My phone - Ring...Ring.....Ring!!!

Me - This is BBG!!!

Customer - Hey!!! I need you come back and spray.

Me - Ok, why?

Customer - I saw a few dead roaches in the garage.

Me - Ok.

Customer - Well, I need you to come spray for the roaches.

Me - So, you saw dead roaches in your garage and you want me to spray for them?

Customer - Uh!! Yeah!!!

Me - Ma'am, I've been in the pest industry for 7 years, I'm a certified operator and I'm licensed in public health. I've recieved many many hours of training. Yet!!! One thing I have never learned!!! Is how to kill the same bug twice.

Customer - What?

Me - You are seeing DEAD bugs ma'am. I cant kill dead bugs. I've already killed them once.

Customer - Long pause...........Oh, I guess I see your point.




Point of the story? I cant kill the same damn bug twice!!!! If you see dead bugs!!!! Then I'm doing my friggin job!!!! I hate Atlanta.
 
:laugh

I think people freak out so much when they see a bug (dead or alive), that their first thought must be to call the bug man.
 
Hey, people are stupid, what can I say. You know that thing about common sense? Yeah, well, it ain't so common anymore...

:BH

I get those calls as well....punk!! You know where my truck keys are, go spray it your damn self!!!!
 
Welllll, neither MrB nor I will kill bugs. Or really anything for that matter. So, we will never call you to double kill a bug.

Actually, those stupid lablab bugs covered the back of our house, and everytime we opened the back door a bunch fell out so we scooped them out, over and over. MrB finally sprayed but they came back. Thank goodness the rain came. 'Cause they are gone now.

Seriously, our no kill policy requires one to turn off the alarm, open the door, and toss the little critter out. Everything deserves the life it was given, IMO.

Mosquitoes? I hate those things. They attack me like crazy!
If bugs leave me alone, that is fine, but once they attack me or my home (ants devoured some of our home!) the bug man is called.
 
HAHAHA BBG, my hubby gets those same calls ALL THE TIME!!! He laughs when he tells them the same thing you do...I can't kill the same bugs twice. Cracks him up when he gets those calls.
 
Just like my wife has already stated, You charge them again. Actually, the second time would be more. You know, it's harder to find the dead ones because they don't move around as much. Never miss an opportunity.

Have you ever woke up with an American cockroach crawling across your face? I dont think you would just scoop on of those big things up. Or, what about bed bugs? Just put them outside too? Also the "Lablab" bug/kudzuu beetle/Globular stink bug is an invasive species that could possibly decimate Ga's legume crops, therefore, they should be killed as well. :neenerbutt
