Guys

Listen to this women's hour from yesterday. its near the end of program

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00xpk18/Womans_Hour_24_01_2011/

Whats interesting is how the problem is now a major issue in New York. This would be a great area for repeat business and once your in doing the mattress you can sell other services.

They do talk about a monitor for bugs might be a good marketing tool?

What do you all think?

Respect

I am listening now.

Not sure what system they use as I am listening to a bit about prostitution for  God in India and now about Pensions

But the problem I have found in marketing this service is drying times.

A lot of Councils have abolished the bug service so agree the entire pest control market is now available.

I am surprised Alltec Training Academe y has not put on a course.

Thats two tips I hve given them this week.

So perhaps they can knock the roylty of an Invoice they suddenly sent me from over a year ago.  Strange I thought I paid at the time as they no longer give credit .

How desperate do you have to be for work?

I listened to that and it made my skin crawl. The Mrs is really going to be impressed when you bring home to your bed the resistent strain, and don't think it won't happen.

BTW if you smell corriander in a bedroom, that means it's infested.
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

I heard another report where a scientist from Sheffied Uni was saying if you have a Bed Bug investation you need to vacate for 3 months

I am wondering if someone in Sheffield could track him down and arrange a training event

I was just thinking they would know how to deal with all bugs.

But if he is talking about vacating houses to clear them he could reccomend similar for all bugs
