CASE SUMMARY - Office of Indiana State Chemist

5. On Friday, June 3, 2005, Mrs. Daly of Sasquatch Pest Control contacted me. Mrs.
Daly stated that they have not made any applications since I first spoke with them
in 2003. Mrs. Daly also stated that they have been attempting to get insurance for
the business, but have not been able to find someone to insure it. I informed Mrs.
Daly that Sasquatch Pest Control had again advertised in the new Fort Wayne
phone book in the yellow pages. Mrs. Daly stated that she was unaware of this,
but it may have been a “two for one” special when they advertised for their other
business. Mrs. Daly informed me that the BBB of Fort Wayne had contacted them
about applying for membership and she had told them that Sasquatch Pest Control
was not currently in business. I informed Mrs. Daly that they would not be issued
a pesticide business license until our office received the necessary documentation
and fees and all civil penalties were paid. Mrs. Daly stated she would contact the
Attorney Generals office to see about paying the fine and would work on getting
the other documentation issues in order.
DISPOSITION: Tim Daly and Sasquatch Pest Control were cited for violation of
section 14(9) of the Indiana Pesticide Use and Application Law for professing to be in the
business of applying pesticides for hire. A civil penalty in the amount of $500.00 was
assessed for this violation. Consideration was given to the fact that this is their second
violation of similar nature.
On September 20, 2005, the OISC Compliance Officer, George N. Saxton, was advised
that Sasquatch Pest Control was out of business. The licenses for Tim Daly and
Sasquatch Pest Control were suspended indefinitely and the database records changed to
“inactive” status. No licenses will be granted until such time as the civil penalty is paid
for this case.
