Dear Mr. Brite:
We began our "Roach Prufing" program in the early part of July, using ten men to apply the powder. After the first week we reduced the number of men to six, and after another week we dropped to two men.
As of this date I am suspending any further application of the product as we are barely able to find any live roaches. I have instructed the two men to wait a week before checking the areas again. If I find it necessary to apply any more powder, it will be done at that time. We do, however, plan to re-apply the powder periodically to certain areas where it is necessary to continually wash the powder away.
The hospital's Infection Control Nurse and I made a recent inspection of all the areas that were dusted and we were only able to find a handfull of live roaches. this is absolutely incredible, given the size (1400 beds and over 30 buildings) of the hospital, and the enormous infestation problem that we had before applying the Roach Prufe.
Your product is everything your ads claim it to be, and more. Thanks to you we have finally eliminated a problem that before this was apparently beyond the capabilities of professional exterminators.
Sincerely,
William Corliss
Fiscal Officer
