Original subtitles

Culprit has left a considerable

amount of evidence.

Pellet-like, maybe an inch and a half.

Could be a turkey, cheetah, lion,

possibly even a grizzly bear.

Nope, that's rat droppings.

No matter where you are, rats...

you won't be safe with Dan on the case.

The Rat Shit Detective.

My name is Daniel Petronijevic.

I'm an actor...

You ever seen the Milky Way over Lake Titicaca?

...and I've played a ton of blue collar jobs on TV.

May the welding gods be with us!

But I've always wondered,

do I have what it takes to do it in real life?

Well...

We're about to find out...

'Cause this is Blue Collar.

You ever had mice, rats, cockroaches?

Critters of all kinds?

Apparently it's more common than most people think.

Today, I'm working with team Orkin Canada,

and we're about to find out how they hunt down

unwanted house guests, how they kick 'em out,

and how they keep 'em out.

Let's go pester some pests.

Hi there.

Looking for a guy named Andrew.

He's right there.

- There? - Yeah.

Okay, so there's...

Thank you.

Hi, there.

We can, ah, we can send them out.

Hi, there.

- Hi. - Hey!

- Dan, how's it going? - How's it going, man?

Andrew. Service manager.

Good to meet you.

So do you have what it takes to be

a technician for Orkin Canada?

I have no idea.

This is not an easy job.

- Are you afraid of mice? - No sir.

- Rats? - No, sir.

- Racoons? - No, sir.

- Squirrels? - No, sir.

- Bedbugs? - What kind?

Okay. There's one kind.

When I'm in bed, I don't mind

a good load of sucking.

When it comes to bedbugs, that's where I draw the line.

So how's your attention to detail?

Take a look at this rat's nest right here.

You have to take it seriously,

or we can't have you out there.

- Fine! - Okay.

You Tell me what to do and I'll do it.

I'm going to see if I could get you

with one of our teammates.

- Hey, Halbe. - Hey.

Hey, how's it going? I'm Halbe.

How be... me?

No. Halbe me.

What's the man's name?

- Halbe. - Halbe?

- Halbe. - Halbe.

- Halbe. - How-be-it?

- How-be. - How... be. Daniel.

Keep an eye on him. He's going to be a little bit

of a troublemaker, I think.

I will not, sir. Nobody likes a rat, right?

We'll go to my car,

parked out front.

- See you soon. - All right.

Andrew said he is a little bit unsure of me.

Snitches get stitches, Andrew.

What these guys don't know is that

I've brought my own secret weapon.

Rat's nest!

Halbe, where are we headed?

We're going to go off to

our first cockroach service.

They've been having some issues in their lunchroom.

We're going back again.

We've already put down some monitors

and we're going to see how big the problem is.

Any sanitation issues.

Pooling water, standing still food.

I'm pretty good at keeping shit clean,

but I'm almost like an animal when I eat.

- Shit's falling everywhere. - Same.

But at least I clean up after myself.

Alright, well let's head in and

see what these cockroaches are doing.

Alright, sounds good.

3, 2, 1.

Got you, you little cockroaches!

Let's look for these areas that

I talked to you about. You got to look for food.

Any crumbs, any water spillage.

This place has had quite a bit of issues

when I first came in. It was kind of gross,

so we talked about what they got to be doing,

and that's why we're here,

to find out if they're doing it or not.

Look what I've spotted.

Somebody's just throwing frigging sugar around

like it's fucking salt.

Spills like this,

it takes two seconds to clean up.

Ooh, shit. That looks rank.

You see all these crumbs?

Yeah?

That's what they got to be cleaning up

Pizza? That's, that's half good.

How old do you think this is?

Weeks. You know how frustrating that is for us?

- Weeks? - We're gonna go and...

...tell them, like, "Look, you can't leave this out."

There's no way that's weeks.

You don't know what's been on it.

Alright, what else you got here?

Somebody left their dishes in there.

Exactly what cockroaches want.

This is why they're getting comfortable here.

- Smorgasboard. - Oh, boy.

So these areas here, right, all these cracks,

that's where these cockroaches

are gonna be hiding.

- These dots... - Yeah?

- Is cockroach poo. - No way!

That's their fecal, that's their poop.

That's how they also communicate.

Let's them know, "Hey, I was comfortable here."

Really?

Cockroaches communicate with their shits.

I do it occasionally with burps,

but apparently I gotta up my game.

Open that, I'll show you something else.

Holy shit. H'yaw!

Look at the pipe.

I'll show you a fuckin' pipe.

That's what we call a highway.

That's a cockroach highway?

They're gonna be trying to hide,

and they'll move from one area to the other

in these offices.

And we know that the main issue started here,

but has now gone to other places.

And so, now, we can take a look at these traps we placed.

You're gonna see that's a female that had the egg.

Oh, shit! This brown tube-y thing?

Yeah. Every six weeks,

that one tube can hatch up tp 30 to 50 cockroaches.

Why is it making my fucking head itchy?

Are you ever worried about like taking any of them

- home with you? - Oh, yeah, man.

I did a treatment. I flipped over my collar,

and there was 3 cockroaches just right there.

And I then basically stripped, because I was like,

I'm not- I'm checking everything.

You dirty sumbitches, you burn that shit!

I'm gonna hand you these traps,

and then we're gonna go around and

we're gonna bait everywhere, okay?

As in "master"?

No.

This is super frustrating for us.

I've already talked to the clients.

If they're not cleaning up their food,

they're just making it

so much more attractive for cockroaches.

It makes our life more difficult.

Working together is the best way to

get rid of the problem.

Halbe, or how not to be?

Right here, I'm putting one behind this.

- Good? - Yeah.

I am the master-baiter.

We're done.

Halbe takes his shit seriously.

Don't leave a mess.

Like, if you leave any food scraps on the table

or the counter, he gets angry!

Or maybe not angry.

Maybe he just gets disappointed.

And I think that might even be worse.

Let's go.

Okay, man, let's do this.

Where are we going now?

The next job, we're gonna be

heading over to a warehouse.

There is a rodent issue at the moment.

I see, what kind of rodents, do you know?

I've suspected they've had a couple rat problems.

Usually to get rid of the problem,

we use a snap trap.

I set a couple of them up already.

Alright, let's go.

We're going to be going down this corner here now.

I feel like I'm the pied piper.

If I just start whistling...

I'll call them out.

We're going to look around for different issues.

What's the problem with that?

It's got food.

Look at that.

Something just chewed its way through.

- That's a rat shit. - Yeah, that is not a mouse.

These are rats' shits.

I've already informed them that they shouldn't

keep their dog food out like this.

They have a guard dog, I understand that.

But keeping dog food,

which is very high in protein,

so a lot of rats are actually attracted to this.

Put it in a garbage can and put the lid on it.

Last time I was here, we set the trap up.

So where's this other rat trap?

- Yeah, let's go. - Let's do it.

Hey, we got one, let's go!

- We got a rat? - Yeah, we got one!

- No way! - Look at it!

- No way! - Look at that.

- Oh, shit! - Oh, yeah.

He needs a name. That's my boy, Ronnie.

- Ronnie? - Ronnie.

It's a rat.

That is a magnificent, majestic rat named Ronnie.

Ronnie, what have they done to you?

No, Ronnie!

Part of the job.

Oh-ho, Ronnie!

We're gonna check for holes.

We caught the rat there.

- Ronnie! - Yeah, ok, yeah, Ronnie.

Fuckin' have some respect, man.

I asked the clients, please move all these skids.

We'll see there's a hole that leads underground

or outside or anything, right? So...

Holy, look at that.

Yeah, I can even put my whole hand through here.

Look at that.

That's the 401 of rat roads.

We have to look at fixing this up for them

as soon as possible.

Alright, Dan, you want to go and grab my bag?

Certainly.

Alright, so, we're gonna use this.

It looks like steel wool, but it's called excluder.

When you push it into a hole, it expands.

Cool!

So, we're gonna get this fully sealed up here.

Nicely done.

But we gotta set up those traps now, alright.

Let's set 'em.

The best thing to use

is what it's already been eating.

I've used ham, I've used jam.

So you don't want to put too much.

Put too much, they'll actually sit there

and they'll lick at it.

Oh!

We always have the back of the trap

against the wall. Rats tend to run along walls.

All the way in the corner.

Don't be scared, nothing's there to bite you.

You don't be fucking scared.

Why?

Why?

Okay, we're done.

We ain't done yet.

We stand here today staring at the corpse

of my boy, Ronnie.

A creature that lived by the model,

"You take what you can, when you can,

and how you can, and you scurry off

into the night before anyone notices."

The walls were your highways.

Cruising off into the world.

Some people call you vermin.

Some people call you a menace.

But never me, Ronnie.

I wouldn't do you like that, Ronnie!

You were quick, you were cunning.

Smarter than every snap trap

until you weren't, obviously.

One snap, one wrong turn, just, whap!

Fucking dead. Why?

Why?!

Why, Ronnie, why?

Ah-ah!

Good bye, little hustler.

Why? Why?

I love you always, Ronnie.

What do we gotta do next?

Hopefully, something with fewer speeches.

Shit.

First and last time I'll ever do this.

Dan's off to do wildlife control with Kayla.

Hopefully he doesn't get too attached to anything.

Hello? Is Kayla here?

- Dan? - Whoa!

- Hi. - Hi.

What are you, a ninja?

- I'm Kayla. - You're Kayla?

- Nice to meet you. - Pleasure to meet you.

- Welcome to the warehouse. - Thank you very much.

So, we're here today 'cause our customer's

been finding lots of evidence of raccoons.

And I was here yesterday, set a couple traps,

so today, you and I are gonna go check the traps

and see if we caught anything.

How the hell are they getting in here?

Probably the way you did,

the wide open door.

Giant, wide open door.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Forget I asked that question.

- After you. - Thanks.

Whoa! This place is cool.

Why would raccoons come in here?

This is not full of food or anything like that.

No, they're probably just looking for shelter.

And they'll probably find it within these racks,

- between the drums. - Got you.

Well, why not just leave them?

It's not like they're gonna hurt anything.

You don't want to keep them in here.

They can pose some health hazards and

they can also be really destructive.

- There's our cage. - Oh, I spotted it.

Doesn't look like they wanted our food though.

What did they have to eat?

- Cat food. - Oh!

Might need something else too.

- Some weed. - Mm-hm.

Cheeseburgers, spaghetti.

Do you want to go check the other cage?

Right. We gotta catch us some trash panda.

Subs, beer, pizza.

Apparently raccoons have opposable thumbs.

They do. They're very dexterous with their hands

and they're very curious creatures.

Apparently so. Yo, we got one.

- We got one. - Oh man.

Oh, that thing is pretty bloody cute.

It's gonna have to be my friend. I'm gonna name it...

Ricky.

Don't name him. If you name it,

it's going to get personal and you're going to be

really sad when we release him.

We're going to reunite him with his family now.

He's my boy.

Well, you got to remember,

he's a wild animal, so we should get him

back out to be with his family.

I'm going to set you up, boy.

Moving on to greener pastures.

It's going to be a brand new life for you, Ricky.

You're alright, Ricky

I hear Europe's nice this time of year.

Ricky's not going to know that.

We're going to take Ricky to the back of the property.

We're only going to go one kilometre because

they don't want you transferring rabies.

This is a really good spot.

He can follow the creek upstream if he wants-

- Find his boys? - He can find his family.

- Make some moonshine. - If he really wanted to.

So, we'll let him out and...

let him go back to being with his family.

Gonna be a heartfelt goodbye.

I know.

No, Ricky, don't go!

It was a true inner connection

with that wild beast.

Go live in your beautiful home now, okay?

You gotta find your beautiful, sexy,

hot, trophy raccoon wife

and have beautiful little racoconlets.

And don't go back in there or this wildlife professional

is gonna like be there and put you in a cage.

Go! Live free, homie.

Good luck, Ricky!

That's it. Good job.

Be brave, you trash panda!

Little upset about Ricky.

We released him in a very good spot.

He's gonna thrive.

He's gonna live, and he's gonna love,

and he's gonna laugh.

Mission one: complete. Mission two: engage.

This house that we're going to now,

they have squirrels.

We put up a one-way door so the squirrels

could leave on their own.

There's a little trigger on the one-way door,

so when they leave, it flips the trigger...

so that when we go, we can see

if our door has been activated.

And if so, that means the squirrels have gotten out

and we can seal up that hole.

No more squirrel parties.

Nope.

Which kind of turns into sometimes orgies,

and then just baby squirrels everywhere.

Chewing all the wires.

You know, sometimes the party's got to end.

Alright, you want to go check for some squirrels?

Let's get these naughty little squirrels!

This is Operation Squirrel with Blue Collar.

Your safety equipment.

We got a possible squirrel situation in

an attic, and we need a definite evacuation

and a sealing of all entry points.

Left right left.

I'm just here to evict you and grab your nuts.

What do you see up there?

Trap's triggered.

That means our squirrel came out.

So, we'll go in the house

and double check there's no babies.

Are you checking out my juicy candy ass?

Definitely not.

And then we'll come back out and seal it up.

- Are you sure? - Come back down.

Let's see if you're scared of the dark.

Danny no likey darky.

This place is kind of creepy.

There's our attic access. Are you claustrophobic?

- I'm scared of everything. - Oh, no.

Dark spaces and small spaces and...

I got this.

I thought there was a squirrel.

Danny's scared.

Stay nice and calm. You've got this.

I come in peace...

even though I'm here to evict you.

So you're gonna be looking for like

little black droppings or...

maybe some footprints in the insulation, or tunnels.

You want some of these nuts, squirrel-ies?

Any baby squirrels?

Okay...

I think we're all good.

All right, let's go outside

and seal up the hole.

Mission accomplished.

Nice.

Oh.

Now that we know there's no squirrels in

the attic, we're going to take the one-way door off.

I'll have you come up on the ladder and give me a hand.

- Feel it up. - Yes, boss.

This is kind of dangerous.

So you're not only an animal expert,

you're actually pretty handy as well.

I do it all. A big part of this is...

getting the animals out humanely and safely,

but also coming up and doing the work to ensure

they can't go back inside.

Let's get this off and seal up the entry point.

Beautiful.

- Drop her down. - There you go.

Beautiful.

- Oh yeah. - Thank you.

You're becoming your own wildlife expert.

And they're one with my nuts.

- You're a comedian too. - Oh, something like that.

Who's doing the screwing?

Me.

We're all done here. That was it.

Keep those little party animal junkie bastards

out of there.

Dan's on his way to a bedbug call.

I don't think he'll get too attached there.

We love squirrels, but we want them

to remain outside. Not in our homes.

Yeah, but I love them. But they...

didn't love me, I guess.

Squirrels, we're breaking up.

We're almost there.

Okay.

Thanks for the ride, lady.

- Hello! - How you guys doing?

- Good. - How are you?

- Are you Jeff? - Yeah.

- And Brittany? - Yes.

Right on, I'm Daniel. I'm your new bitch.

You're my new- okay! Right on!

- Pleasure to meet you. - This is Hippo.

And that one's Chase, right there.

- Come here, you nice boy. - You can't pet him.

Oh, shit, sorry.

You can't touch these dogs.

It says right on the harness.

I was reading it upside down.

I thought it said "tep ton od".

He's here to work, not be pet.

I know, I'm here to work.

You can pet me if you like.

I don't know about you, Jeff.

That's okay. I've got no interest in you.

So, today, there's a potential that

there's an infestation of bedbugs,

so we brought two dogs just to make sure that

we can find them all in the home today.

I see.

And you'll be working one.

Oh, I'm working a dog?

All animals love me.

Holy fuck, easy!

- Yeah. - I knew that.

Takes a while to warm up.

It's okay.

How do they smell out bugs?

Dogs are faster than us,

they're more accurate than us.

If there's any alerts, they'll sit and point to it.

All these dogs are rescue dogs.

We take these highly food driven dogs

that just want to go to work...

and we repurpose that energy into finding bugs for us.

They don't get bowls of food in the morning or at night.

They have to earn their food.

Just like we earn a paycheck.

Better find some bugs or you're going hungry, dogs.

That's it, that's why he keeps beaking off.

He wants to get to work.

Fine, let's get to work.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Hippo and I are gonna check the second floor.

Dan, you're gonna take this little monster...

Got him.

And you're gonna walk him around.

Got it. Whoa, shit!

Come on, find it, boy, find it.

Find it! Holy shit!

Find the bugs. Hop up.

Find it, you wild beast. Good.

Sniffing, sniffing, sniffing! Holy shit!

Yes! Good boy.

Yes, find it, find it.

Oh, shit!

Yes, good boy.

Bedbugs like to hide on furniture,

close to their food source.

I want to see what's down there.

Keep going.

What the hell is that?

Hold on...

I know it. It's a brassiere.

Oh, I guess these bugs like jugs.

Guys, you're gonna want to come up here!

We found the motherload!

Let's go, Chase!

Brittany's got bugs!

Come look at this pillow.

It's infected.

What am I supposed to do?

Pick it up and take a look.

What the fuck do you mean, pick it up?

It's part of the job.

You gotta grow a pair and pick it up.

Just look at them, you can do it.

Turn your flashlight on. Put your flashlight on.

I'm checking. I'm fucking checking it.

Turn your flashlight on.

I think there's fucking bed bugs!

Fucking place is fucking infested.

Are they gonna fucking jump on me or what?

No, they're not gonna jump on you.

What are they attracted to?

Your carbon dioxide.

The warmth of your body heat.

Carbon dioxide?

So, just slow down your breathing...

Sh... Calm down.

If they're in here, where else could they be?

They're all over the place.

Listen, just let me get my power back.

Get your bearings.

I'm the exterminator.

Now what do we do?

We have to call in Andrew for a heat treatment.

A heat treatment?

The only way to kill bedbugs and the eggs

is to heat them.

We're gonna bring in heaters and heat

this house up to about 130 Fahrenheit.

It's not a fucking Thanksgiving turkey.

That's how we kill the bed bugs.

We have to cook them.

Chase, silence! Thank you.

Don't tell Andrew I was scared of anything.

I was doing that for pretend.

- Andrew! - Hey, Dan!

- How's it going? - What's going on, man?

There's an emergency.

We got bedbugs inside like crazy.

This house is pretty infested.

We gotta make sure that we do this really correctly, okay?

We're going to get the heaters upstairs

on that second floor.

You got it?

That 'a boy, Andrew!

Got a hose here for you.

We're only using one?

No, we're gonna be using three.

Oh!

We're gonna have fans,

at least three of these.

- Got 'er. - Alright.

Oh, yeah.

These are pretty heavy, hey, Andrew?

How many BTUs is this thing pumping out?

- What do you think? - I don't know, 3600?

- 600,000. - 600,000?!

Oh, that's gonna be a hot one.

Alright, these are going in here?

Yes, right into the manifold.

Blue goes to return. Red goes to supply.

- That's right. - Yes, sir.

Alright, let's turn up the heat.

Pack your bags, tiny bedbugs.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the bedroom.

Looks like its 135 degrees right now.

Where's, where's Dan?

Dan, are you up there?

Are you up there?

Dan?

Andrew! They're all fucking dead!

Nothing can live in that.

Gimme a- I just need-

I think the majority of

my brain cells have been cooked.

I've been on the hunt with the pest detectives,

and I have seen so much shit

that literally made my skin crawl.

Crazy thing is these people do it day in and day out.

One thing is for sure,

if you're outnumbered by critters...

These are the professionals you want on the case.

Now it's time for me to face the final boss, Andrew,

to see if I have what it takes

to become an Orkin man.

Hey, Judy.

Whoa.

Dan, we have some feedback for you.

I'm so nervous, I'm gonna fart

a little or something.

Did I hear you buried a rat?

His name was Ronnie.

In the future, we could skip the funeral.

Never seen a grown man cry

over releasing a raccoon.

I appreciate you wanting to bond with

our working dogs.

I think there is a dog out there that

would be the perfect match for you.

I think it might be a poodle with a mullet.

That would be legendary.

It'd cost a fortune in grooming, but...

we could find that for him.

I think given the right circumstances

and training, you could definitely be

part of the team.

Thank you.

Do we all agree that

he's ready for the initiation?

Oh yeah. He's ready.

What's going on, homie?

- Dan... - What have you done?

As part of the initiation,

we have some live, hungry bedbugs

that you need to feed.

What?

Are you guys fucking serious?

- Have you done it? - Yep, all of us.

- Are you ready? - Do it.

- Is this gonna hurt? - Excruciating.

Oh, Mommy. I got this.

Oh, shit!

Agh! Egh!

You think this is something?

I'll go one step up.

They might as well just suck on my-

Bedbugs!

Bedbugs!
