We actually have to have training for our licenses with the state. To keep your license active, you must attend at least 6 hours a year. I love going to the classes, you learn a lot. Especially nice for me, due to the fact that I am not in the field, but do have a license.

BB, I'm working on a sitcom script based on your life. The main character is a female exterminator that's afraid of bugs. Couple of working titles are: "Don't Bug Me", and "WTF Is That Thing?"

I have a friend who flies fighter jets in the Air Force who is that way. He uses gallons of bug spray around his house. Not afraid to take on the Red Barron, but the Black Widow scares him to death.

Aw, this makes me so sad. I'm currently in Camden County, NJ (WAY too many water bugs/roaches during spring/summer) and cannot wait to get out because of it, and was considering Las Vegas, NV :[

Considering the amount of water bugs I have dealt with in the past year/what I have been through, I only want to go to a city/place were I won't have to deal with any bug problems.

Try Alaska. I think it's too cold for most bugs up there.

Not a lot of entertaining things to do though.
