Purpose
Rose Pest Solutions values strong relationships built on respect for one another within the company and for those we are fortunate to count as clients. As longtime members of Rotary International, Russ and Jim Ives have adopted the organization’s “Four Way Test” in structuring Rose’s guiding precepts. From the president to the call center staff to the service technician, successful client interactions are rooted in four principled concepts. The 4-Way Test of the things we think, say, and do: First, Is it the truth? Second, Is it fair to all concerned? Third, Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Fourth, Will it be beneficial to all concerned? We are dedicated to being good global citizens by keeping environmental impact and human safety at the forefront of our daily operations and we demonstrate this commitment regularly in our residential and commercial services. But, it is especially illustrated by the lengths we will go to in protecting beneficial pollinating insects. Faced with a swarm of bees, Rose always looks to relocate them to a safe area above other, destructive options.
Vision
Rose Pest Solutions has a simple vision: to provide the very best pest management services to our clients at competitive prices. We stand behind that promise because we take the time to research and develop improved pest management techniques. That, in turn, allows us to provide clients with the highest quality, most effective and safest methods and materials in pest management.
Mission
At Rose Pest Solutions, we dedicate ourselves to lead our industry by delivering the most professional, responsive and innovative pest management services possible. Rose Pest Solutions will always demonstrate a high professional standard with quality performance and conduct. We will also respond promptly to our clients’ concerns and continually evaluate our company’s operations, with goals to continually get better and better. Our priorities will always include making sure both environmental impact and human safety are primary considerations in our daily operations. We will respond promptly to our clients’ concerns and always treat others with respect by dealing with them courteously, honestly, and fairly.

Values
- Rose gives back to its communities in a variety of ways, but here's a few of our favorites.
- LOCAL APIARY SPONSORSHIPS

Which is why Rose is partnering with local organizations and apiaries throughout its service areas in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, to help spread the word about the importance of preserving pollinators and the impact they have on the environment. Rose supports their efforts by providing them with the elements and materials they need to continue their important work within their communities. Rose's partnerships this year include Detroit Hives, Detroit, MI and Gaiser Bee Co., Cincinnati, OH

ENTOMOLOGY 101
A number of Rose Pest Solutions employees enjoy passing on their knowledge to our younger generations and often find themselves teaching grade school kids about the world of insects, as well as the hobbies and jobs that involve insects. They bring the kids into the conversation with show and tell items including live insects that they can see and touch; nets and other insect collecting tools; along with a variety of unusual and common insects pinned into a collection.
