Chase Matthews is now a fully certified pest control operator at Bed Bug Exterminator, where his dedication and meticulous work ethic are setting new standards in pest control excellence. Prior to joining the pest control industry, Chase honed his management skills in the recycling business, overseeing transportation and the reclamation of a diverse range of materials including batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, and tires. This role sharpened his customer service abilities, a skill he deeply values and continues to excel in through daily interactions with people.
Chase’s work philosophy is underpinned by his diligent, perfectionist nature. He possesses an insatiable desire to learn and improve, a trait that drives him to absorb as much knowledge as possible to enhance his efficiency and effectiveness in every task he undertakes. His proficiency with technology and knack for problem-solving further complements his role, enabling him to tackle challenges with innovative solutions.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Chase is deeply passionate about his hobbies. He is an avid golf enthusiast, a semi-professional video game player, and values quality time with friends. These interests not only provide him with a well-rounded life but also fuel his drive to excel professionally.
At the core of Chase’s ambitions is a commitment to helping others. He aims to provide peace of mind to those he serves by ensuring he does everything within his power to meet their needs thoughtfully and thoroughly. Chase’s blend of technical savvy, customer service excellence, and a dedicated work ethic makes him a valuable asset to Bed Bug Exterminator and the clients he serves.
In the time since he joined us, Chase has grown into something close to an expert on all things pest control, and on bed bug work in particular, and he has quietly become one of the key people at the very center of how Bed Bug Exterminator operates from day to day. His understanding of our Heat Assault systems is, at this point, about as complete as it gets, and there is very little on those machines that he cannot service or repair himself. That sort of hands-on command over the equipment is not something that is at all easy to come by.
More recently, Chase has been working alongside John Wieber on the build of what we have taken to calling the Heat Hammer, which is really our own custom version of the Heat Assault, only somewhere in the region of three times as powerful. The general idea is to harness the rotational energy produced by the XE150 unit from Precision, which puts out roughly 1.5 million BTU, and to pair that output with a good deal of custom work on the trailer and the systems that surround it. It is still built on the same glycol approach we have always trusted and relied upon, and yet it puts out a great deal more heat than anything we have worked with before. We are getting fairly close now to being able to offer that system to our own customers.
We are proud of the evolution of Chase, and of the part he has gone on to play in all of this.
