He didn't get punished......he just couldn't advertise that covering vents keeps out rodents He couldn't advertise that he's covering entrenches to try to keep out the rodents and other pests, which is exactly what he was doing. If you ever run a business I wonder if you'll still see a government edict against your being able to advertise what you do, as something other than a punishment. Its misleading. Its not misleading, it was the service that he was providing, and apparently with some effectiveness. Now if he said covering your vents is one way to prevent rodents from entering your house, they probably would have allowed it. No, they didn't go after him for breech of contract or false advertising. There is no evidence that he was guilty of either, but if he was that should have been the issue. Instead the issue raise was that he advertised that he was dealing with pests, and he doesn't have a pest control license. It wouldn't matter how effective his work was, or how accurate his ads where. Its a simple matter to this bureaucracy, no license, no claims about dealing with pests allowed.
