MULTIPLE Collectors?

Just saw this movie, a lot better than I was expecting, and I'd become bored with SAW after the third movie.Anyhow, is it possible there are multiple Collectors?I thought it kind of weird that one Collector could have put in so many traps in such a short (?) space of time.Also maybe I missed something, but were a lot of the traps placed there AFTER Arkin entered the house?or was that the point?This could imply that there were more than one Collector (yeah, I know he was the SPOILER pest control guy early in the movie END SPOILER).Likewise, after the big explosion and the police, ambulances turned up, perhaps The Collector who overturned the ambulance was a second Collector (only watched the movie once so far on my mini dvd player, so can't remember if there were any distinguishing injuries; burns,etc, to show it was the same Collector as in the house).Finally, is there meant to be the implication that the pest control company is some kind of covert/sinister organization sending out multiple agents/Collectors to 'collect' people?Not that I expect any definite answers, that's what I liked about the first SAW movie (before all the sequels), it's more the questions that are intriguing.

I also considered this. When the Collector goes outside to face the police officer, and he is surrendering and drops his knife, I thought he was just baiting him out and a second Collector was going to get the jump on the cop from the side/back. I had completely forgotten about the dog.
