Richard Tannery’s Summary

***** As a leader and innovator in Termite control since 1927,Terminix International offers expertise that no other company can match. Our products and employee training are the best in the business, and we can not be beat on quality.
Currently, in San Angelo and West Texas in general, we are experiencing a late termite swarm season. This is due to a dry winter and a late spring rainy season.Typically, swarm occurs in March and April, but this year we are seeing activity as late as THIS WEEK. In fact, at my own house I woke up to thousands of discarded wings on my doorstep, a tell-tale sign of termite swarmers. Call me today to set up a complimentary inspection for your home or office. There is no charge regardless of our findings, and mention this Linked-In memo and receive 20% off your treatment.

**** Formerly an owner of Honeybee Texas Land Services, I have ceased operations as a landscaping provider and converted the business into a non-profit prodigy. Pending start-up funding, Honeybee Texas is a Colony Collapse Disorder advocacy group focused on collecting resources to fund CCD research. We take donations which go towards adopting certain stretches of Texas highways. We will then perform mass wildflower plantings along those stretches, and any additional resources will go to approved CCD research programs. To learn more, go to www.HoneybeeTexas.com.

***** FUTURE PLANS:
In the late Fall of 2009, I will join a business partner Roy Mannix with his landscaping company, Hill Country Escapes. We will ramp up maintenance account sales and refine our networking in order to phase in the new company, Home Team Service Club. Stay tuned, and visit www.HomeTeamServiceClub.com for more details.
