It’s that time of year again that every pet rescue, shelter, and “fur momma” feels the need to disseminate needless fear and anxiety that the “big bad coyotes” will steal their fur-babies and this time it is under the guise of the Ohio Department of Wildlife.

…When I first stepped into that second floor classroom, I was convinced it would be a cake walk for me due to my experience with Presto-X. I had my AIB certification, my first level purdue certification, and went through the entire Copesan gambit. Dr. El Damir could have cared less…

In my last post I introduced you to Dr. Corrigan and how, unintentionally, he showed me that raising some eyebrows of my peers is oftentimes the key to success in this industry. From that point forward, I mixed traditional and nuanced tactics as I continued to grow in the industry. The man who gave me a wide berth and let me “geek flag fly” was Todd Leyse of Adam’s Pest Control.

And then I did the craziest thing I think anyone has ever asked Dr. Corrigan to do… I asked him to sign a wooden mouse trap for me with a sharpie. I was officially a Dr. Bobby Corrigan fan boy.

If there is one thing and one thing only that I can attribute my success in this industry to, it is not the equipment, it is not a certain bait, it is not my marketing prowess or my business plan. No, my success is due to my constant pursuit of education.
