There is a series of Infested! programs on the Animal Planet channel this evening. It includes both mammal and insect invasions. It might be worth watching, just to see how some of our customers thought processes go.

It's obvious the folks in Canada with the coon problem had very little thought process going. Anyone who gets ZERO response from the landlord in multiple attempts regarding such an issue should have taken aggressive measures to get the problem dealt with. Maybe Canada has some very lax regulations for landlords.... but in the US the owner would be forced to take immediate action or have the entire complex shut down by DPH. I've seen it happen with bats.
No one capable of rational thought would remain in those conditions. Period. The landlord is responsible for the safety and well-being of renters..... and ignoring such an issue is a direct violation of law. I've seen many of those exact type of situations over the past 20+ years in this business, and the landlord is ultimately the one responsible.... including paying for alternate living arrangements (hotel/motel) during the time the situation is addressed.
About the show premise..... very good to see these stories, as so many people have no idea these type of problems actually exist. Certainly makes a case there is a need for the type of service we provide.

most folks have no clue when it comes to dealing with Raccoons or the problems that they bring with them. We spend a good portion of our time educating the general public. Absolutely the most important step in most wildlife control jobs: Educate the client FIRST. Exceptions may be predator control, mole contracts for large properties, muskrat and beaver work for municipalities or corporations. Problems at a residence almost always require a quick "critters 101" course for the homeowners. They are usually extremely interested, plus it shows you understand the animals and the problems they can create.

Looks like the show wants to feature a skunk job that Ive been working on for season 3. Has any fellow NWCO's done the show? I do like this particular show eventhough it is highly dramatized. If anybody has infact done the show I would very much like to hear your thoughts about your experience.

I got a call from Animal Planet last year. A woman from London called several times and wanted to feature a job I did but my customer declined so it never happened. I thought it was interesting that they contacted me.

the producers are based out of the U.K. I have given my statement and so have my customers. I get to use the "Infested" and "Animal Planet" logos on my website but they wont allow me to wear my uniform or anything with my logo during the interviews. I still think the show will be good for my image considering that my customers didnt have to move out.

I encourage all of you to go on any TV show that wants you. You're not going to have a series anyway, unless you can lie to yourself and everybody else, so just be yourself and do it. They'll just edit the heck out of it and you'll come out smelling like roses. I haven't seen one of you guys embarrass our business yet. Give it a shot.
