Today wasn't at all busy. The apprentice had the day off as he had a doctors appointment. First stop was a large organisation in E1 london that needed a precautionary contract in place. After looking around its many floors and small rooms with false floors it was lunch. We headed down Brick Lane for a bite in a nice little Thai takeaway (good cheap food!). After lunch it was back on the road up to north London to put a contract into place for rodents and cockroaches in an Indian restaurant. Nice little place with no problems whatsoever and surprisingly clean. After here we ventured back to east London to do a follow up on a mouse treatment. When we arrived, the tenant informed us that the mice were unfortunately back. What they had decided to do was push all the wire wool the technician had placed and to take all of the bait but also left some lovely parcels of joy behind for us to clear. After sealing the holes with concrete, it was back to the office for some paperwork and finally updating everyone out there, as I am now.

1st day reporting

Well today began with a bright and early start with the sun shining through the windscreen at 6.30am on the way to pick up 007 Pest Control's new apprentice. He has had no experience of the job but paid to go on the course himself so we shall see how he progresses over the next few weeks.

Our first job today was in the Grays area. We had a call from a lady that was experiencing problems with bees in her chimney. When we arrived, we set out to smoke the bees out of the chimney. As expected quite a few flew out from the top so hopefully we have solved that.

Then it was up to London for the day. Pigeons in north London were accessing some previously installed netting by another company and we had the job of repairing. Not a big job just a few small holes that needed patching. Then came a call for bedbugs in a bedsit, again in north London. This was the new boys first experience of these little critters so we got him suited and masked up and just told him to observe how the job was being carried out. After about an hour and a half we had completed the job.

Back to sunny Essex for the afternoon were we had some in-house training take place just to jog our newcomers memory.

All in all, a good day. The apprentice seems quite confident and knowledgeable. Lets see what tomorrow brings.
