Leading Pest Control Company Shares Solutions to Combat Spring Pests
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — As temperatures rise with the season changing, Mosquito Joe®, a Neighborly® company, and the leading pest control service, is urging homeowners and business owners to take early preventive measures against mosquitoes and ticks before peak season arrives as well as preventing perimeter pests from invading the home.
Recognized with a Gold Level designation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP), Mosquito Joe remains committed to environmentally responsible pest control as the 2025 mosquito season begins. Experts predict a longer and more intense season due to rising global temperatures and increased precipitation, creating ideal breeding conditions for pests. The urgency for early prevention is further heightened by last year’s spike in mosquito-borne illnesses in the U.S., including Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) and Dengue Fever.
“Mosquito activity is already ramping up in many regions due to fluctuating temperatures and lingering moisture from recent storms, which signals a potentially intense season ahead,” said David Price, Associate Certified Entomologist for Mosquito Joe. “Taking action now can help property owners prevent infestations before they start, reducing the nuisance and health risks associated with these pests.”
Top ways owners can prevent mosquitoes, ticks and other perimeter pests this spring include:

NORTHBROOK, Ill. — Huffman Family Brands (HFB), a unified umbrella company committed to a shared vision of social development, innovation, and empowerment, is proud to announce a significant milestone with the opening of its 100th location at 1200 Shermer Rd. in Northbrook, IL. This landmark achievement is driven by Celebree School franchisee, Magdalena (Maggie) Pisarczyk, who will be introducing the brand’s first Illinois location soon. To commemorate HFB’s 100th location milestone, Celebree School of Northbrook invites the community to a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, April 7 at 11 a.m., featuring a book drive to support early childhood literacy in the local area.
Originally from Poland, Pisarczyk found her true calling in early childhood education after a successful career in finance. While teaching in Highland Park, IL, she discovered her passion for nurturing young minds, leading her to Celebree School. Drawn to the brand’s mission and strong support system, she is now dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive.
“Owning a Celebree School is truly a dream come true,” said Pisarczyk. “Opening the 100th Huffman Family Brands location makes this milestone even more special, and I am honored to play a role in the company’s incredible growth. I believe children are the most incredible gift, and early education is essential for instilling kindness, compassion, and strong values. I look forward to serving new and familiar families in the North Shore community soon empowered by Celebree’s mission.”
As part of the ribbon-cutting celebration, Celebree School of Northbrook will host a community book drive, aiming to collect 100 children’s books in honor of the school becoming the 100th HFB location. These books will be donated to the Northbrook Public Library during National Library Week (April 6-12), reinforcing Celebree’s commitment to early childhood education and literacy development. Local families are invited to join the celebration, meet the team, and contribute new or gently used books to help provide young learners with greater access to reading resources.
“Books are the building blocks of literacy, and libraries are where the love of reading flourishes. During National Library Week, we celebrate how libraries connect communities with the transformative power of books,” said Kate Hall, Executive Director of Northbrook Public Library. “Celebree School’s generous ‘100 Books for 100 Locations’ initiative shows a deep understanding of how important early access to books is for developing young minds. As we welcome this new educational partner to Northbrook, we’re inspired by their commitment to literacy right from the start. Together, we can ensure that every child in our community discovers the joy and wonder that books bring to our lives.

Recent Survey Shows Toxic Behaviors Eroding Workplace Culture
OKLAHOMA CITY — New data reveals a troubling increase in toxic behaviors within the workplace, underscoring the critical need for companies to take immediate action to prevent employees from becoming job seekers.
This is according to a recent Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey.
With 30% of employed U.S. job seekers reporting employees at their company are more confrontational than they were three years ago, the urgency to address these issues has never been greater. The trend is particularly pronounced among male job seekers, with 34% noting increased confrontational behavior compared to 23% of female job seekers.
Furthermore, more than one in five employed job seekers (22%) have observed a rise in employees being mean to others at work over the past year. This escalation in toxic behaviors is not only damaging workplace relationships but also undermining the overall company culture, prompting many employees to seek new job opportunities.
Personal Accounts of Toxicity
Several personal accounts from survey respondents shed light on the specific toxic behaviors they have experienced:
Company Culture and Adaptation
The findings underscore the significance of company culture in addressing toxic behaviors. More than half of job seekers (54%) believe that company culture should adapt to changing times and employee desires rather than expecting employees to conform to existing culture. This sentiment is stronger among female job seekers (59%) compared to males (49%).
Additionally, 55% of job seekers agree that it is inappropriate for employees to demand the same boundaries from their coworkers that they set with their family and friends. Nearly 3 in 5 (57%) find it difficult to distinguish between a hostile work environment and a clash of coworkers’ personalities in today’s workplace.
Hiring Managers’ Perspective
Hiring managers also report a troubling increase in toxic behaviors. Half of U.S. hiring managers (50%) have observed more instances of poor employee behavior being reported now than they did three years ago. Nearly three-quarters (74%) have witnessed toxic traits regularly, with gossiping (39%) being the most common, followed by unprofessional communication (27%), employees avoiding collaboration (24%), micromanaging direct reports (19%) and employees taking credit for another person’s work (19%).
Specific Incidents Reported by Surveyed Hiring Managers
Proactive Measures Needed
While 84% of employed job seekers say their company implements measures to manage conflicts, more proactive approaches are needed. This includes:
Additionally, 62% of job seekers agree that companies need to have signage to remind people to be nice to one another. This sentiment is particularly strong among Gen Z, millennial and Gen X workers (78%, 64% and 56%, respectively) compared to boomer/senior job seekers (44%).
“Addressing toxic behaviors in the workplace is crucial for businesses aiming to attract and retain top talent,” Express Employment International CEO Bill Stoller said. “A toxic environment not only drives employees away but also tarnishes a company’s reputation, making it more difficult to recruit skilled professionals. By fostering a positive and respectful workplace culture, companies can enhance their appeal to skilled professionals, reduce turnover and strengthen their overall market position.”
Survey Methodology
The Job Insights survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals Nov. 11 – 26, 2024, among 1,001 U.S. hiring decision-makers.
The Job Seeker Report was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals from Nov. 21 to Dec. 10, 2024, among 1,039 adults ages 18 and older.
