Bayer has appointed a new Territory Sales Manager (Pest) in Queensland. Mr. Chris Mills comes to Bayer with 17 years of pest management experience. Chris has worked in both the residential and commercial markets, including fumigation and pre-construction, while representing several different multi-national pest management firms. He has worked in roles such as Technician, Sales Representative and middle management.
Daryle Swarz, Pest Market Manager for Bayer, said “We are delighted to welcome Chris on-board. He has an enormous amount of experience in general pest control, but also has considerable expertise in termite control. Chris has been heavily involved in termite baiting, from geographical areas such as the cool winter climates of Canberra, South Coast and country New South Wales, to the more mild Sydney metro, and up to the sub-tropics of his home base in Queensland. He has a very well-rounded knowledge of the varying termite species, along with the equally varying associated feeding patterns and characteristic behaviours – knowledge that is key to successful termite baiting. Chris will bring added value to our termite range of products including Premise® Termiticide, Kordon® Termite Barrier and Agenda® Termite Baiting System.
Chris said “I am grateful for the opportunity and excited with my new role with Bayer. It will be wonderful leveraging the resources that Bayer provides, as well as the wealth of experience and knowledge that comes with such a large research and development company.
“I am also excited at the prospect of leveraging key relationships with all the major distribution channels in the industry. Distribution plays a major role in arming the end user with valuable technical knowledge on product, hardware and industry regulations as well as best practice guidelines,” he added.
