Well by now most have seen the reality shows on TV “Strange Addication“or “Obsessed“and this story is no different. A guy in Rhode Island is addicted to eating bugs “Man addicated to the taste of bugs reveals he has eaten over 5000 insect species.”
I must admit that I probably would eat some bugs but just haven’t had the opportunity to try a lot of them yet.
So have you eaten any bugs yet, grasshoppers, crickets tell me about your experience?
Debunking myths especially of the INTERNET…
Most of us have seen the commercial on TV that indicates that everything you read on the Internet is absolutely, unequivocally without a doubt TRUE and CORRECT!!!! Well I hope most of us realize it is just plain and simply not true. ProBest Pest Management is a Gold Member of the EPA’s Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program or PESP. We receive a newsletter quarterly and this newsletter this quarter is about a few of those items – puts to rest the myth about rodents and the New York subway system – too bad it doesn’t talk about that huge alligator that lives there.
It provides some great information on “Ten Steps to Pest-Proofing”

Interesting dialog about Bed Bugs from TV show Rachel Ray!

Also spend some time and read the tips from the National Pest Management Association or the ProBest Pest Management website.
Marketing ideas, advertising and directories! Pt 2 Pest Control Ideas…
In advertising it’s all about what works and what doesn’t. So in that vain the first thing you must do is to come up with the idea, then implement it and then (most people forget this part) follow up and see if it‘s working. If it works continue on, if not move on to something new and different.
So let’s say you try mailing out postcards, most would say it works if you get .5 to 1% sales but compared to the cost is there anything you can do with a higher return on investment.
You must also decide on the medium involved and your budget, news paper versus TV etc.
In the 3rd part we will discuss a few that ProBest has employed to see if it works and just for the record it may or may not work for you and we will discuss why.
