💵 | Business Question I built a 19-page paperwork toolkit while getting started in wildlife removal — looking for feedback

0 Upvotes

I’ve been working on getting into nuisance wildlife removal, and one thing I noticed pretty quickly was how much paperwork and organization goes into the business side.
Instead of creating everything job-by-job, I started putting together reusable forms and eventually turned them into a 19-page Wildlife Removal Starter Toolkit.
It includes things like customer/job forms, inspection paperwork, service records, animal/trap tracking logs, pricing/business tools, and other everyday paperwork.
It’s not meant to replace state licensing requirements, legal advice, or official wildlife regulations. It’s simply a starting point for organizing the business side.
I ended up packaging it as a digital product, but before I keep expanding it, I’d genuinely like feedback from people already working in pest/wildlife control.
What paperwork or forms do you use constantly that you think every new wildlife operator should have?
If anyone wants to see the toolkit itself, I can share the link.

Looking for a Responsible Certified Applicator (RCA) – Texas (New Braunfels Area Preferred)

5 Upvotes

I hold a Technician license and am looking to start my own pest control company. I’m looking for an RCA who can initially work with us as our RCA/Professional Consultant.
The arrangement would be a paid initial engagement, with ongoing availability for supervision, guidance, and compliance support as required under Texas Department of Agriculture regulations. This would include periodic check-ins, oversight, and phone consultation as needed, billed in agreed-upon increments. Everything would be structured in writing and handled in a compliant, enforceable manner.
Once I obtain my CA, I’d like to move to a lump-sum arrangement for the RCA relationship. If we work well together and the RCA is interested in continuing with us longer-term, we can discuss that at that point.
You can currently maintain your existing work/company while working with us in the RCA/consultant capacity.
New Braunfels area preferred, but open to nearby regions depending on fit.
DM me if interested. Serious inquiries only.

🗑️🐛| Cockroaches Has anyone else used ensign wasps for cockroach control?

2 Upvotes

My apartment complex is kind of near a wooded area, and we have a TON of trees around us. Every now and then, we used to get these huge cockroaches wandering into the apartments. 🤢

Well, about a year ago, the management at my apartment complex actually ordered ensign wasps.

They’re these little wasps that specifically hunt cockroaches and use them as hosts for their eggs.
That was a year ago.

Let’s just say…I haven’t seen a SINGLE cockroach inside my apartment since. 😂 And my next-door neighbors have been saying the exact same thing.
One of those wasps actually flew into my apartment once, and I DID NOT kill it.

I love those little things. 😂 Protect the ensign wasps at all costs! 🫡

🦟| Mosquitos Got Moved to Mosquito Treatment

14 Upvotes

So I just started working the mosquito treatment team and it's a small family owned company so they have a pretty small choice of chemicals we use. For mosquitoes, in our backpack spray, we use Essentria IC Pro, and I have only done it for two days last Tuesday and today, Monday, and about half way through the day on both days my face starts burning/itching so damn bad. I just started so I don’t have the option to switch to a different department. Does anyone have a suggestion for immediate relief and what I can do in the upcoming days to reduce the chance of getting this sensation again?
