Got a pest problem in your pad? If you're in one of the five boroughs, then Animal Planet wants to help! Now this is what reality television was made for, people. According to Brooklyn365:
"They’ll set you up with an accredited local pest control company that will tackle your pest problem, and follow the process of making your home or business pest-free. They’re looking for severe pest infestations of any kind, from cockroaches and bed bugs to rats and raccoons. No infestation is too severe for their team."
Forest Hills may already be lined up for the neighborhood's raccoon problems. Other interested parties (ahem, MTA!) should email PestExterminatorCasting(at)gmail(dot)com, and include a description of the infestation, photos and/or documentation. The show isn't named yet, but fingers crossed for Pest Whisperer!
