  1. Some very interesting points especially Dekers, your spot on regarding risk assesments & method statments. H&S in any industry is becoming the biggest part to carry out the simplist task. However pest control is not all doom and gloom. I know of three one man companies that I have used over the last twenty years who have succesfull companies providing them with a well above average lifestyle. With jobs paying £80 to £125 for a couple hours work removing wasps nest, investigating flees and spraying for static which usually results in cash payment. Why worry about shooting rabbits / pigeons for less money and more hassel then dealing with a wasps nest. If rabbit / pigeon work comes along then you may wish to consider 1)offering days shooting to others for a small fee, 2)charge for what most of us on the site would be more than happy to do for free 3)sell your bags to local butchers etc. Three ways of generating income from one job, win win win. Of course all areas should be 100% legal, above board for the tax man and in compliance with H&S. The area to investigate I feel is the start up costs. Like all trades the work is out there you have just got to provide a better service then the next. Just one consideration for you. When your hobby becomes your full time work you will lose the love for your hobby. I have seen this time and time again. Whatever your choice, good luck and all the very best for the future.
