Covid-19 Update

Apr 07, 2020

From Your Local Weed Man

Thank you for your continued confidence in Weed Man Kelowna, BC to  take care of your home environment. We are prepared to continue  enhancing your quality of life while making needed changes to protect  public health.

As you know, Premier John Horgan and British Columbia’s provincial  health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry are diligently monitoring the COVID-19
situation and making recommendations to mitigate the spread of this virus,  including suspending work in some industries. Following precedent set by  many other communities and provinces, Weed Man services fall into the  Landscaping Industry category, including lawn treatment & maintenance,  and falls under the essential business exemption.

 

Weed Man services are critical because of the nature of our work.

These are some of the reasons:


1) Protection and enhancement of homeowner’s property.
2) The direct control and suppression of weeds that create springtime  allergens and that affect human respiratory systems and exacerbate  asthma etc.
3) The importance of enhancing healthy lawns that create oxygen.
4) The control of lawn insects that are a risk to health including but not  limited to, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, grubs etc.
5) The control of environments (weed and plant growth) that cause vermin  to flourish and pose serious risks to public health if left uncontrolled.
6) Our work is performed without human contact, outside, thus presenting  very minimal risk to further transmission of the virus.

We take our responsibility seriously. Our services are here to keep the lawn  healthy and provide a safe play environment for families. Remember, a
well-maintained lawn is like the moat around your castle. Most  importantly, we want to deliver a bit of normalcy during these less than
normal times.  We are taking extreme caution for both our employees and our  customers. We've made the following changes to ensure everyone's  safety:


1) Where applicable, non-field staff will be working from home.
2) Enhanced daily cleaning protocols are in place, for our employees,  office, equipment & trucks.
3) Only 1 service technician will be riding in a vehicle.
4) We will abide by the 6-foot social distancing protocol set out by the  government.
5) To limit interactions, we will not be knocking on doors or ringing  doorbells.
6) To limit interactions, we will not be leaving behind any literature or  invoices, they will be sent by email or text. If we do not have your email  address, please provide it to us ASAP, otherwise, communication will be  sent via Canada Post.

This situation continues to change daily so we will update you if any of our  procedures change. During times like these, we take a lot of pride in you  trusting us to maintain one of your greatest assets - your home  environment. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

We are here for you.
