CASTLETON, N.Y.—Catseye Pest Control has earned a prestigious spot on the Albany Times Union’s 2013 list of Top Workplaces. The annual awards are given each year to businesses in the Capital Region who exemplify positive work environments, as described by staff members.

The awards ceremony took place on April 18 at the Desmond Hotel in Albany, N.Y. More than 560 companies submitted for the recognition and only 25 were selected in the small business category. Catseye nabbed No. 11 on that list, recognized for its dedication to maintaining a happy, healthy workplace that inspires employee loyalty and growth.

The award process examines applications from staff members to get an inside look at each company and help determine sentiments among those workers. The collective thoughts prove that team members at Catseye feel like a close-knit family in the office, where responsibilities, successes and excitement are shared equally.

“Their open door policy is what really impresses me,” said one service technician in his submission. “Management is always willing to listen and change things around to better the company.”

The news comes on the heels of recently being granted membership into the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP), a voluntary program that forms partnerships with pesticide users to reduce the potential health and environmental risks associated with pesticides.

Catseye Pest Control was founded in East Greenbush, N.Y., and has grown over a 25-year-period to be a household name in the Capital Region. It has also expanded its offering to the west coast in areas including Reno and Carson City, Nev., and Lake Tahoe, Calif. It currently employs more than 75 people.
