After 12 years of touring this great country and providing information about insects and how you can take care of pests, I am excited to announce I will achieve a historic milestone when I reach my 1,000th television appearance this month.

My February schedule has already taken me to San Antonio, Las Vegas, Palm Desert, Calif., and Tucson, and my February 23 appearance on WFTX Fox 4 in Cape Coral will be my 1000th appearance.

For those of you that don’t know, I discuss a wide range of subjects during my television appearances, including West Nile Virus, termite infestation, fire ants, rodents and a host of other pest control problems facing home- and business-owners.

Being “The Bug Guy” has significantly increased the exposure and market presence for Truly Nolen in all of our domestic cities; however, as many miles as I’ve logged, our primary marketing element for visibility is our Mouse Car, and its ears and tail make it a lot more attractive than me.

In addition, just a reminder to those Nevada students participating in the Insect Contest – the deadline to submit your entry in your local public school is Friday February 20.

Be safe, stay dry, and hope you all have a buzzing day! The Mousecar is riding around with his windows down, looking for more friends on Facebook and tweeps on Twitter – interested?
