Since the industrial revolution, the damage that human-kind has done to the environment is devastating. The threat that this un-changeable damage poses on future generations cannot be ignored anymore. Environmental accountability is becoming the rule and not the exception in the business world. Businesses today are expected to be less harmful, more transparent and to actively participate in making positive changes to improve the environment.

As a leader in the industry, we believe that we have an obligation to respond to this new paradigm—to adopt a business model of increased accountability. On a deeply personal level, and as people with great respect for the environment, we believe it is our moral obligation to improve Exterminators’ sustainability practices, to do our part to protect the earth and the people.

Over the last two decades we have creatively destructed the environment via constant innovation to find smarter ways to manage and raise standards within the pest management industry in Sri Lanka and the region.

  • 1. Caring for people
  • 2. Caring for the planet

Begins with guiding and helping our own people at ‘Exterminators’ and their families to move onto the next step in life and to be happy, healthy and financially stable.

We also strive to make communities in Sri Lanka more livable, safe and comfortable. We do this by researching and identifying the real needs of our communities and delivering the most appropriate program that is aligned with our strategy and aim in protecting at least ‘one human life a year and provide sustainable livelihood to our communities in which ever way we can.

Exterminators initiated its stop dengue program in 2008 as a key CSR project to educate the general public about the deadly dengue epidemic. Since then, the company has given back almost over LKR 5 million to the community by donating equipment to combat dengue to local city councils, printing and distributing dengue awareness material such as billboards, posters, brochures, dengue emergency pocket guides and also carried out awareness programs for institutes, schools etc. Awareness was created via exhibitions and social media.

However, the company believes that the country needs an integrated approach to combat the dengue epidemic in a more organized and structured manner. The company has designed the ‘Integrated Dengue Management Plan’ and willing to share it with any government or private institution and NGO’s on a joint mission to protect all Sri Lankans from Dengue.
