Do It Yourself Pest Control
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
