SMbA at the MN Horse & Hunt Club – Prior Lake, MN
Thursday, April 19th, 2012
It was Thursday March 1st, 2012 at 10:23 a.m. and the call came in as most losses do….”We have water everywhere…..I need your help NOW!”, proclaimed Terry Correll, General Manager at the Minnesota Horse & Hunt Club. There was some uniqueness to this call, however, as Terry is a personal friend Danny Ayotte (my business partner and father) and it was almost 9 years earlier that my husband, Hans Naumann, and I said “I Do” at this very same venue.
By 11:30 a.m., Danny and I were onsite to inspect the damage. A piece on their Fire Compression System gave way and 55,000 gallons of water poured into the basement of the club – the area where all storage, office and gun club check in is located – a hub for all avid hunters! If it were not for the quick response of an exterior contractor and the endless work of the club’s staff, damage could have been worse. But Terry knew who to call and with all of the staff’s help, our team at SMbA had the lower level mitigation underway within 2 hours of Terry’s initial call. Although the circumstances were unique (the club stayed open during the entire mitigation and repairs process), the job could not have gone smoother. But don’t take my word for it, here is what Terry and his staff had to say….

Blood Drive Fast Approaching – Northfield, MN
Friday, April 13th, 2012
ServiceMaster by Ayotte’s Blood Drive is fast approaching. If you haven’t already heard the news we are hosting our 2nd Annual American Red Cross Community Blood Drive on Tuesday April 24th, 2012 from 1 – 6 p.m. at our office, located at 450 Armstrong Road, Northfield, MN.
Following are some important facts about the importance of donating blood. We encourage all of our clients, associates and employees to consider the impact your donation can have.
- Blood products are being distributed to hospitals as quickly as they are coming in. All blood types are currently needed to help maintain sufficient supplies. Eligible donors with O positive and negative, B negative and A negative blood types are encouraged to donate double red cells where available.
- Type O negative blood, the universal blood type, is always in high demand because it can be transfused to patients with any blood type, especially in emergency situations. Type O negative donors can make the difference between an adequate supply and a shortage.
- Each year, nearly 5 million people need blood transfusions. Thanks to dedicated volunteer blood and platelet donors, the American Red Cross can support patients at approximately 3,000 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country as the single largest blood supplier in the United States.

Spring Brings Annual Ayotte Adventure
Monday, March 12th, 2012
March is here and with the record setting warm weather, we are all more than ready for winter to be gone for good and spring to be ever-present! At ServiceMaster by Ayotte we couldn’t agree more! This year we are so excited to celebrate spring, our team has put together a Spring Incentive package so we can welcome spring (and summer) with our top referral partners. Hold on to your seats because this is not just a one-time deal either! We are excited to announce our First Annual Ayotte Adventure that will continue on for what I hope will be many years to come (is forever too long?).
So what’s the catch? There is none. It is simple – we value you and your business. It is our job to take care of your customers, who too, are our customers. We want to make your job easier and ultimately, we want to ease the pain to a client who suffers a disaster of any nature – big or small. We (both ServiceMaster by Ayotte and DCI) are standing by 24/7 to help you out. The catch I guess is this – you need to utilize our on line ‘Assign a Claim’ form via our website (www.smbyayotte.com) or thru our soon-to-come QR Code. That is it! A customer of yours needs help (water or fire mitigation, restoration repairs, mold, trauma or specialty cleaning, or even just a ladder assist or inspection) – you electronically ‘Assign’ the work request to us. Just log on to www.smbyayotte.com or www.deutschecontracting.com and click on the ‘Assign a Claim’ tab in the upper right hand corner and you are done. We guarantee a response within 1 hour! Of course you can always call us direct at 877.945.0993, reference the ‘Assign a Claim’ and we will enter it in for you.
We appreciate the trust you are putting in us to help you and your clients!

Step 1: Identify odor source
