Pest Control Truck

Pest Control Truck refers to a running gag, often represented by a Ford Econoline commercial van, featured during the opening sequence of every Bob's Burgers episode. Between the Grand Re-Opening, and the Grand Re-Re-Opening, truck pulls up in front of Bob's Burgers accompanied by numerous raccoons, squirrels, rats, and snakes. Similar to the Store Next Door, the truck features clever word play - often in the form of a pun - in the company name on the truck. After season one, a different company name and logo is shown on the side of the truck in every episode; the following is a list of these company names:

Upcoming episode 
==Trivia==
*Season 1 featured the same "Rat's all Folks! EXTERMINATORS" truck in every episode.
*Starting with the Season 3 premiere, Jimmy Pesto's reflection can be seen in the driver's side window of each truck as he looks on with a contemptuous grin from across the street.
*In Seasons 1 and 2 there were only mice running towards the restaurant. From Season 3 until The Runway Club a whole variety of different animals are seen, and from The Itty Bitty Ditty Committee onward the animals change in relation to the pest control company name.
*Starting with 3ASA production season episodes, all trucks have "exterminators" or "pest control" after the business name except for "Curiosity Killed the Rat" from "I Get Psy-chic Out of You," "Dale's Dead Bug" from "Aquaticism," "Once Mice Three Times an Exterminator" from "Easy Com-mercial, Easy Go-mercial", however, uses exterminator in place of 'lady' and doesn't have "pest control" or "exterminators" after the pun. Only a few 2ASA production season trucks contain the suffixes. All 1ASA trucks were "Rat's All, Folks Exterminators." Starting with AASA14 the suffixes were dropped and have only featured on two trucks since.
*Beginning in Season 3, standard fonts were adopted for the 'Exterminator' and 'Pest Control' suffixes. 'Exterminator' appeared using a font with lower case letters and a capital initial whereas 'Pest Control' appeared in a font with all capitals. Starting with episode 8ASA14, in production order, a new font for both suffixes appears with all letters capitalized.
*The truck appeared to be right-hand drive in production seasons 1-5 with the sliding door facing the road. Starting with the sixth production season (excluding 6ASA01), the door disappears making it appear more like a left-hand drive vehicle with no door on the driver's side with the door hidden from view on the passengers side but the handle is still visible in most episodes.
*The van can be identified as a fourth generation Ford E-Series, a very common fleet vehicle used across North America.
