MASSILLON, OHIO - In its newest weekly video, A.R.E. equips its pest control work truck - The A.R.E. Exterminator - with the company's CX Series Truck Cap.
The A.R.E. Exterminator is being developed for Mike Masterson, host of the Discovery Channel TV show "Verminators" and CEO of ISOTECH Pest Management, Inc. A.R.E. is adding several accessories to transform the 2010 Toyota Tundra into an efficient yet stylish work truck.
A.R.E. plans to debut The A.R.E. Exterminator at PestWorld 2009, and will add a new video to its YouTube Channel, Outfit4Life, each Friday leading up to the show.
The fiberglass CX Series Truck Cap is ideal for the pest control industry, with customizable features such as lockable built-in toolboxes, side-access windoors and rear privacy doors. Offering utility and flexibility, the CX Series can also come with a full fiberglass walk-in door, screen-vent side windows, sliding front windows, an interior clothes rod and ventilated privacy doors.
"Our high-quality truck cap transforms pickups into functional work vehicles for the pest control industry," said Bryan Baker, director of marketing, A.R.E. "Not only does the locking cap keep equipment secure, but chemicals and pesticides are kept separate from drivers in the cab - a key benefit in this market."
To see the A.R.E. Exterminator truck build in progress, see below:
A.R.E. and Masterson will display the truck at PestWorld 2009, Oct. 26-29, in Las Vegas, in booth e235.
