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…
