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

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

00:02:32
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

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 Get Rid Of Cockroaches

00:00:00
Hey Mike Withrow of pest control here and are you looking for an effective way to get rid of cockroaches well today’s
00:00:06
video i’m going to go through a couple different quick pest control tips you can use to reduce cockroach numbers and
00:00:12
get rid of cockroaches in your home so one thing that’s pretty gross right we don’t like cockroaches we don’t want
00:00:22
them in our home our apartments so whether you’re a homeowner a business owner or a landlord or a tenant these
00:00:29
are things that you don’t want right you don’t want to have cockroaches crawling all over your home so a couple different
00:00:35
things you can do to really reduce their numbers the first thing that really keep in mind is that they’re gonna feed off
00:00:41
different things like food sources like crumbs or oils or grease that you maybe leave on counters or your stovetop or
00:00:49
again underneath appliances in between appliances so those are one thing that you should really focus on cleaning and
00:00:56
make sure that you have that clean environment also make sure garbages are covered because again the more there’s
00:01:03
easy access to food sources the more likely cockroaches are going to come around again there’s really three things
00:01:10
that cockroaches require to stay alive and breathe and multiply in your home that’s having an adequate food source an
00:01:18
adequate water source or an adequate shelter so it means all of those is survive now again eliminating those food
00:01:26
sources by properly sealing food that you have stored in cupboards or cabinets and then also cleaning up after spills
00:01:33
and messes and different crumbs you might have leaving laying around in your apartment or home or business is a great
00:01:40
way to reduce cockroach numbers now from there you want to eliminate different water sources now a leaky faucet might
00:01:48
not sound like a big deal or something that you could leave unchecked for a while but in reality leaky faucets and
00:01:56
pipes are one main water source for cockroaches so that’s typically where they’re gonna hide out is in dark spaces
00:02:03
underneath appliances underneath sinks so they’re often found in like kitchens and bathrooms where there might be leaky
00:02:11
faucets or toilets or access to sources now again like I said it doesn’t need to be a huge water source but
00:02:18
something as simple as a leaky faucet could start to attract pests like cockroaches so make sure if you’re a
00:02:24
homeowner business owner or landlord to seal up any leaks in your pipes in your faucets in those areas because again
00:02:33
that water source can attract pests like cockroaches now another interesting thing that you might not know about
00:02:40
cockroaches is that they’re prehistoric creatures they’ve been around for thousands of years and have really
00:02:46
adapted to the environment that they used to live in a long time ago so they usually live in temperatures that are
00:02:52
well over 75 degrees so the warmer it is the more humid the hotter it is the better they thrive and live and tend to
00:03:01
reproduce now cockroaches really reproduce very quickly so you want to make sure that they don’t have an ideal
00:03:08
environment in your home or business or apartment so a couple things you can do to reduce those numbers one is going to
00:03:15
be to thoroughly lower the temperature in your home so like I said it varies from species to species of cockroach but
00:03:23
generally it needs to be above 70 or 75 degrees even for them to survive and thrive so if you lower the temperature
00:03:32
in your home in apartments to under about 70 degrees doesn’t mean you’re gonna completely eliminate all
00:03:38
cockroaches but you can certainly slow down their breathing and help reduce their numbers again if you’re following
00:03:45
the other tips you know cleaning your home and eliminating water sources it can go a long way to prevent cockroach
00:03:52
issues so it could be a simple way if you have them in your apartment or then you think that they might be in your
00:03:58
complex as a landlord or again a home or business owner is reducing the temperature in your home now
00:04:05
cockroaches actually die very quickly the colder it gets so one strategy that’s kind of interesting you’re unique
00:04:11
that you can use it’s actually freezing them out so sometimes cockroaches can get in different appliances different
00:04:19
things that you use a lot and depending on their size and unique strategy you can do is actually sealing them in a
00:04:25
plastic bag and then putting them out in that freezing environment for a few days time so if you’re in the cold areas
00:04:33
of the world like Minnesota in the winter for example you could actually bag up like a toaster or microwave or
00:04:39
something along those lines that could be infested with those cockroaches and seal that up and then put that outside
00:04:46
in the sub-zero temperatures for a few days and then that can actually kill off the different roaches or pest
00:04:54
infestation that are inside of it now again before you bring those back into your home obviously thoroughly clean
00:05:00
them make sure that they’re passed free but that could be a unique way to help get rid of those pests so depending on
00:05:06
the size of the appliance or where they’re infesting you could even do that with smaller things like toasters or
00:05:11
whatnot during the summer months and store them in a freezer for example so again the lower the temperature is the
00:05:18
more can slow down those pest issues and help keep roaches out so implement that as part of a strategy you can use to
00:05:26
reduce numbers of pests and again obviously cockroaches in this example so that’s cleaning your home thoroughly you
00:05:33
know cleaning up messes spills crumbs oils grease stains different things like that and then as well as reducing
00:05:40
temperature and then eliminating water sources for them so fixing leaky pipes and whatnot other areas where they have
00:05:47
access to standing water so when you do those it can go a long way to reduce pest issues helping get rid of
00:05:53
cockroaches and kill them off but again we really recommend if you do have an infestation or an issue to reach out to
00:06:01
a pest control service as these are very Hardy passed and they like to survive right so it goes a long way to actually
00:06:08
reach out to a pest control service and have them treat for these to fully eliminate those problems in your home

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

Pest Control Ideas You Can Try Yourself

By

Are you equipped with any amount of pest control knowledge? When it comes to this topic, there is a lot that has to be learned. The below article will provide some knowledge on how to handle pests yourself. Use the tips that work best for your situation. There is no better time to deal with a pest issue than now.

Do you see fruit flies returning after ridding your home of them? You may have a problem with your drain. Put some plastic over the drain to see. If they do, pour some boiling water down your drain and give it a good scrub. This should rid your drains of fruit flies.

Food that is being stored must be sealed well. Food scents attracts many different kinds of insects. Take the trash out when it’s full. Trash is yet another source of alluring smells for the pests and should be avoided at all costs.

When considering new trees for your yard, pay attention to where you place them, keeping them away from your house. That’s because the rodents can easily climb and come into your home through your roof or attic. Put the trees around 15 feet from the house.

Make sure mosquitoes have no place to hang out in your home. Drain kiddie pools and buckets that are sitting on your property. Stagnant water is the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Drains are a common place in which pests can be found. Be sure you clean and check them every month, either by using a snake or liquid drain cleaner. Pipes accumulate mold and other growth that pests are attracted to.

If you have mouse holes, put a piece of steel wool into the hole. Mice will attempt to eat through this steel wool, which will kill them. Use spackle to plug the rodent holes.

If you wish to permanently eliminate a pest in your home, you need to learn all you can about it. Learn the life cycle and the feeding habits of this pest. Whenever you possess knowledge about a pest, it is easier to make a plan on how to get rid of it.

To ensure that pests do not come near your food, you must properly store your food items. Glass and plastic containers with air-tight lids are ideal. Do not use boxes or paper bags, bugs can get in them.

If you recycle, that might be something pests find attractive. Recycling is generally stored outdoors. If you can’t, rinse each item you put in the indoor trash can. The best chance you have at avoiding pests when you throw your garbage out is to buy recycling containers that are sealed.

If cockroaches have presented a problem, make sure all food is sealed. A paperclip will not solve the issue, as cockroaches will still be attracted to the smell. Cockroaches are attracted to any food and they will eat it. Anything that you use for baking, such as sugar and flour, should always be kept in containers that are well sealed.

If you use pesticides, make sure you do it according to directions. Don’t use more than what the directions say to use. In many cases, using a larger amount will pose heath risks to those in the area.

Organize your garden so bushes and flowers are a couple feet away from the walls of your home. If you can, use tiles around your home’s perimeter to keep rodents and insects at bay. If you have no concerns about flying insects, you can open your windows whenever you like.

If you have pets in your home, keep tabs on any professional level baits for mice. This is important, as you can’t let your dogs get near these traps. Pets can become extremely ill or even die from the bait used in these stations.

So, get started on your pest problem today. It is not going to go away on its own. You need to eliminate the pest as soon as possible. It will be easier to achieve this goal if you use the right methods. Use the information provided here to create an effective pest control plan today.

Important Pest Control Advice You Need To Hear

By

Not every pest control method works every time. You need to learn about a variety of methods for controlling infestations. This article will set you on the right path when dealing with this issue. Read these tips about pest control.

Spraying bees, wasps, and hornets with hairspray can be a good way to kill them. There are chemicals in hairspray that kill insects immediately, but the perfume in the product also keeps other insects away.

Begin at the beginning. If pests have emerged, determine how they are getting food. It is likely that pests are coming into your home due to food, water, or enough shelter. Make sure you search for food scraps lying around, any water leaks in your plumbing, and openings in your home.

If you have a issue with spiders, such as the brown recluse, use some traps. These harmful spiders spend their time in hard to reach areas that are not easily accessible for chemicals. They usually look for food at night. To enhance your chances of catching them, places traps behind your furniture and close to the walls.

You should fix screens around the house if you have flying insects. Not only do the windows and screens keep out pests that fly, they can also keep the ones that crawl away as well. If you find holes in the screens, make repairs to keep the bugs out.

Bedbugs are difficult to eradicate because they hide in places that you cannot see. Close up open holes you may find prior to extermination. This will not only trap the bed bugs from escaping back into your bed, it will also prevent them from hiding there in the future.

Is your home infested with ants? Use borax and sugar to terminate them. While the smell of sugar will attract them, the borax will kill them. Mix a cup of sugar and a cup of borax in a quart jar. Sprinkle the mixture around your home.

Get rid of the standing water around your home. This can attract many pests, including mosquitoes. Look around for any leaky pipes. Also, look for any plants that have standing water around the trays. Most pests require standing water to survive; therefore, it is important to remove any standing water.

If you have crevices and cracks located in your home, make sure that you seal them off as soon as you can. Pests can get into your home through these cracks. Sealing these things up gives them no place to hide.

Fleas are stubborn and it can be hard to make them disappear, but luckily there are ways to rid your home of them. The first thing to do is to thoroughly vacuum everyday, than spray the area with a good flea spray. Keep in mind that your vacuum bag should be disposed of immediately upon finishing vacuuming.

Does your home’s location contain lots of mice and rats? If so and you are considering planting a few trees, then you should ensure you don’t plant them neary our home. Rodents can climb up them and go into your house by way of the attic. Place them at least 15 feet away from your home.

Mint helps you battle against a mice problem. Mint around your foundation of the house will help, and it’s a perennial. Mice will not want to live anywhere near it. Sprinkle mint around to deter rodents. Mice are repelled by mint, but make sure that you use fresh leaves.

The main living spaces in your home may look fine, but check every inch of your home for pests every once in a while. If your home has a basement, termites may be operating in secret. Therefore, make sure that your basements and other small areas of your home are check out regularly.

Electronic pest repellents are very efficient products. These tiny devices plug into room outlets where they emit a sound that chases rodents away. You might be able to hear these repellents, but they are not dangerous for humans and pets. Rodents do not like the noise and will not stay in the same area.

If there are pets in your household, don’t put out rat and mouse poison. Your animal friend may accidentally take in some of the poison as well. You don’t want to have these types of traps when children are around either. Children can easily confuse the pellet shaped poisons as candy.

Try using some storage bins when sealing up food. Most dry foods come in bags or boxes, which means pests can get through easily. Put dry goods inside tight, sealed bins after you shop. Making use of plastic storage bins can keep out the pests and extend the shelf life of food.

Try using hairspray to kill any flying insects. Hairspray is totally safe for humans, but deadly for insects. Hairspray will stick to them so that they can’t reach water or food. This works well on bees, especially when you don’t want to approach them.

To keep pests out of your edibles, store them properly. It is best to put any foods that have been opened into containers that seal closed very tightly. Do not store your food items in cardboard boxes because pests can easily enter into these.

Find your pests’ point of egress! Perhaps there is a little gap in the window that allows spiders to enter. Maybe your pet is carrying insects in from the outside. Determining the source of the problem allows you to eliminate it.

It’s important to understand that rats and mice are not picky eaters. Peanut butter, cheese, savory foods, cheese and more are all great for traps. You can use spoiled food to catch mice and dispose of your bad leftovers!

Now that you’ve come to the end of this article, you should be better prepared to tackle your pest problem. Apply what you’ve learned and you won’t have a problem anymore. You will feel much better once the pest is gone.

Pest Control Strategies That Really Work Great

By

Don’t you hate it when you see a mouse or a rat running around your house? Are you using a monthly pest control service that is not being effective? Pest control services can be quite expensive. Keep reading to see how to do it yourself.

Are you having recurring problems with fruit flies, even after you have eliminated them? You may be breeding them right in your home. Tape some plastic over it for several days to see if any fruit flies appear. If the fruit flies return, boil some water and pour it down the drain, then scrub the drain thoroughly. This should eradicate the fruit fly problem.

Learn the local ordinances and building codes to see what special treatments you have access to so that you can control your pests. If you unknowingly use a pesticide that contains banned chemicals, there could be consequences later if you try to sell your house. It is important to research what you can and cannot do regarding pest control.

A perimeter spray will discourage pests from getting too close to your home. Spray around windows and doors, porches and steps and your foundation. Look for cracks and small holes through which pests could enter your home. Use a filler such as caulk to seal the area.

Crevices and cracks inside your home are perfect places for bugs. Frequently, these openings provide an entry for pests to enter your house. Getting them sealed will block pests from getting inside.

Pests love to hide inside of the drains in your home. Be sure you clean and check them every month, either by using a snake or liquid drain cleaner. Humidity and debris can cause mold to grow, and this environment is perfect for pests.

Look for cracks in your home’s foundation and walls. It is natural for fissures and cracks to form in your home’s foundational structure. Those cracks serve as entry points for all sorts of pests. Also, check your ceiling. The small cracks they form are usable by pests.

Recycling can attract pest. You need to keep your recycling outside if you can. If you can’t, rinse each item you put in the indoor trash can. Recycling containers that are sealed are the best way to keep pests from being attracted to your trash.
