Whale Alert

Most people use the phrase “pointing out the elephant in the room.” However, I prefer using “the whale in the swimming pool.” Regardless of the name or the animal we use, we all have one. I know making such a confession is a little odd, but I want to be honest with you. So here’s my whale in the swimming pool.
Twenty-five years ago, I had to give up something very dear to me. My seven-year-old daughter changed her address to Heaven. I have given up much and have much to give because of it. I never intended to be an exterminator, but a year or so after my loss, I stumbled into pest control.
After twenty years of killing bugs, I have discovered that we all need to move forward the best we can, regardless of what we’ve been through. Despite what I go through or what obstacles I face when killing bugs, it could always be worse. And I want you to know that, when I come to your house, I’m in this with you. I want to have my eyes and ears and heart open. I want to be able to lighten your load, not just in terms of pest control, but in life.
