If you recently purchased a new van for your pest control business, it’s time for customization! An off-the-lot van is a great start, but it won’t come with the key features that help your technicians operate safely and efficiently.

Pest control is a tough job that requires proper storage of pesticides, animal traps, and waste. Your technicians need to arrive on the scene with everything they need—and your company van needs to look good doing it! 

Keep reading to learn more about the five best upgrades for your pest control van. 

1. Ladder Racks

Arriving at an appointment without a ladder to check a customer’s attic for a rodent problem means your technician can’t do their job. Your new van needs a custom ladder rack solution to safely carry ladders and other equipment ready for use during house calls. 

Ladder racks also make more space available inside the van. There’s no need to store ladders inside where your technicians need to secure valuable equipment and dangerous chemicals.  

2. Storage Cabinets

From tools to traps and other equipment, your technicians ride with the equipment they need to resolve any pest problem at different locations throughout the day. Without the right storage cabinets, loose tools can become a hazard. You also risk damaging expensive equipment without proper storage. 

Custom storage cabinets help your technicians stay organized and efficient. Every tool or piece of equipment has a place for easy access. Customers don’t have to wait for your employee to look for what they need in the van. 

Plus, when every piece of equipment stays stored inside your van’s cabinets, you reduce the risk of shifting items falling or hurting your employees as they drive to the next appointment. 

3. Custom Pest Control Van Shelving

Some equipment is better suited for shelving. Adding custom pest control shelving gives your technicians another way to stay organized, safe, and ready to work at every service appointment.    

These shelves fasten to the van’s walls for safety!

4. Chemical Isolation Units

Pesticides require proper storage during transportation. You risk the health and safety of your employees and customers without the right kind of chemical storage in your pest control van. 

Upgrade your vehicle with customized chemical isolation units. These components contain chemicals safely and prevent hazardous spills during transportation and storage. 

5. Flooring

Factory carpet or flooring might not hold up to daily use, hauling equipment in and out of the van, or pesticide spills. Make sure your new van has the right flooring to keep up with the demands of the job.

Composite or durable rubber flooring can handle spills, scrapes, and deep cleaning, where carpeting won’t last.
