Erdye’s Pest Control
00:00:01
Hey everybody Josh Erdman Early’s pest control here if you tuned in to see me let go of some kind of animal or have
00:00:07
something jump out at me you picked the wrong video today we’re going to answer some
00:00:11
questions and the number one question I get from homeowners is what is the best product that they can buy to use
00:00:18
themselves they also want to know you know why is our service different so I’m going to explain it to you real quick as
00:00:24
simple as I can the best product that you guys can purchase out there in my opinion is called ortho home defense if
00:00:31
you look here I picked up a gallon yesterday you can get it in a home repair store hardware store they sell it
00:00:37
it’s about 15 dollars a gallon now one thing a couple things I want to mention is if you look right here it
00:00:43
says 12-month control they don’t make any chemicals that we can buy as licensed contractors that lasts twelve
00:00:50
months so that’s really just some false advertising to be honest with you doesn’t hold up well I’m not not going
00:00:57
to product that I recommend this product to a lot of customers in my opinion is the best one out there however it really
00:01:02
only has a life of about thirty days and that’s on a vertical surface so you need to spray basically the wall of the
00:01:09
building if you spray it on the ground or in the mulch beds what’s going to happen is the rains going to hit it and
00:01:14
wash it out for one it basically dilutes it and to the sunlight it’s going to burn it out if it’s in direct Sun so
00:01:19
it’ll probably last a lot less I mean we’re talking a couple days some other stuff they don’t tell you unless you
00:01:26
read the real fine print or the instructions which probably nobody does is this chemical will break down very
00:01:31
rapidly under 55 degrees so why is that important well if you’re like me and you live in Wisconsin and I’m hoping
00:01:39
everyone that’s watching this is probably from Wisconsin because it doesn’t do me any good if you live in
00:01:43
Bangladesh but if you go ahead and install this stuff early in the spring you want to get it down before the
00:01:49
insects get on there we all know if you’re from Wisconsin it’s 75 80 degrees during the day in the sunlight and it’s
00:01:56
25 degrees at night we have some of the craziest weather strings up here which I personally enjoy myself
00:02:02
that’s probably why a lot of us live here however if you put it on early and it gets cold under 55 degrees it breaks
00:02:08
down very very quickly I’m talking overnight one two days chemicals done we’re going to talk about the applica
00:02:14
Asian method of this you read the instructions which are on the back of this thing they peel off here there’s a
00:02:21
bunch of instructions in there is to how they want it applied stuff to do in case of an emergency stuff like that
00:02:28
basically what it tells you to do is you’re going to spray about two feet up and about two feet out now and what that
00:02:36
is going to do is create a barrier so anything out here crawling around and and what looks like my woods I will not
00:02:43
be able to get onto the onto the building or up high under the building inside the building which is what you’re
00:02:48
trying to altum Utley you know keep from happening we’re going to wrap up this segment on ortho home defense and you
00:02:55
know what’s different from you guys doing it you do it yourselfers versus us the big difference with the way we do it
00:03:01
we’re always going to spray when the temperature is consistent in the spring we wait even if it’s an extra week we
00:03:06
take the time to wait I’m not going to spray a house and have you guys have bad results so we’ll wait till the
00:03:12
temperature is correct to spray it first of all secondly when we apply instead of following ortho sting or their two feet
00:03:17
up and two feet out what we do is we spray the entire house so everything down in the bottom here all the way up
00:03:24
we don’t spray on the windows and we catch all your soffit so everything underneath there is dead obviously if
00:03:29
you spray and you spray the the base the two feet up and two feet out you’re going to still continue to get this
00:03:35
stuff and it’ll just never go away it’ll just slowly get worse and worse until your power wash it off and you know have
00:03:42
us come out and do it so now that’s one of the big differences if you’ve got questions concerns please feel free to
00:03:48
give us a call nine to zero four five five zero three seven three check us out online

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

Best Pest Control Tips

00:00:02
Hi I’m Ken this is Walt together we’ve got about 70 years experience in the pest control business and we’re going to
00:00:08
talk to you a little bit about general pest control we had a lot of calls people are looking for something that
00:00:14
they just want to kill bugs and generally don’t have any specific problem they may have a few cockroaches
00:00:19
and they have a few spiders they may have silverfish we can deal with these things with a general pest control kit
00:00:26
talked a little bit about what’s in the kit that is so long I always like to start with the liquids that can be used
00:00:31
both of these products can be used inside or outside we generally we use a pump up sprayer most most homeowners
00:00:40
have a sprayer such as this pest control operators and also you can purchase up a real professional sprayer as well a
00:00:50
little expensive but it’ll last a lifetime I always tell people that when you pass your your children will fight
00:00:57
over this one because it’ll still it’ll still be around all over yeah that that would be the liquid this happens to be
00:01:04
something like what’s 20 to 40 gallons yep 10 to 20 gallons these are concentrates you know you’re really not
00:01:11
gonna find this in stores you’re gonna find this in the back of a pest control operators truck something I always like
00:01:18
to have an aerosol an aerosol is fantastic because gosh what if you say something and someone yells at you
00:01:27
there’s a log on my room there’s one of your kids you really want to go mix up yeah that’s right but but you have an
00:01:37
air or someone that you know something here is ready to go yeah you can just hit them like that this happens to be a
00:01:43
bait and you know baits are great especially we get a lot of certain insects
00:01:49
maybe silverfish the big American wrench comes up in the attic that’s a good place for their attic so
00:01:55
sometimes people have an IV that on there and also I always forget one of the things of course forget to tell
00:02:04
people when they’re spraying outside for insects cut those frogs back yeah they don’t need to be touching the side of
00:02:10
the house is if you put a little barrier around you know around the house and you know
00:02:15
and then sex go right up there and they we have enough trouble a lot of comply they are hopping right over the barrier
00:02:24
if you have branches touching the house or anything like what’s occasional pass that we really say and that it could be
00:02:32
different times of the year to that you can see this look at times a year where millipedes are a huge problem we can
00:02:37
deal with those with this kit how about carpenter bees carving is always in the spring or have problems with those oh
00:02:44
definitely can use these products for that Virginia what do they have up there oh there’s a ton of ladybugs and stink
00:02:56
bugs oh yeah that’s gonna do a great job and we got other things too I mean sometimes I this great product would be
00:03:07
spraying for outside for the ladybugs sometimes I like to have an aerosol for inside use and you can use a hat or
00:03:13
something with pyrethrin in there but other than that we this is just something to have in your cabinets to go
00:03:23
to and know it’s labeled for ants but there’s a maybe it’s not something they want to do yeah well I mean it can
00:03:31
handle a minor ant problem and there may be something more specific France that you want to do if you’ve got a
00:03:35
full-blown to get problem and we have videos on the ants too young but you can see what we suggest on ants life as well
00:03:43
I mean this is not I mean that this stuff is labeled for bedbugs on this but it’s not necessary what we’re gonna
00:03:50
suggest for bed right it’s not also German Russian we don’t want to use the nests but those are better products for
00:03:57
that check our video on that German raj a lot of people ask – how do i know when i need to spray well I mean the the
00:04:04
funny answer is when you start seeing bugs or when your wife tells you to yeah the little blue traps that we’ve got a
00:04:11
good thing to place these blue traps around about that yeah there are a good little monitoring tool you put them
00:04:16
under the sink behind some furniture if you find a bug in there you know you need to do something it’s time to get
00:04:21

Pest Control Tips

00:00:17
Hi my name is Kevin Chisholm I am a licensed professional mice control exterminator I’ve been in the pest
00:00:24
control business for over 30 years my company name is maritime pest control and we work out of Edmonton Alberta with
00:00:31
winter coming on now mice are looking for a nice warm place to go so here’s a perfect entry points a garage door they
00:00:38
can get in there we’re nice and warm and they’ll make their home for the winter months
00:00:41
okay here are some mice droppings we have we have about proximately 20 different breeds of Mike’s I think at
00:00:49
this in Edmonton the most common one is the deer mice and and they’re known to give off that disease called hantavirus
00:00:54
so so like when you’re cleaning this up you should use a 50/50 bleach mixture with water that’s the dust product
00:01:02
because this can’t get in your nose and your system and ducting can eventually kill you so this is a rebar going into a
00:01:07
house there is a hole here it’s just very close to might be possibly even seeking they’re smaller in this case but
00:01:15
you can see great treat at home and it’s in the house then your problem start sick so I would lock that up either with
00:01:22
steel wool or silicone mice mice use a firm own trail lock when they win they’re always Ramon so even two years
00:01:31
later that smell will still be there and a new mice can command and go in the same hole they just smell a scent and
00:01:38
they know they think there’s someone another mice in there so they will go in the same hole so these holes should be
00:01:44
fixed this is a poison here we use and we put it in this childproof bait box okay we lock it up I’m gonna crush the
00:01:53
key is the key that opens it now they go in this little hole here and they in their whiskers will find the black box
00:01:58
and mice are very curious old dope they’re always eating like the beaver so they will find that most wasn’t very
00:02:04
easy eat it and then go back their nests and die this is another perfect entry point for a mice ok they can squeeze in
00:02:10
besides the whole of a dime size of a dime so you know so what Harris after I usually offer the mic sir
00:02:16
dad I like doing just putting steel wool in here so I will show you and walk in their whole life
00:02:23
so they cannot get in and they can’t bite true they cannot bite through the steel wall so works really well so the
00:02:32
mice problem is usually gets worse than the wintertime mice want to come in the in the home say last year was the worst
00:02:38
I’ve ever experienced in my 30 years of doing this this year is we had the storm one storm already and but lots of calls
00:02:45
that one week it was just incredibly high they like to come inside when it’s cold of course so that’s when we get

How To Kill Sugar Ants

How To Kill Sugar Ants

https://youtu.be/jtJH9CqRB3c00:00:00

We get a lot of questions on how to kill sugar ants well a lot of people don’t know what type of ant they are so
00:00:08
because they see them around their sweets and things inside the home they refer to them as sugar ants the very
00:00:14
first thing we need to do in controlling any ant species is knowing what type of ant it is but sugar ants a lot of people
00:00:22
may refer to those like I say as a sugar ant but there really could be a ghost ant or a pharaoh aunt or an acrobat in
00:00:28
and all these different types of ants may live inside the home but if you do have these type of ants you have to be
00:00:34
careful because if you feed a sugar ant a bait or a pesticide that is a something that will kill it very quickly
00:00:43
what you’re going to do is you’re going to break up the colony inside the home and that’s something we don’t want to do
00:00:48
we would rather use a what we call a slow-acting bait that will that the colony can eat and distribute amongst
00:00:55
the county and kill the entire county we have a product here called EDM is put out by dupont and it comes in
00:01:01
a little syringe and basically it’s what you do with it is it’s got a little adapter on the end and what you do is
00:01:09
you open up a drawer or a glide inside of the kitchen and you can apply just little dab just a little dot all the way
00:01:17
around the outside of the cabinet and when the ants find this product inside there they will feed on it and then take
00:01:23
that back to the county what’s important about that is when it takes it back to the colony the other ants will actually
00:01:29
come in contact with different ants and they will feed each other this product and then the whole colony will die a lot
00:01:36
of our fast-acting insecticides that people use inside the house kill off certain areas of the colony which enable
00:01:43
the colony to what we call bud or to distribute themselves throughout the home whereas one day you may only have
00:01:49
one little ant colony on one side of the house the next time you’re going to have two or three and colonies throughout the
00:01:54
home so first identify the type of ant that you have and then put the proper type of insecticide down or anta bait
00:02:04
down to kill the entire colony another product that we like to use in conjunction with this adviye
00:02:11
is called Delta dust this is a product here that’s also very very effective when used inside the
00:02:18
walls or voids of the home and this can be applied directly out of the bottle right behind the receptacle outlets what
00:02:25
we do is wherever the switch plates are inside the wall we have like a switch plate here right behind our microscope
00:02:31
we would take the switch plate off the wall we could take this little tip off and this has a nice pointed tip on the
00:02:37
end and you poke a little hole in it and then you just put it right alongside the thing and just squeeze the bottle a
00:02:42
couple of times and that’s all you do you put the receptacle all but right back on and the ants will go away these
00:02:49
are two great products that you should try or if you don’t want to do it yourself call on a professional – number
00:02:55
one identify the type of ant and the to treat it correctly I’m mark Govan with ABC pest control

Brilliant Pest Control Tips You Should Know About

By Vincent Hoss

Seeing the initial signs of indoor pests can be worrisome. In a short time, many different pests can begin to take over your home. Even if you watch your door and clean your home, you can still be susceptible to pests. This article has many common pest control tips.

You should vacuum your rugs and carpets at least once a week. This gets rid of the ants and some bugs that get in your living room rugs. Make sure to throw the bag away when complete.

Look into local regulations or ordinances when deciding on methods and chemicals to consider using for pest control. Spraying banned chemicals may backfire if you sell your house later on. It’s rare for that to happen, but it should prompt you to use safe and legal methods.

If you have a brown recluse spider issue, try catching them using sticky traps. These poisonous spiders hide in deep recesses that are difficult to reach with chemicals. When night falls, these spiders look for food. Place the traps along your home’s walls and in behind your furniture.

Have you recently gotten rid of a bedbug infestation? If so, then do not assume your problem is gone. Bedbugs can lay in wait for an entire year without eating. So be sure to close any holes in the floors and walls. You will prevent them from hiding in there.

It is crucial that you fix any broken screens in your home if your issue is with flying insects. These screens can help stop bugs from entering your home. Repair any holes to prevent unwanted house guests.

Bedbugs have a habit of hiding in tiny places, which makes them hard to eliminate. All holes should be sealed before beginning any type of extermination. By doing so, you can stop bedbugs from emerging from such places after the exterminator has left.

Check your place for standing water that’s hidden. Pests will gravitate towards standing water like nothing else. Make sure to check your entire home for leaky pipes and make sure to clean the water trays under the house plants. Pests need water to survive, so eliminate this, and pests will find your home far less hospitable.

It is time to fix those leaky faucets and pipes. Pests of all kinds need water to live and thrive. You would be surprised how far away they can be yet they know of your water drip. Don’t cause your own pest invasion. Try to save yourself some trouble ahead of time.

Seal off any cracks or crevices pests can use as an entryway into your home. A lot of the time these places are seen as an entrance to pests that are looking for a new place to live. By sealing up openings, you can prevent pests from having the ability to come in.

Many people having difficulties can start solving their problems by taking one little piece of advice. Consult a professional at your local Lowe’s or other home improvement store. They can tell you which pesticides work best given your situation.

Do you have rodents? Search for small cracks that these small pests can squeeze through. Fill those cracks using scouring pads or by placing poison inside them. Mustard oil or other odor-rich repellants can often be useful.

Are you the owner of a camper or travel trailer? If so, this is a prime target for rodents. Use natural repellents to help avoid this occurrence during the colder months. Some of these repellents have a nice smell. They are not poisonous at all. They do keep mice from entering your camper, though.

Try using plastic storage for storing dry foods. Many dry products come in boxes and bags, which is easy access for pests. After you return home from shopping, be sure to transfer dry food product into airtight containers. Not only will this keep pests out, but it’ll help you make sure your foods stay fresh longer.

The lights that you use on the exterior of your home are attracting pests. Put the lights a bit further from your house. You can also reduce the chances of these bugs getting in your home by using yellow or orange lights that bugs are not attracted to as much.

If you’re battling a rat or mouse issue, remember that they eat nearly everything. Peanut butter, cheese, savory foods, cheese and more are all great for traps. Using spoiled food is also effective, and that way, you at least get some use out of it.

Keep all food stored away securely to avoid cockroach problems. All open containers need to be sealed in Tupperware of a zip-top bag. Cockroaches are scavengers and are attracted to any and all food left out. Keep all baking supplies, like flour and sugar, in sealed containers as well.

Get rid of clutter, and the bugs. Your home has many places that are utilized as a catch-all, such as tables, bookshelves, counters, etc. Invest some time in reducing the clutter in your home to eliminate places where rodents and bugs like to nest.

Pay attention to the wood rings in your home if you suspect termite damage.
