Three choices: Write to all the Boroughs in the area where you want to live asking if they've any vacancies in their pest control teams. Send CV Write to Rentokil, Terminex and and other big ones up there and ask if any vacancies up there. Send CV Start you own pest control business in the area you want to live in. If you work hard, you should break even after about five years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new to the flock Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 4th choice Move back to the North Yorkshire. Have the girlfriend get and get a job, and support you. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Another suggestion is, find the area you would consider living in, get hold of the local papers and have a look through the Sits Vac columns. Go for it, as LB said, "what have you got to lose". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
