If one of your trucks had an accident right now, would your technician know how to handle a chemical spill? While preparing to write this ar-tide my mind wandered back to a day in 1995.1 was working in Terminix's Orlando branch, it was Saturday duringswarm season (this was when we still had swarm seasons). 1 was just about to go home when the phone rang. I was informed one of my termite trucks was leaking chemical in a parking lot. By the time I arrived to the location, there were two fire trucks with six firemen on the scene. Two firemen were rummaging through the back of our truck, two were putting up barriers at the entrance of the lot and two were staring at the millcy spill. The technician was nowhere to be found. this was before Nextel, so Ihad no way to find out where he was. 1 approached the firemen and introduced myself and told them I would handle the spill. They all stepped back. I went over to the technician's truck and turned the handle on the treating wand to stop the leak. Then 1 proceeded to go to my truck and took out E-Z- Sorb (1TB Company, www.itbcompany.com).
