Re: I really need your help!
Richard,
That's why it is called Pest "Control" instead of Pest "Extermination" or Pest "Elimination".
At best (and it is the goal) the purpose is to "control" 'where the pest are not'. Don't care where they are, as long as they 'are not' where you don't want them.
Push them 'outside' if that is the goal. Push them 'off the property' if that is the goal, they will go (will be) somewhere else.
"Control" is all that is being advertised and practiced.
I remember one termite monitoring / baiting system advertised their system as "Eliminates the colony" and they were sued, and they lost, because they did not "eliminate" "the colony" which was infesting and eating some structures. They "eliminated" 'some' colonies, but more than one was infesting the structure, and 'the' colony was not eliminated, with 'the' colony meaning each and every last colony causing the infestation.
In Florida, at least it used to be, and I think it still is, the state takes "fully guaranteed", "unlimited warranty" ... any wording other than "limited warranty" as meaning "there are no limits". Fair enough, if there are limits, it is "limited", right? Yep.
And you could not use the word "elimination" unless you proved that "elimination" was accomplished. Not 'partial elimination', but total elimination and annihilation of the pest being treated.
