Economy vs. Termites

I am probably the only person that wishes that termites would show up!!! It is about to be what us bug people call "termite season". This is the time of year that we make all our money. We are busy from usually the end of March until around Aug. Termites treatments cost hundreds of dollars so we can do less work and make more money!!! Gotta love that!!!! We are concerned this year because of the economy. Will people still spend the money to treat or just let the little suckers keep eating away at their house?
We have really had to think about this and how we can help our customers so that they can get their homes treated and still be able to live with the economy. We have notice some drop in pest control because several customers that we have had for 13-14 yrs. have lost their jobs and have to cut back. Some consider pest control a luxury. I guess everyone has to adapt so they can afford what they really think they need.
Hopefully this economy will not affect us during our "busy season." We will see!!!!
