Yves Surprenant: The Sun Tzu of pest control
One of the reasons that brought Groupe Surprenant to the level of sucess it now knows is Yves Surprenant’s philosophy, that can be summarized in one sentence: “Know your enemy.” Indeed, as Sun Tzu wrote in his legendy military treaty “The Art of War”, published in the 5th century B.C. , “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”
And a hundred times he was victorious. Yves dedicated a good part of his life to knowing his enemy, which are parasites. Cockroaches, bedbugs, spiders, ants, mice, rats, these critters now hide no secret from him. It’s by knowing his enemy and by knowing the way he could act to vanquish it that he managed to give to his customers effective and durable results.
Changing paradigms
Groupe Surprenant, thanks to Yves Surprenant’s and his son, Jules’s, vision, is an important player in changing the mentalities about pest control. Indeed, the company advocates “pest control” instead of extermination. The somewhat murderous connotations of the latter term don’t really apply to the company, who privileges physical methods over chemical ones.
This will to change the current paradigms and to shake things up in the industry by promoting innovative methods and different approaches is exactly what makes Yves Surprenant a great entrepreneur and what puts his company, Groupe Surprenant, in a class of its own.
Groupe Surprenant offers pest control, fumigation and bird control services in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors.
