Was thinking about starting an exterminating business specializing in bed bugs. I'm seeing alot of stories of it becoming an epidemic. I had them a few years ago myself, had 2 different exterminators do it for me, charged me alot and the bugs kept coming back. I went online, and bought the chemicals, did it myself and I got rid of them. I figured I'd take some online courses, get certified, get some insurance, and a pickup truck, and maybe get this rolling with $10-15,000. I live in New York state, and I know they have alot of fees and taxes, but I figured I'd run it by you guys before I look into it deeper. Thanks

Chemicals? If so, I bet the liability premiums are enormous

Be ready to work longer and harder than you ever have or don't even try it. Give it a go or you will never know!

Thanks guys for the encouraging words, they are really helpful. It's a big step in today's economy. I know that I am going to have to work my ass off, but I'm sure in the end it will be rewarding. Thanks for the ideas guys.
