Insect Control 102: Here’s how it happens
Bill and Bob (Sales and Regulatory VPS for NEW CHEM Company – but you knew that) are reviewing their data and package before it goes to the PMRA:
“Hey Bob, we need to finish the list of pests before we submit this label for PERM-O-TECHNO”
“Well, we have ants, and that’s the biggest market?”
“Yeppers, but should we add earwigs?”
“Yeah, that’s a great idea as my wife hates those little bastards with their big pinchers”
“What about sow bugs? You know, rolly- polly’s? Really? Pill Bugs??? What are you dumb?”
“Nah – there can’t be a market for that”
AND THUS A LABEL IS BORN AND THE LITTLE ROLLY POLLY ESCAPES THE DOOM FOR EVER AND A DAY!
All because Bob was dumb…
