Cosma Mendarozqueta is a bit of an anomaly in the pest control industry. For starters, he's a poet. No, not like "I write haikus in my spare time" poet. Like "I've been published in literary journals" poet. And he's not just a hobbyist either; he's the real deal, with a Master's degree in Creative Writing and everything. So how did he end up exterminating pests for a living? Well, that's a story for another day.
The point is, Cosma brings a unique perspective to the world of pest control. He sees the beauty in the creatures he eradicates, and he approaches his work with a sense of humor that would make even the most hardened exterminator crack a smile.
Take, for example, the time Cosma was called to a house to deal with a mouse infestation. The homeowner was a bit of a neat freak, and she had the house spotless. But despite her best efforts, the mice had found a way to get in and make themselves at home.
Cosma arrived at the house and surveyed the situation. He quickly realized that the mice were getting in through a small hole in the wall behind the refrigerator. He could have simply patched up the hole and been done with it, but that wouldn't have been any fun.
Instead, Cosma decided to have a little fun with the mice. He set up a series of traps around the hole, each one baited with a different type of cheese. He then sat back and waited to see what would happen.
The mice, of course, couldn't resist the cheese. They came scurrying out of their hiding places and began to feast on the delicious treats. Cosma watched with amusement as the mice got fatter and fatter.
After a while, the mice were so full that they could barely move. Cosma gently picked them up and released them outside. He then patched up the hole in the wall and left the homeowner with a warning: "If you see any more mice, just give me a call. I'll be happy to come back and have another poetry reading."
Cosma's unique approach to pest control has made him a bit of a legend in the industry. He's been featured in articles in magazines and newspapers, and he's even been on television. But despite all the attention, Cosma remains humble. He knows that he's not just a pest exterminator; he's also a poet and a philosopher. And he wouldn't have it any other way.
So if you're ever in need of a pest exterminator, don't hesitate to call Cosma Mendarozqueta. He's the best in the business, and he's always up for a good laugh.
