Gonna sound a little unusual at first: at Burns Pest Elimination, giving back to the community feels like a regular Tuesday. That simple idea sits at the heart of the Community Involvement video. Team members talk about helping neighbors who say, “I need help, can you help me?” and how that same instinct carries into their volunteer work. The video shows how a family-owned pest control company in Arizona and Nevada treats community service as part of everyday life, not a once-a-year event. ## “It’s Just a Tuesday for Us” Early in the video, a team member says, “Gonna sound weird, but having the opportunity to contribute to our community is a Tuesday for us.” He goes on to explain that when Burns Pest Elimination volunteers, the team does the same work they do Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. The only difference? They do it for free. > “We’re doing the exact same thing as we would do Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. We’re just doing it for free.” That line sums up a lot about the company. The skills they bring into homes and businesses every day also help neighbors who can’t afford pest control. The work looks the same, but the motivation runs even deeper. ## A Culture Wired to Say “Yes” The video also gives a quick window into what it feels like to work at Burns Pest Elimination. One of the most revealing comments is about how quickly new people pick up the company’s mindset: > “If you’ve been here longer than six months, you are already hard wired to help people when they need you. You’re hard wired to say yes.” That attitude lines up with how the business serves families and businesses across Arizona and Nevada. When someone calls with a problem, the team looks for a way to help. In the video, you see that same drive show up in their community work as well. ## Burns Gives Back: Community Support with a Name As the video continues, it introduces **Burns Gives Back**, the charitable arm of the organization. Through Burns Gives Back, the company supports different efforts in the communities it serves, including work in the Phoenix area. One example in the video is an upcoming holiday toy drive for foster children in need. The team talks about how they look for chances to give back to the same communities that have supported them for so many years. This isn’t a side project. It reflects how a family-owned company sees its place in the wider community: if they can help, they try to help. ## Using Everyday Skills to Help Neighbors in Need One of the most grounded parts of the video talks about people who can’t afford pest control. The speaker explains that the company often helps on an individual basis, using the same services they offer paying customers: > “There’s numerous stuff we do for people that can’t afford pest control on an individual basis. That’s where we apply exactly what we do for a living, to help someone who may be in need, and ownership leads that role.” That last point matters. When ownership leads by example, it shapes the whole company. For a family-owned business, that leadership sets the tone for how team members show up in homes, businesses, and community projects. ## Standing with Single Mothers and Foster Kids The video doesn’t just talk about giving back in broad terms. It also calls out specific efforts around families and children. One part highlights a program referred to as **“umami,”** which supports single mothers with children who are working to get back on their feet. This focus fits naturally with a company that spends its days helping protect homes and the people in them. Another section focuses on an opportunity called **OK Kids**, which stands for Opportunity, Community and Justice for kids. The speaker explains that OK Kids is a private organization that steps in where state support for foster children falls short: > “Basically, it’s a private organization that is taxed with picking up the gap between what the state provides for foster kids in the system versus what they actually need.” Through OK Kids, Burns Pest Elimination takes part in: - A yearly gift drive that provides Christmas presents for foster children who otherwise wouldn’t receive them. - A spring job clinic that helps 17- and 18-year-olds who are aging out of the foster care system learn how to get a job. These moments in the video show how the company’s care extends beyond property lines and into the lives of young people who face major life changes with very little support. ## “It Matters, So I’ll Keep Doing It” The most emotional point in the video comes when the speaker describes what it feels like to work with teens who age out of foster care: > “It’s a very difficult time for me because it’s tough to see the kids that are in this position. As a parent, I can’t imagine why someone would not want these kids, but it matters, so I’ll keep doing it.” That honesty says a lot about the heart behind Burns Gives Back. This isn’t about checking a box or posing for a photo. It’s about real kids, real families, and real needs. ## How This Connects to Burns Pest Elimination Today Burns Pest Elimination serves communities across Arizona and Nevada, including metro areas like Phoenix, Tucson, and Las Vegas.
