overhead projection including biology, habits and discussion of synthetic insecticidal, organic insecticidal, baiting/trapping options, as well as non-chemical exclusionary measures.
  • Source of pest issue identification and subsequent resolutions. 
  • Operational and administrative leadership discussion.
  • Question & Answers with Dr. Kramer and the executive team.

As a benefit to our customer base, we happily provide “no-charge” training programs for our client groups such as property managers, tenant associations, HOAs, special needs, homeless shelter communities and realtor teams.  We happily provide this service in addition to other pro-bono services as part of our commitment to community service.

To lead the industry with the highest regard for ethics, honesty, technical ability, and environmental sustainability.  We pledge to provide our customers with exemplary customer-focused service and our growth will be fueled by this commitment.  To provide our customers necessary and complete pest management solutions that meet their needs, their concerns and their budgets.
