Hollywood Owes Us One

I’m not sure if I’m the only one in the pest control industry, however I feel that Hollywood owes us. Since I can remember Hollywood has been reinforcing the pest control stereotype. You know the one, all exterminators have to be dumb and generally look pretty ugly. Ok, I admit to being slightly dumb and not exacty pretty. But that is an exaggeration!

imgresUp until now that has been fine. They have always made it up to us with scary albeit sometimes bad, horror movies involving bugs or insect type aliens that hopefully give people brand new fears to pests, which makes more pest control customers.

 Come on, the last somewhat big pest movies I can think of are Mimic (1997) The Fly(1986) or Arachnophobia (1990). While I literately can’t think of one time Hollywood hasn’t portrayed the pest control stereotype. Just a rant
