Brooklyn Pest Pro Helps Save a Life

Standard Pest Management bed bug specialist Durga Singh took control of a medical emergency at one of the accounts he services.


BROOKLYN, N.Y. — When Standard Pest Management, bed bug specialist N. Durga Singh arrived to perform a bed bug service he encountered a more immediate threat than blood sucking Cimex.  
 
Since a bed bug issue had been previously established at this residence, he had plugged in his steamer and was performing a walk-through when he came upon a woman seated in a chair surrounded by two excited people. While no one spoke English their actions and the failing pallor of the woman indicated she needed help and fast. At that point Singh dialed 911 and informed them of the situation. But his attention to detail did not stop there. Having had trouble himself gaining access to the building, he went downstairs to await and then direct responding emergency personnel. The defibrillator was used and the person was transported to the hospital in time. 
 
Singh will return this week to address the bed bug issue and Astoria, N.Y.-based Standard Pest Management President Gil Bloom says, “I’m sure he will be well received. Durga has been with Standard since starting his career in pest management over two years ago and we are pleased to have him as part of the Standard family.”
