What’s That Smell? Controlling Odors Makes Sense

Garbage In The Street

When you think of Orkin, what immediately comes to mind? Most would say pests, and they’re right. However, we know about much more than pest control alone — the odor control solutions we offer help businesses keep stink-loving pests away, too.

Regardless of your sanitation regimen, odors can originate from hundreds of sources, many of which are out of your control. Whether from leftover food or overflowing dumpsters, pungent odors can negatively affect the reputation of your business.

Unpleasant smells are one of the most frequent complaints made by customers and tenants. And even if you can’t smell an odor, pests can — with their keen sense of smell, mild to foul odors that aren’t managed quickly can attract them easily while simultaneously pushing customers away.

Want to learn more about controlling odors in your business? Check out Orkin® Scent Services for commercial odor control and air freshening services that help keep things fresh at your company:

  • Orkin Actizyme® Odor Neutralizer: A compound a day keeps the odor away. Orkin’s Actizyme Odor Neutralizer physically breaks down odor molecules, eliminating airborne odors right at their source. This natural, non-toxic solution reduces odors for indoor and outdoor dumpsters, as well as trash cans.

  • AirRemedy™: This system doesn’t just mask foul odors — it usescold fusion technology to attack and help remove the odors in the air, leaving a clean, fresh scent in its wake. The powerful diffuser delivers a dry, invisible vapor that floats evenly across large, designated areas, such as garbage and recycling rooms, compactor areas and more.

  • AirSpa™: This commercial air freshener helps you create a unique environment by harnessing the power of scent.
