March 23, 2020 at 11 AM EST, Governor Whitmer officially implemented a ‘stay-at-home’ order. This order was set to curve the spread of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic beginning March 24th at 12:01 AM.
The order states:
“To suppress the spread of COVID-19, to prevent the state’s health care system from being overwhelmed, to allow time for the production of critical test kits, ventilators, and personal protective equipment, and to avoid needless deaths, it is reasonable and necessary to direct residents to remain at home or in their place of residence to the maximum extent feasible. To that end, on March 23, 2020, I issued Executive Order 2020-21, ordering all people in Michigan to stay home and stay safe. The order limits gatherings and travel, and workers who are not necessary to sustain or protect life to stay home.”
However, we believe it is imperative to address how this affects our services. According to the Michigan Pest Management Association: “Both NPMA and MPMA firmly believe that structural pest control is an essential industry that must continue to provide the valuable services we offer during this pandemic.”
We will continue to operate business as usual. However, we will make sure to practice proper social distancing; as a result, this ensures we keep both our employees and customers as safe as possible.
We will operate based on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Safe Work Practices and Personal Protective Equipment
Coronavirus will not stop from keeping your home pest-free!
