I thought some pest humour would afford some New Year cheer to everyone who is back in the office today or on the road carrying out the first pest inspection visits of the year. The weather out there is utterly miserable so if you are on the road please drive safely. The lashing wind and rain may be grim but hopefully these jokes will have you howling with laughter (or cringing with despair). And okay, I admit, Christmas crackers provided some of the inspiration, so think hard, did you hear the one about the pregnant bed bug?
