| We need a seperate Topic for Chaos. I think the topic for "getting started" is not a good place to get started. I am going to step back and wait till the smoke clears. |

Heck, He's outta gas, thats why I got brave. I'll have to be careful when he gets some more napalm.
I ain't got many feathers left. Hair is getting thin too. I spent too much time on this monster today, I better get back to my NFIP book. |

Are you talking about the newbies thread? Ghost ended up a PA and I became a small horse. It was nasty.
It would be good to have a thread where you go to vent your frustrations. I'm sure we'd all spend alot of time there. |

| If you do a Yahoo search for "chaos" you receive 4.5 million hits. That is slightly less then total monthly procedure changes received by those members doing mold claims. |

Chaos comes in many different forms Newt.
Despite their negative reputation, brown recluse spiders get blamed for crimes they did not commit, says an arachnologist who is doing his best to set the record straight.
"People are very wrong to believe really bad things about them," said Rick Vetter, of the University of California, Riverside. Doctors misdiagnose hundreds of brown recluse bites around the country every year, Vetter said, often in places where the creepy-crawlers don't even live. Meanwhile the spiders have lived with people for years, apparently without biting them.

I only ran accross them one time here. I was called by a Lawyer who lived in a condo on the lake that needed pest control service. I found the place infested with Brown Recluse. I put out glue traps and caught about fifty in a couple of hours. I spent the next day at Auburn Univ with Dr.Oi and he agreed thats what they were.
I contacted the other tenants and told them to get in touch with their PCOs and have them check all apts for these critters. I also notified the condo assn. and State Health Dept. I had about fifty vials with a sample in each one that I gave to the Univ, state and some to the EMTs. This was a first in this area. The state had no luck getting cooperation from the assn. the other PCOs didn't believe it, or could't find them. I contacted the state again, and they ordered the whole place treated or closed.
I had a policy, If they were not a customer and I inspected and found any thing, I would not treat, period. I always felt that would be a conflict. So I treated the whole place on my nickle.
Now we don't have them in this area. It took 300 gallons of chemicals.
They seldom bite, when they do, its a little worse than a Black Widow.
In this Condo there were no reported cases of bites.
Dr Oi and his wife also a prof. at Auburn said they seldom bite, but when they do it has devistating results. Dr Gary Bennett of Purdue Univ, who I learned a lot from at Purdue, he heads up the Entomology Dept. says about the same thing, they rarely bite. |
