Usually, when the Upstate Bug Busters team gear up, we’re focused on one thing: protecting your yards from ticks and mosquitoes so you can enjoy the outdoors. But today, we traded our spray equipment for Santa hats and set out on a different kind of mission—one that’s near and dear to our hearts.
This afternoon, our team had the privilege of dropping off several boxes of toys to our local Toys for Tots campaign.
Why We Give Back
At Upstate Bug Busters, we’ve always said that we aren't just a tick and mosquito control company; we are neighbors. We live here in the Capital Region, our kids go to school here, and we share this community with you.
We know that for many families in Upstate New York, the holiday season can be a source of stress rather than joy. Between the rising cost of living and the pressure to make the holidays magical, many parents struggle to put gifts under the tree.
We felt it was absolutely necessary to step up because:
- Community is Everything: Our business is built on the trust of local homeowners. Giving back is our way of saying "thank you" and ensuring that our community remains a supportive, uplifting place to live.
- Every Child Deserves Magic: Just as we believe every family deserves a safe, bug-free yard to play in, we believe every child deserves the excitement of unwrapping a brand-new toy during the holidays.
- Protection Goes Beyond ticks and mosquitoes: Our daily job is protecting your health and peace of mind. Supporting Toys for Tots is just an extension of that—protecting the spirit and happiness of our neighbors in need.
A Small Act with a Big Impact
Dropping off those boxes was a highlight of our year. Seeing the mountain of donations from other local businesses and individuals was a humble reminder that we are part of a region that truly cares about its own.
To our wonderful customers: thank you. Your support of our small, local business allows us to do things like this. When you choose Upstate Bug Busters, you aren't just getting tick and mosquito control; you’re helping us invest back into the towns and cities we all call home.
