Pest control

On my way to and from work i pass many shops and buisnesses.
I have a favourite...

.... 'Pest Control', which, i presume, is where you call if you have an animal pest in your house or office etc.

What i love is the sign they have outside their office, next to the road. It has in big letters 'pest of the week', then a gap where the 'pest of the week' can be displayed. I find it funny that someone has a pest of the week, usually these sorts of titles are for good things, but i suppose pests are a good thing for 'pest control' because thats their job!

When i first passed by and saw this sign the cynic in me thought, "i bet that sign never changes, it'll be the same pest for months".
But i have been prooved wrong, there has been many pests given the coverted title of 'pest of the week'; german cockroach, house mouse, mite, bed bugs...

Presently it is the brown rat.
Oh joy of joys, the daily commute!
