: About Me

I am 24 years old and was born in the panhandle of West Virginia, but grew up in a Tiny little village of no more than 300 people in Southeastern Ohio. I now live in the Cleveland area and work full time as a Pest Control Technician. The fact that I make my living as an exterminator is very ironic, because I Love animals, nature, and all living things! I would love to have a job where I can work with them and protect them, but until that time comes..... I still have bills to pay, so I have to continue doing pest control until something better comes along. Although, I must admit that anytime I have the opportunity to save an animal rather than killing it, I will always choose giving the animal the gift of life! I guess you could say that I am an exterminator with a genuine heart! HAHAHA! Reading and writing is something that I did alot of as a child, but kinda grew away from over the years..... thanks to this site, maybe I can work on changing that. I've already written more in the past few days than I have in a long time! So I definately feel that this is a good thing!

My passion is ...

Animals, Nature, and anything wildlife / Natural Science / Music / Food

I know too much about ...

Pretty much useless stuff........... I don't come across as being the brightest person, but when it comes to the things I do know about, I'm a genius! LOL!

My parents always told me ...

that I can do anything if I put my mind to it

My childhood ambition ...

To work with animals

My favorite memory ...

One last trip to Florida, just me and my grandma spending time together because she was diagnosed with cancer and given less than a year to live...... I will never forget how much fun we had, and how much I miss her!

Why I write ...

I heard once somewhere that in order to write well, you must write about what you know.......... If what I write helps even just one person, well then that is all the inspiration I need to keep writing!

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Actually nothing is on, the only sound I hear right now is the sound of the furnace running.

My first job ...

Stockroom and Customer Service at JCPenney's

My best moment ...

I would have to say my best moment is when I was a child, I won a few different poster, art, and writing contests......It's such a great feeling to be awarded and looked up to, for something that you achieved...... I don't really have that anymore.....

My inspiration ...

Just simply life experiences, and the fact something I write may help others.

Home & Garden > Weeds & Pests The most common pest control mistakes

4 of 4

What is the most common pest control mistake people make when treating their own homes? Well the most common mistake is most likely, simply not knowing the pest you are trying to rid your home of. Does this mean to introduce yourself to it formally and have a conversation over tea and crumpets? Of course not! Although most pests would love the hospitality of free food... that would simply be downright ridiculous, and your family would probably think you lost your mind as well. So what do I mean by "getting to know the pest"? Well, it really is quite simple. How do you bake a cake without k...
