Len, you might be now. This board suffered a spam attack and basically went quiet, it was put in maintenance mode. No postings. So it's getting the message out that it is up & running again. Always nice to hear from our colleagues from over the pond. Pest Control here different to States. Here we don't have to be licensed, so we have lots of wannabee's,minimum or no training, nickel & diming and low balling. You have EPA, we have European lead directives pushed onto us via EA environment Agency, Then other various government departments. Plethora of Associations, organisations. No overall cohesion. But welcome.

Nick, thank you for the reply. I had no idea of the conditions over there. Yet, I can tell from some of the things I read on here that there is some technicians over there that are very good. Our General Pest license is actually a hard test. In my state we have a couple companys that are horrible, scam artisit all about the money types but 98% of the rest are decent at least. Some are exceptional.

Len some State licenses are easy I hear. How does Connecticut stack up? Easier or harder to pass? Deal with a few American buds, so have a fairly good idea of conditions your side. Knowledgeable people every where in the pest game. Unfortunately lots of "experts" who have minimal training. Spray & pray or baseboard jockeys,.

Nick, For pest control, of the few I am familiar with, CT is the hardest. I don't know about states out west. With the wildlife license, CT set the standard for a lot of other states to follow.
