Veteran Pest Control Supervisor Wins ‘Ant-Man’ T-Shirt Giveaway

A 28-year industry veteran, Vegas has been at Braman for 3 ½ years and his responsibilities include overseeing five service professionals, troubleshooting problems, checking in on customers including audits, routing and various office requirements. “I like the fact that we provide a beneficial service in terms of public safety and health,” he said. “Ours is an industry with tangible and rewarding results.”

 

Vegas also enjoys the family atmosphere at Braman. “The owner and upper management really care about the employees as much as the customers,” he said. “It shows in training programs and a variety of incentives. There is also an annual summer outing to promote comradery and reward employees for a job well done.”

Although Vegas hasn’t seen “Ant-Man” yet, the movie is on his “To See” list.

 

Currently, his favorite pest-related movie is “Mousehunt,” which also fared well on a recent PCT survey (see below).

 

“The Mousehunt casting of Christopher Walken as an exterminator was great,” he said. “I am a big fan of his. It was also hilarious to see the lengths the two main character go to kill one mouse. While not as blatant, I’ve seen some pretty strange efforts by people to rid themselves of mice and other pests. They usually fail occasionally making things worse and then need to call in the pros.

 

As part of this contest PCT also polled all entrants to find out their favorite pest-related movie and “Ant-Man” was a close second to “Arachnophobia.”
