Pest Control Inside Your Home
00:00:14
Hi I’m Steve Durham with embark on termite and pest today we’re going to talk about different pests you have
00:00:20
around your home we’re going to start in the kitchen the kitchen is where there’s a lot of food that you bring in that you
00:00:27
clean up and small tiny pieces can fall off something that’s very small too you may feed a roach or an ant for a week or
00:00:35
more so this is where there’s a lot of food a lot of water and is very very attractant to ants and roaches we also
00:00:43
have stored products here and therefore stored product pests your grain mods your flour beetles and grain beetles
00:00:53
will certainly be in the pantry around your grain type items and then there’s silverfish in the kitchen let’s start
00:00:59
off talking about ants and roaches and what we can do around the sink to help prevent that now for insects around the
00:01:07
sink around the stove the main problem is there’s a lot of food so you’re going to get a lot of bugs coming around to
00:01:14
eat that food a residual spray with a good chemical is going to do a lot to help decrease that population as they
00:01:21
come into the area spraying under the sink up under the bottom of the sink and even around
00:01:28
outside around doors and windows will help protect some of those tiny little cracks and crevices where ants and
00:01:35
roaches will come in to feed we also use a lot of baits these baits are formulated to mimic or in some cases be
00:01:46
better than food that you may have left around these little syringes here is an easy application device it’s actually
00:01:53
just a pistol grip are great for treating around cracks and crevices doors and windows where ants and roaches
00:02:02
may come in this is a great product our industry has made it even better by putting it into an aerosol can so really
00:02:11
we’re getting some of the same bait formulations in this aerosol can it’s just a lot easier to apply I’m actually
00:02:18
applying small bits of it right now and you can see how easy that is these baits last a long
00:02:27
time and are very attractive dance and roaches depending on the formulation it was designed for
00:02:33
there’s also dry baits drive formulations of some of the same ingredients are excellent this is
00:02:42
actually a dry powder and it’s great for dusting into holes that you can’t see into or can’t get into it’s also great
00:02:50
for getting behind switches and electrical plates because this dust will go in there and it will give ants and
00:02:57
roaches someday for a long long time now we’re going to talk about some of the other insects we may see some of the
00:03:05
stored product pests the flour beetles the grain beetles that type of thing let’s move over to the pantry and take a
00:03:11
look in there okay let’s talk a little bit about stored product pests what are stored
00:03:17
product pests well they are pests that get into the products that are typically stored grains so your grain products are
00:03:26
going to be your cereals and your crackers even spaghetti we’ll take a look here we will often find flour
00:03:33
beetles Indian grain mugs Indian meal mods I’m sorry and different grain beetles in the pantry you bring them in
00:03:41
from the grocery store some of the grocery stores even some of the producers sometimes don’t control their
00:03:48
products well enough to keep all of the products out so what do we do for those a lot of times we will use again a spray
00:03:56
can to spray appropriate chemicals in and around the pantry normally all of these products all of your food will be
00:04:04
removed and we’ll get in there to try to control any of the larvae or eggs that happen to be not inside the product that
00:04:13
they’re currently eating on the most important thing is to go through these products especially your grain products
00:04:20
here is rice will find rice weevils another stored product pests in the rice so you want to pull them out you want to
00:04:27
do a good inspection of all of the products inside the bags to see if there’s any weevils or any types of
00:04:34
beetle or larvae feeding on that product if there are you discard this get it out of the house get it sealed into a trash
00:04:41
bag and get it out once you’ve identified the products that are affected and they’re gone yeah we’re
00:04:48
going to remove these products we’re going to do a good spray treatment inside for long control long lasting
00:04:55
control we can use pheromone traps these actually will attract the adult forms of the different insects this is simply a
00:05:02
sticky trap but the key ingredient are these pheromone tablets that give off scent that will attract the insects to
00:05:10
come into these traps and get stuck on the glue traps again embark on has access to the different types of
00:05:17
pheromone attractants that are needed for the different pests and by cleaning out the food that they’re eating on by
00:05:24
doing a good residual spray it’s an easy way for embark on to get in and take care of your problem really painless
00:05:32
effort on your part let’s talk now about some silver fish and then rats and mice that we also see in the kitchen areas ok
00:05:40
silverfish get into kitchens they get into your bathrooms they eat paper they like to eat paper and they’re also
00:05:47
normally found around moisture sources silverfish normally relatively straightforward to control again proper
00:05:56
spray insecticides will help along with silverfish baits these are relatively non-toxic to us to
00:06:06
you and your children and your pets so if a dog we’re having to get into this I would not be concerned about it we just
00:06:12
place these in the drawers close the drawers let the silverfish eat their way to silverfish heaven one of the final
00:06:22
things we’re going to talk about is rodents certainly in and around the kitchen again it’s where the food is
00:06:28
during the winter months especially it gets cold outside the rats the mice want to come in to get warm and guess what
00:06:35
bonus they found a food source so we certainly use the old standby wooden mousetraps and wooden rat traps
00:06:45
but they have built a better rat trap or a better mousetrap these are easier for us they do cost a
00:06:53
little more weed and bark I’m like to use these we will also use the old wooden traps
00:06:59
we have even special baits that we put in traps to attract the rats and the mice better then the old standby cheese
00:07:07
or peanut butter food particles get under the sink or around the sink behind the stove behind the refrigerator
00:07:15
these traps both mouse and rat traps are excellent at a one-time kill and then you know where the carcass is they’re
00:07:25
easy to remove and we that embark on do provide the carcass removal service as well so that kind of sums it up all the
00:07:34
different products or the different pests that we have in and around the kitchen we’re going to move outside and
00:07:41
look at some of the problems and some of the ways to stop pests from entering from the outside of the home let’s go
