Welcomes for Heat's James, Bosh, Wade pouring in: free pest control


A New York strip club offered LeBron James a lifetime of free lap dances if he played for the New York Knicks. But Truly Nolen knows while South Florida may offer paradise (and lap dances and no state income tax free), it does have its insects.

That’s why the company is offering five years of free pest control to James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. Because, well, you know, that thing about defense. That’d be free service through July 8, 2015.

“Like these three superstar players, our company believes the best offense is the best defense,” Michelle Senner, Truly Nolen’s director of marketing and philanthropy said in a statement. “Whether LeBron or Chris block shots or Dwyane steals the ball, they remind us of our tenacious technicians.”

It was one of the company’s technicians who suggested they offer the service since, well, the players have plenty to pay attention to on the court.

Meanwhile, Miami-Dade County Commissioners, who renamed their county “Miami-Wade County” from July 1-7 for the first week of free agency, voted Thursday to keep the Wade name at least until Wade signs his new contract.
