Summer Field Day Brings Fun, Fellowship, and Friendly Competition to the Marietta Team Support Center

Teammates at Northwest Exterminating’s Team Support Center found the perfect way to jumpstart the week after a long holiday weekend by bringing back the fun with a Summer Field Day!

The event kicked off with a spirited game of tug-of-war, setting the tone for an afternoon filled with energy and laughter. From inflatable bowling to an egg drop challenge and a classic tin toss, teammates rotated through a series of fun and quirky games that kept the momentum going. Greg Green and Kristen Milligan with the Good Deed Team provided hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixings.

While the food and games were a hit, it was the fellowship that truly stood out. Events like these offer a chance for teammates to connect beyond daily responsibilities, fostering stronger relationships and team spirit. It’s an opportunity to interact with colleagues from different departments.

Summer Field Day

This Summer Field Day was the latest edition of Monday Mingle, a bi-monthly tradition that mixes food, fun, and friendly rivalry. From trivia contests to “finish the lyrics” battles, each Monday Mingle offers something new. This time, the event was hosted by some of the youngest members of the team. Their enthusiasm and creativity added an extra layer of excitement to the festivities, reminding everyone that a little fun goes a long way in building a stronger team.

Summer is off to a bright start at the Team Support Center—and thanks to events like these, so is the team spirit that makes Northwest such a special place to work.

These ranged from writing handwritten sympathy and get-well cards to customers, to financially supporting fellow teammates during difficult times, and helping complete strangers in meaningful ways. Teammates also took time to show appreciation for local educators—Cullman, AL and McCall teammates in Gainesville, Fl hosted Teacher Appreciation Luncheons, including a fiesta-themed celebration complete with vibrant décor and festive food to recognize and celebrate teachers for their hard work and dedication.

The Acts of Kindness campaign shows how purpose-driven action, no matter the size of the workforce, can create measurable and meaningful change.

The Acts of Kindness initiative reflects the Northwest Family of Brands’ ongoing dedication to fostering a culture that values people and prioritizes positive impact both inside and outside the workplace.

Smyrna Georgia Teammates Host First Responder Appreciation Cookout

Northwest Exterminating teammates in Smyrna, GA, hosted a First Responder Cookout on June 12, 2025, at Tolleson Park. More than two dozen police officers, firefighters, and EMT personnel gathered to enjoy a delicious meal of burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and baked beans.

The event provided a meaningful opportunity for teammates to connect with the first responders who serve and protect the community every day. Smyrna teammates worked in shifts to ensure customer needs were met while also supporting the cookout—helping with setup, serving, and cleanup. By the end of the event, everyone left with full bellies and big smiles.

Good Deed Team

For some officers, this was their first experience attending a Northwest First Responder Cookout; for others, it was one of many. When asked what made this one stand out, Major Louis Defense III with the Smyrna Police Department shared, “This cookout is definitely a display of what it means to be a community.”

While first responders expressed gratitude for the meal and hospitality, the appreciation went both ways. At Northwest Exterminating, it’s a privilege to recognize and thank those who help keep the communities where we live and work safe.

Northwest Family of Brands’ Teammates Embrace Third Annual Teammate Acts of Kindness Day

Northwest Family of Brands’ Teammates Embrace Third Annual Teammate Acts of Kindness Day

On Friday, May 16, 2025, teammates across the Northwest Family of Brands came together to celebrate the third annual Teammate Acts of Kindness Day, a company-wide initiative focused on making a positive impact both internally and externally. True to the spirit of Northwest, teammates went above and beyond showing compassion to co-workers, customers, strangers, and even animals.

Teammates supported one another in different ways throughout the day! Several bought breakfast or lunch for co-workers, and others surprised administrative professionals with flowers. The Team Support Center departments packed boxes filled with snacks for surrounding service centers! Other teammates found ways to support fellow colleagues facing difficult times, but the kind gestures did not stop internally.

Many customers and the community also felt the impact. Teammates mailed sympathy and get-well cards to families dealing with a loss or sickness, and service professionals went the extra mile by removing trash cans from curbs and picking up litter. Their acts of kindness also extended to animals. One teammate even stepped in to save a turtle from a potentially tragic end by helping it cross the road.

Many strangers experienced the Northwest way of putting people first. Stories surfaced of a teammate buying sandwiches for a woman experiencing homelessness, while others paid for drinks at gas stations or showed patience and courtesy on the road.

If there’s one takeaway from the Teammate Acts of Kindness Day, it’s this: Every one of us has the power to make a difference in big and small ways. All it takes is one kind act to inspire someone else to do the same. We are so thankful to have a team full of servant hearted people!

Tucker Service Center Visits Nesbit Elementary for School Career Day

Tucker Service Center Visits Nesbit Elementary for School Career Day

Our Tucker team had an amazing time at Nesbit Elementary School’s Career Day! It was a joy to introduce students to our Mouse Mascot, who brought plenty of smiles and high-fives as we kicked off a day full of learning and fun. The kids were curious and eager as they got a glimpse into the world of pest control and what an exterminating company does to keep homes and businesses safe and pest-free.

One of the highlights of the day was sharing interesting bug facts that had the students buzzing with excitement. From learning about the incredible strength of ants to discovering how termites work as a team, the kids were fascinated by the tiny creatures that share our world. Our team loved answering questions and encouraging students to think critically about how we can coexist with some of nature’s most misunderstood critters. Who knows? We might have even inspired a future entomologist or pest control expert!

We want to say a huge thank-you to Nesbit Elementary for inviting us to be part of such a special day. It was an honor to connect with your students, share our expertise, and have a little fun along the way. We left Career Day inspired by the curiosity and energy of the youngsters we met, and we can’t wait for the next opportunity to make learning about bugs and pest control so much fun!
