GROSS, indeed....

Gross Negligence/Willful and Wanton Misconduct

Courts in most states hold that a waiver intended to protect a provider from liability for gross negligence, reckless misconduct, or willful and wanton misconduct violates the public policy of the state. Some define ordinary negligence as the failure to act as a reasonably prudent person would act under the circumstances. Most states distinguish between ordinary negligence and gross negligence and define gross negligence as an extreme form of negligence in which one fails to use the care that even a careless person would use. Reckless misconduct is usually considered to involve more extreme conduct than gross negligence, while willful and wanton misconduct is generally regarded as the most extreme form of negligence.

Wouldn't RODENT CONTROL be a public policy of the state?
