This is my second year of ADC work. Last year I did not make much profit , so I decided that this year I would advertise more , charge more , and hopefully work less and make more money.I went on a groundhog call in an upscale neighborhood a couple of days ago. A cute young lady answered the door and showed me where she had seen two groundhogs go under her deck. She told me that her and her husband were both nurse practitioners at a transplant hospital quite a distance away , so if they were not home to do whatever I needed to get the varmints out of there. I explained to her that I may catch a coon , possum , or skunk , and she could pay me to remove them , or , by law , I would have to release them on site. I asked what she wanted done with coons and she said "Kill them". I asked "Possums?". She made a face and replied "Kill them twice!". She got out her checkbook and said " You're setting three traps , so that would be three times the setting fee?" I set two comstocks with a splitter over the hole under the deck and got them both the next day. She and her husband pulled in the driveway as I loaded them in the truck. He got out and asked what I would do with them. I told him I would have to euthanize them and he said "Oh that's so sad". She was walking to the house , turned around and yelled , "No , it's not". I'd love to get another 100 clients just like her.
She would probably stuff a pillow over my head for oogling and inappropriate remarks.
