re: Business start up ideas

Spraying yards for mosquitos. A backpack blower with the attachment for dispersing chemicals runs $700-$800. The chemicals themselves cost pennies per yard. It is hard work, but you can hire hard working young folks (if you can find any) to do the labor. My buddy has a company that sprays over 500 yards a month at $50/yard/month. He also owns another company (similar to TruGreen) that sprays lawns for weed control and keeping them green.
