Pest Elimination Services Transparency & Terminology or PESTT Act If this becomes law how will this law personally affect your business? What percentage of your service area includes communities smaller then a population smaller then a population of 50,000? What percentage of your business includes rural operations? large rodents including beaver, muskrat and nutria. How will paragraphs 1,2,3 and 4 affect your business. For the purposes of activities authorized under the Act of December 22, 1987 (7 U.S.C. 426c), the term "urban rodent control" shall mean actions to directly control mice, rats, voles, squirrels, chipmunks, gophers, woodchucks, and groundhogs in a city or town with a population greater than 50,000 inhabitants and the urbanized area contiguous and adjacent to such a city or town, except actions involving: (1) federal agencies; (2) government entities engaged in a cooperative service agreement with APHIS to provide direct control of rodents as of October 1, 2013; (3) a state in which direct control of the rodent species has been expressly authorized by state law, rulemaking, or a local jurisdiction's ordinance promulgated by public notice and an opportunity for public comment or as otherwise promulgated as required and authorized by the respective state or local law; and (4) railways and airport air sides areas. APHIS will refer all requests for operational assistance with "urban rodent control" from private entities such as home and business owners and associations to the private sector.

My reading comprehention may be low but it appears beaver, nutria, muskrats have been dropped fromthe class of rodents leaving unlimited competition to private businesses for those three. It looks like the small family run businesses got who dood by big government. We need an association that represents these types of businesses which most wildlife businesses are. I'm thinking NWCOA and NPMA lean towards buggery and wildlife businesses big enough to stand up to the government.

Multiple organizations will continue to split the industry. Your voice will be too small to have an impact. The wisest trApperman will join nwcoa and vote in whomever they like.
Otherwise, expect to be working elsewhere someday.

For starters I think this is about the poorest representation we could of ever got from our any Trade organization. Pretty sad !! Getting back to business here. I really need a consensus how this proposed law is gonna affect you . Please answer my questions.

My reading comprehension might be off, but doesn't it say in the bigger cities rodent control will be from private companies? If you live in a small town that is bad. Either way government should stay out of it.
