I believe that would be the case. Dont know for a fact. Maybe some of the guys on here that do both could provide some insight.

Everything comes down to the market area, and now that you point it out you would be 100% right in my area.

We have a few wildlife calls a week, but we have a few bug guys doing very very well.

We have been doing Pest Control as an add on to our wildlife services for many years now. I got certified by accident in the sense I tested to be certified to use rodenticides for mice, rats and voles but the testing agent gave me the wrong category that was for general household insect treatments.

Well I passed the test but questioned the testing agent as to why the testing information I was given didn't appear relevant to the category I was to test for. When they checked the test they realized they had given me the test the fella behind me was to get. So he got mine and I got his.

Long story short, at a later date I was given the right test in my office as I made them come to my place since it was a good drive to go to the testing center in our area. Now we are certified in 3 categories.

Pest control is a good add on for our work.

Here's a question for someone like HD. Why do some states feel it is so important that they make guys apprentice for a lousy pest

control license? Our state will take a complete moron and if he or she has the money to take the course, practically guarantee that

they will pass the test. And I can see their point; we don't have pest controllers making headlines by poisoning pets or making kids

sick. If you can't read labels or use a measuring cup, you don't want to work in the field anyway. You won't make a decent living. I

realize that when you use our mosquito spray truck, you do have the opportunity to cause harm to bodies of water, so that test is a

lot harder but you still don't need an apprenticeship.
