Why a High-Quality Hose Reel Matters in Pest Control

Posted on 10/16/2025

In pest control, efficiency is not optional. It is a requirement. Technicians manage tight schedules, move quickly between jobs, and work in challenging environments. A reliable hose reel is central to keeping these operations on track. The real question is whether that reel is built to perform for the long term.

At Hannay Reels, employees understand what is at stake. Brandon Quick, who has been with the company for two decades, has seen firsthand how long a well-built reel can last. “I've seen reels come in here that are 20 years old, and they still are in working condition,” he said.

That kind of longevity is not by accident. It comes from intentional design, durable materials, and a commitment to building for performance rather than price. Hannay Reels mechanical engineer Craig Guettler explained, “We use only the highest-grade materials and go above and beyond in our designs to ensure top quality in every reel.”

Field-Level Benefits for Pest Control Pros

For pest-control professionals, reel quality shows up in daily operations. A high-performance reel means faster setup and breakdown at each jobsite, smoother hose deployment and retraction, and fewer interruptions due to equipment failure. A well-maintained reel also supports a clean, professional appearance that customers notice.

Another important advantage is long-term cost savings. A Hannay reel protects the hose, leading to fewer replacement requirements and lower overall costs to the business.

The Top Hose Reel for Pest Control Applications

In the pest-control industry, the Hannay 1500 Series stands out as the reel of choice. Designed to support extended hose lengths, it offers the durability and capacity needed for demanding daily use. Available in both manual and powered rewind options, the 1500 Series is ideal for integration into spray rigs mounted on trucks, trailers, or slide-in units. An optional stacking kit helps maximize space in compact service vehicles, while available stainless steel components provide added resistance against corrosion in harsh field conditions.

Safety as a Design Priority

Quality is also about safety. “Tripping hazards are a big thing with reels,” said Marcia Casullo, Hannay's Safety Director. “When we design and manufacture our reels, we're looking at the consumer safety side of it and making sure the operation and performance of our reels meet those requirements, creating safer workplaces.”

Customization for Real-World Needs

Every pest-control business works differently. That is why Hannay provides options to configure reels for specific workflows. “Each pest-control operation has its own way of working, and every set-up is different, so we offer flexible reel configurations to fit each customer's needs,” said Brad Winnie, Sales Manager at Hannay Reels.

A reel is not just another piece of equipment. It is a critical tool that technicians depend on every day. When it is built right, it becomes one less thing to worry about.
