BLACK PEST PREVENTION USES TECHNOLOGY TO
INCREASE SAFETY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Respected Charlotte-based pest management company installs DriveCams in fleet

     CHARLOTTE, NC, May 18, 2009 -- Black Pest Prevention, Inc., a full service residential and commercial pest prevention and termite protection company with operations in Charlotte, NC and Charleston, SC, has announced the installation of DriveCams in all company vehicles.

     DriveCams, exception-based video event recorders that fit in the palm of a hand, have been mounted on the windshield behind the rearview mirrors of all Black Pest Prevention service vehicles. These devices capture sights and sounds inside and outside the vehicle. Exceptional forces such as hard braking, swerving and collision activate the recorder, capturing critical seconds of audio and video footage immediately before and after the triggered event. Saved events are analyzed and used in ongoing driver coaching programs in order to improve behavior and mitigate risk.

“In our industry, a lot of emphasis is placed on technical training for service professionals when in fact the most exposure they face on a daily basis involves the operation of a company vehicle,” said Mandy Allison, Risk Management Director for Black Pest. “All of our drivers have been through the EOS safe driving program provided by PestSure. Deploying DriveCams was the next logical step. We expect to further enhance driver safety and reduce vehicle damages, workers' compensation and personal injury costs by 50 percent through the use of DriveCam.”

     Black Pest Prevention uses the most effective treatments available to prevent unwanted pests and termites for customers. By installing DriveCams in each and all of their vehicles, Black Pest hopes to help prevent accidents on the road as well.

“Our company name is a reflection of what we stand for; prevention,” said Mike Davis, Chief Operating Officer of Black Pest Prevention. “We have been successfully preventing pests and termites from entering homes for over sixty years. Now, we have also increased safety and protection for our employees.”
