Recession, what recession?

In today’s time of economic slowdowns, the stock markets downward spiral and families across America tightening their belts one sector seems to be thriving.
Food is in abundance, housing choices are no problem with new residences popping up every day. Old obstacles are slowly being removed that used to hold this group down clearing the path for population growth and a surge in freedom to pick and choose where and how they’ll live..

What sector you ask?

Why the pest populace of course. It seems that all kinds of businesses are feeling the pinch these days and the pest control industry is no exception. Households are cutting back to save money and it seems the bug guy is now on their list. Rats, mice, roaches and fleas now seem to have free run without those pesky ol exterminators around to hinder their pursuit of happiness. Populations of rodents and insects are beginning to explode in the northern states and reports of out of control infestations in other parts of the country are on the rise as well. While commercial establishments still need the pest control company’s, home owners have lumped pest services in with the luxury items and so they’re doing without.
I suppose homeowners are in the do it yourself mode trying to squeeze every dime they can. Interest in web resources such as this one are on the rise and local ‘u kill em’ stores seem to be increasing in sales. Most homeowners however, are doing nothing at all. Whether they are procrastinators or the task is to daunting pests are allowed to build up in these homes and soon I’m afraid they’ll have no choice but to hire someone or breakdown and “DIY”.
