Sounds impressive, but i would like to see the details and what is required to vaidate the warranty as well as exclusions and costs.. sounds impressive, but without those details, one can only wonder.. more on this later..

But if it's just 30 days, then that's 3 treatments if they're spaced 2 weeks apart, so maybe that's all this bill intends. Plenty of arguing though; it's part of the bed bug's strategic advantage. Humans argue and they... mate, I guess. Yeah.

Clearly written with no built in loopholes... I am really impressed. If this was the industry norm... there would be no need for the proposed legislation. I think you are right... I don't see how they will deal with the re-infestation vs treatment failure disputes that will be created without ending up in a court hearings based on speculative arguments to decide the case. When it comes to bed bugs...justice delayed is truly justice denied. Renee

Of course, some already price jobs as if they're going to spend a lot of time treating but end up going in and out in minutes all the same. I guess they wouldn't be able to do that if they charged by the hour. I think I only know one PCO, in another country, who charges by the hour. Seems to work for him. If prep is increasingly professionalized, decoupled from PCO services, and even transformed into non-pesticide bed bug treatments, I wonder what strictly speaking will be the remaining role of the PMP. I'm well perplexed by the many things that are broken in how bed bugs are treated. I think technology may leave some of these problems behind. Eventually. Hey Ci Lecto, there’s an idea.

Perhaps it would be better to charge time and materials, repeating as often as necessary.
