It has been slow here too Nick. I am down 50% from where I was last Jan. Jan is always our slowest month around here. However, the phone started ringing the past two days, I booked 7 in the last two days and had 3 or 4 price shoppers that didn't call back. That is a dramatic increase as I have only done 10 inspections this month. So hang in there, it can turn fast, I am hopeful it will hold up for another month and then we will be doing much better as mid Feb is when busy season usually kicks in here.

On the bright side, with tighter credit, we should be getting better buyers and less folks with no cash trying to get into a house. Also less competition as many will hang it up. This is a good time to come up with some new ideas and marketing strategies as well. Maybe even other streams of income from second businesses. This will be my second year in pest management and I am using this time to get some things done to help on that end to get me through the down cycle. Termites and spiders don't care about the market.
