We have some new company's popping up around here and a franchise bug company is now doing wildlife. I have had a few customers call in out rage about the attic treatments they have paid for.
The recent was a ole timer paid $1500.00 for a treatment to keep out squirrels. He couldn't wait for me to get back from vacation. The company cant catch the squirrel and the treatment didn't work. My story's are countless of this so called attic treatment.
My question is what is it and does it work for ANYONE? To me it's a gimmick.
Let me get this straight Company A took $1500 put down some magic and never even tried to catch the squirrel.
Company A refused to come back and honor their agreement and get the squirrel out.
There are several repellents for squirrels and just a visit to LOWES Deer OFF is listed for squirrels and a few others.
Repellent effectiveness is short term at best if at all. Repellents break down quickly temperature and humidity also pay a big role.
I'd like to get $1500 and
not have the aggravation of dealing with the whole job too like trapping out and full exclusion. Sadly such things don't exist and the way they went about it is probabaly fraud but I am not qualified to give a legal opinion but I would seek assistance from the authorities.
Pesticide Section: The Pesticide Section within the Tennessee Department of Agriculture works with commercial and private applicators, pesticide manufacturers and dealers,
structural pest control operators, farmers, landscapers
and others to ensure regulations are followed for public safety. The section also registers pesticdes and certifies applicators.For more information, contact these services at 615-837-5148.
Your customer should have the right to a MSDS on every product they used in their home. When I was in pest control I handed them out like candy until I put them up on the website for downloading 24/7.
I would be interested first in if the product they are using is registered in Tennessee?
Are they certified applicators? You said pest control so I bet they are.
Do they even hold a trappers license in TN?
They are taking a lot of money away from your potential customers. I really think if your customer calls Consumer Services TN Ag Dept their enforcement guys can stop them dead in their tracks if they are breaking any law taking $$ for services not delivered.
Keep me posted and try to get me several testimonies in writing and I will do a little of my own magic on them.;)
