What is it about that profession anyway? Do the fumes get to them? How can you ask for assistant editors when you have an error in the first line? It is "an" exterminator not "a". OK please don’t tell anyone I called you out on that, it will prove I am way too neurotic. I am just do used to correcting grammar in my the 3yo I can’t stop myself! I need a 12 step program! I guess it is fate, it is what I do. Oh go ahead, give me props, I am taking new clients : - ourcrookedtree Mon, 19 May 2008 17:36:55 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1329 Straighten up, but do not super clean for the exterminator. We had the ant issue in an apartment, and it was unbearable, turns out the ants were in the wood that was used to build the apartment complex. Even the exterminators could not kill them fully, so glad we moved from there. Just for the record, my husband and oldest son are completely useless when it comes to bugs, I have to do that. Pop by the Cafe today, you may notice something interesting. - Mama Bear Wed, 14 May 2008 14:29:24 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1327 If you clean for an exterminator I am coming over there and ripping your arms out of their sockets. Not that I have a strong opinion or anything. Seriously, where will this end...weed eating around the mailbox for the mailman? Sweeping the porch for the UPS Delivery? Cleaning out your fridge for the repairman? Stop now while you can still use your fingernails to reach up that slippery slope. Oh, and good luck with the ants. In the Great Ant Invasion of '06 I had FIRE ANTS in my kitchen for 11 weeks. Oh the memories... - HRH Wed, 14 May 2008 13:57:41 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1326 Creepy crawling buggers. We had an ant problem as well two years ago. They even managed to get into our fridge!!! It was gross. I used to scream like a little girl and we had to call somebody in to get rid of them. Even as I write this I get goosebumps. - Kat Wed, 14 May 2008 10:01:37 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1325 Don't clean for the bug guy! And good luck ridding them, I hate bugs too! - Carrie Wed, 14 May 2008 09:14:12 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1323 I took care of a snake for my husband. How do you think he feels. :) Don't clean. It isn't a date. You don't want to look like you are trying too hard. Then again, if he's cute . . . - LaskiGal Wed, 14 May 2008 05:46:05 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1322 3 things Joeprah. 3 things. 1. Christmas Story is the best movie EVER. 2. I absolutely hate it when the exterminator comes, because it always just so happens to be on the mornings where I actually get to sleep in. Mom leaves the door unlocked and I wake up to a strange, deep bellied "Hellooooo, anyone home?" and he's way too happy for 9am. UGH. 3. Next time you have an ant problem, try nutrisweet. For real. It's a neurotoxin. They think its sweet, eat it, and die. Kind of like what's going to happen to all of us who still use fake sweeteners. Ok, sorry, not trying to be morbid or anything. Ha. - hottnanny Wed, 14 May 2008 03:52:19 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1320 We too have had our issues with ants. Aside from Amdro on the source, there is no exterminator who can forever rid you of them. We have found some liquid ant traps that work very well but never 100% or permanently. You can't stop them, you can only hope to contain them. - Hockeyman Wed, 14 May 2008 03:20:05 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1318 You know I'm going to call you G_____ for even thinking about cleaning for the exterminator. - Wonder Woman Wed, 14 May 2008 01:56:05 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1317 XBoxBoys comment was actually funny! So unlike him. I say, don't clean, he will think you are a big girly man. Talk in a deep voice and shake his hand vigorously. Random football and tool talk is a prerequisite. Well that is what my husband does. And he knows nothing about football or tools. Being a big girly man. - kelley Wed, 14 May 2008 01:46:02 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1314 Joe Joe Joe...just ask yourself, "what would Oprah do?" likely she would hire someone to clean....and that ain't gonna happen, so let it be. Relax....feed the ants. They deserve a really nice last meal, right? - Corey~ Living and Loving Tue, 13 May 2008 22:37:54 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1312 Ahhhh................the Ants. I'm having a hard time with them as well, but thanks to my darling son, who feels the need to LOOK for them, point them out to me and stands right there to make sure I put them outside far away from him, I've got them under control.....sorta. :x And why clean when he's just going to be treckin' dirt through your house anyways! :grin Just an excuse, but still a good one. - Nina Tue, 13 May 2008 21:38:22 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1311 I can't believe a dude is asking if he should pick up for the exterminator- what are you like Felix Unger or something??? - Michelle Gartner Tue, 13 May 2008 21:33:39 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1310 Hell no don't clean - dude's an exterminator - he's seen it all! - Don Mills Diva Tue, 13 May 2008 21:29:46 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1308 Those guys have seen everything. I wouldn't worry about cleaning your house unless you need a good excuse to do so anyway. Just put away the handcuffs. - Groovy Mom Tue, 13 May 2008 20:25:00 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1307 call in the pink panther.... (dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant.... geddit? ) - Xbox4NappyRash Tue, 13 May 2008 19:52:54 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1302 :roll Yo Joe, Is this Mr. Man Exterminator Guy shining his tools and poisons for you? I say pick up the obvious but don't bust your hump on this one. I always pick up to the point where our mess to look like it's an organized state of Chaos if the fix-it guy is here. Life is a work in progress and I can't be so vain! Maybe, but more maybe not, if I lived in the big city. BTW, I got a video of a cool kids birthday party idea on my Blog, and the new software curve is starting to be not so steep, I learned save, save again and save more often is most important! Because the software tends to lock up from time to time when it's not a good time, if there ever was a good time.

They ride in like Hannibel and the elephants. We finally had to stop bringing in food – for one year. Yeah, we lost a little weight. You’re going to pick-up for a bug guy? No man, there’s a man law against that. - Audubon Ron Tue, 13 May 2008 14:13:56 +0100 http://joeprah.com/rants/243-exterminator-protocol.html#comment-1292 I would pick up, not clean. He's a dude, and thus would likely not notice it. There is no shame in getting some help from a professional. Besides they might have some really cool gear to play with. - Russ Tue, 13 May 2008 13:26:31 +0100
