I kill bedbugs with my pops. It pays fantastic like 40-60hr for me and over 100+ for him sometimes close to 2 hundo.
It is literally unreal the amount of money you can make. People want bedbugs gone. Like yesterday. There isn’t many people who aren’t straight up con men that will actually get em so if we do a nice house or apt building it’s a lot of $$$

It’s funny because part of our pitch caters to earth loving all natural hippy types by saying we use essential oils and no poison. We can use a blend with no prometherin but the reality is that the bugs will not die as reliably without massive amounts of it applied to their “hidey spots”

You should say you have a plan to relocate them. Kinda like troublesome bears...

The way it's done around here, is they come in with special heaters designed not to burn your house down or melt paint off your walls, but it's still happened. And you have to either hire movers to off your stuff and clear your house out for the most part. And your furnature is pretty much toast. I do moving work for people on the side renting out uhauls but that job def coincides with bed bug removal if one were to get into both areas. The multimillion doller idea is whoever comes up with the TRUE easier enviromental friendly method or product. Like a magnetic frequecy that makes them all eat themselves. Or some kind of active mycelium that will omit a spores that targets their colonies

It is an unusual job that pays well. I'd love to get into the offshore division, but it's hard to get into. Especially since there isn't much for North American builds yet.

meh, I'm pretty deep in this career now. PV doesn't require any maintenance or troubleshooting after it's installed.
Fixing the robots is good job security. More moving parts means more shit breaks.

Research is being done to invent a technology that restricts them from reproducing eletronically or something. It’s over my head it’s all higher university research right now. Also a gas machine that administers lethal concentrations of chlorine dioxide is in the works Just so we don’t gotta mix up the chems ourselves. And set off the reaction. It’s kinda nerve wracking at first. The molecules of chlorine trigger the carbon alarm and the whole building usually wants to know whatup
We use steam to avoid having to ruin furniture because it’s true that sometimes you can’t dose or gas a super infested dresser enough

So, the only thing I do not like about windmills is basically it is set up and forget. No long term jobs. Here in china, with coal plants going up at a fast pace, not only miners power plants are prospering, but especially here in the far east, everything is made here. So the vendors from conveyor belts to fuel, tires, heavy equipment manufacturers down to the nuts and bolts guys. Their economy is booming and is soaring in every aspect.
Soon, as the liberals in the west have their way, not only will coal miners oil field production and natural gas is replaced ala fracking concerns. Where are people going to work? If so many jobs are reliant on, or directly affected by energy then where does that leave our economy?
Young folks are so railroaded into "change" that they forget about the impact that it will have on the economy and their future as well.
Trust me I am glad you erect windmills AhabMcBathsalts pretty cool honestly, and I can't blame you for taking a nice paying job and looking after your future.
But the young forgot where the US came from and made it so prosperous.
If we take all that away, what are we looking at? Losing our world power status. Huge negative economic impact.
That's why I do not believe that it ever will go away, the energy industry.
When Hillary Clinton was campaigning in 2016, she said when she gets elected a lot of cola miners are going to be jobless. She failed to mention the 4 times as many jobs that are directly related to them.
A little something to think about #Mikedrop

It doesn't matter about politics, wind and solar are cheaper than coal without subsidies. The writing is on the wall already.
The future is now.
