Pest Control – Lost Cousin of the First Responders?

MC has had one hell of a week, gang.

First a hot water pipe in his garage bursts, on his birthday no less, costing a few hundred bucks. Then Rory, the eldest of the MC dogs, starts having leg issues on a weekend so needs to be seen at the urgent care. There goes even more cash out the door.

Then…termites. Since we were getting ready to record when the “pest guy” climbed into the attic and did his thing, a thing neither of us had ANY interest in doing, we sat and waited. Then he climbed out with a smile on his face.

After watching MC deal with this emergency and having the responding expert infront of us, why not fire up the mics and interview him?

“Connie” is 25 and has been in the pest control business for 5 years. He has been in attics, basements, crawl spaces and, while doing so, has come into contact with every imaginable species of creepy crawly, opossum and aggressive rats. So why does he do it and keep smiling? Have a listen and find out!

This week we ponder:

• What kind of training is required to work in pest control?
• How does one get started?
• Is MC’s problem small, standard or big?
• That ants and termites will battle to the death just like rats and squirrels.
