I put SPMAO first as a request from a friend 😁 But where are you guys in stopping this utterly ridiculous move on the PMRA’s part to start registering mechanical devices for insect control? Are you calling on all members, supplies, allied industries, and your higher power to make the PMRA come to their senses? […]
Read More »Surprised I have written after being semi-isolated for the past 5 weeks. I say “semi” as there’s still doctors, drugs and digestables, and I am the designated shopper. We do share those duties a bit, but with checking in at work and running my other errands it’s just as easy to stop somewhere. Plus I […]
Read More »Here’s another acronym you may find scattered throughout in future Rants, if I can continue to find things to Rant about. (that’s an good one! Should stop while I’m ahead). Anyway. OAR, ORA, ARO. I tried to find the combo that sounds the snappiest. Orkin/Abell/Rentokil. I suppose OAR is apropos as it also captures their […]
Read More »I’m going to skip with the lesson and go straight to the quiz. Multiple choice, so even our friends in Ottawa (sorry I forgot I don’t have friends there) can pass it. And only 2 questions! Question 1.) You have been asked to do a preventative treatment of a home backing on to the Rouge […]
Read More »Here I come to save the day! Mighty Mouse is on the way! Remember Mighty Mouse? You might if you were born in the 40’s or 50’s. That was one cool comic character, would kick the butt of those Paw Patrol wimps I tell you. Any…kinda digressed. Back to mites. Rat mites, bat mites, bird […]

Read More »If you’ve read through my last rant (okay I deleted the last one) PMRA is planning on eliminating one of the best tools we’ve had in this industry for quite some time…Demand CS. “Potential of risks of concern” What kind of political mumbo jumbo BS is that? ANYTHING has a potential of risk of concern!!! […]
Read More »Okay…we don’t have to rape and burn and pillage…although I have really wanted to try that pillaging stuff. Need a Viking hat…or a PM’s costume. But when there is a rightfully known concern, and you have one of the better means and knowledge base to address those concerns, then why not put that to use, […]
Read More »You heard it hear first. Just look in the Canada Gazette, Volume 190878, Chapter 113300, page 17587, July something, 2016. In a move to save Canadians from their own stupidity, Health Canada has banned water. This in response to a drastic increase of accidents, dismemberment and deaths directly associated with the misuse and abuse of […]
Read More »First off, I’m surprised two months have gone by without a RANT! And I’ve had “ranting my butt off” ideas everyday. You just have to wake up and the stupidity starts. Anyway…typical scenario: Bbbbrrriiiing bbbbrrrinnng (my version of a phone ringing) “Good morning Gardex Chemicals, Samatta speaking”. “Oh hi, My name’s Betty Homecottage and I […]
