SenSci’s Raving Fans
When we were looking to get out of the canine scent detection business, we were searching for a product that would be the pathway into our top commercial accounts and that product was the SenSci ActivVolcano. We use the ActivVolcanos in all of our hospitality services because these devices give us an even greater level of success and more consistency than when we were using canines for bed bug detection. The SenSci Volcanos are also less obvious than other interception devices and in our hospitality accounts we prefer that, as do our clients. We originally expected to lose a lot of our hospitality customers when we ended our canine scent detection business but once they saw the results using the new SenSci products, they were thrilled. We didn’t lose customers like we anticipated, in fact, our business has actually grown substantially!
The SenSci ActivVolcano has been a great tool for early detection and ongoing monitoring. We have used them in many different markets, such as office buildings, daycare facilities and schools to name a few, and they have shown great results. They are very easy to use and inspect. They’re flexible and can be used in many different situations and areas. A great option to add to our Bed Bug tool box!
The SenSci ActivVolcanos provide us with unsurpassed success for the office buildings and non-residential facilities that we service. It’s really a no brainer on why we use them; they are successful, affordable, discreet, easy to use, fits into a multitude of locations and provides our company with a revenue stream that we never thought was possible. The SenSci products are scientifically backed by proven bed bug research and that adds a great deal of credibility to our treatment protocols, which is what our customers find valuable.
