Excellence in Action

On behalf of BASF, it’s my sincere honor to recognize this year’s PCT/BASF Technicians of the Year: Thomas Detwyler, Samuel Valle Dominguez and Dennis Kounnas. Each of these outstanding professionals demonstrates the highest standards of technical expertise, customer service and integrity. Their strong work ethic and deep industry knowledge reflect the true spirit of excellence that drives our entire industry forward.

This year, our BASF Team has marked a milestone for Termidor® termiticide/insecticide: 25 years of providing unmatched performance, proving excellence is timeless. From our iconic Termidor® brand that revolutionized termite control to Ridesco™ WG Insecticide, our newest solution delivering fast-acting performance against spiders, large cockroaches and other general pests, BASF continues to innovate with purpose.

Just as Thomas, Samuel and Dennis have earned recognition for their dedication and results, BASF remains committed to supporting pest management professionals with products that deliver efficacy, efficiency and profitability — the foundation for your success. From proven mainstays to our newest innovations, our focus remains the same: to help you achieve outstanding outcomes for your customers and your business.

At BASF, we believe our innovations are only as strong as the professionals who put them to work. The exceptional achievements of Thomas, Sammy and Dennis inspire us to continue developing solutions, trainings and resources that empower pest management professionals everywhere to build lasting legacies of their own.

We congratulate this year’s winners and thank all technicians across the industry who demonstrate every day that excellence truly is timeless.
