Summary:
Aruza, a rapidly growing pest and termite control company founded in 2016, operates nine locations across North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas. With over 150 technicians working daily in hot and humid work conditions, the team needed uniforms that could withstand the physical demands of their jobs while ensuring lasting comfort and durability. The Pro Airflow work shirt, available through UniFirst’s uniform rental program, delivered the ideal solution, keeping the team cool, comfortable, and focused throughout their workday.
Challenges:
Aruza technicians face demanding conditions every day, including hot and humid work environments outdoors to physically intensive pest control tasks in confined spaces indoors.

Uniforms had to maintain a polished and cohesive look to reflect Aruza’s strong brand identity during customer interactions.
