Does your home have brown recluse spiders? If so, trap them with sticky traps.

They tend to appear at night, looking for food. You can catch them with traps strategically placed behind furnishings and along the walls. Start from where the starting line is. That means getting rid of what attracted the pests in the first place. Pests are probably attracted to your home because there is a source of water, available food, and adequate shelter.

TIP! If you are having problems with flying insects in your home, then you need to fix your home’s screens. These screens can help stop bugs from entering your home. Clear away brush from the perimeter of your home. Insects like to live in bushes. By placing the brush within close proximity of the home, you run the risk of these insects invading through windows or doors.

Don’t plant trees near your home if you have rat problems. Rodents can easily climb trees and get into the house through attics and roofs. Plant the trees at least 15 feet away from the house.

When battling mice near your home, try mint. Plant some mint around your home. Mice will not feel that your location is desirable. If mice are already a problem, think about placing mint leaves where you’re finding them. This can repel the mice if the mint is fresh.

Check your home for hidden standing water. Pests love standing water because it is a drinking source and also a breeding ground for certain insects. Be sure to look for any pipes that are leaking. Also, be sure to clean out the trays underneath plants. Pests rely on water for survival so make sure to get rid of any water sources you can think of.

TIP! Make sure you seal off any cracks and crevices around your home. Unwanted visitors looking for a way into your comfortable home take advantage of these small entryways.

If trees fall in the yard, clear the debris promptly. You can make good use of the branches as well as the trunk by turning them into wood for your fireplace. If you do not have a use for it, you can sell it or give it to someone. However, remember to deal with the stump too. Termites love stumps.

Fleas can be tough to eliminate, but there are ways to approach them. First, vacuum your house very well. Once you have done this, use a good quality flea spray. Also, throw away the bag when you are finished vacuuming to rid them for good.

TIP! For those who have pest problems, you may be close to getting rid of the issue. Try using the home improvement store as a resource and speak with the workers there.

You may be concerned about rodents entering your house. You must inspect your home for tiny cracks that animals can squeeze through. Put scouring pads inside the holes, or add some poison.

Nothing disrupts a peaceful home environment like a pest infestation. There are many different pests that can invade your home. Pests can be rodents, ants, roaches, or flies. Some, such as termites, can cause damage to your house. The following are a few ideas for eliminating such pests.

Use steel wool to prevent rodents from entering your home through holes in the wall. Even though mice and rats can chew through a number of materials, these fine strands of metal are too tough for their teeth. Openings measuring more than 1/2 an inch need stuffing. Mice can easily squeeze in the tiniest cracks.

Are you getting fruit flies even after you’ve eliminated them? You might have a drain issue. Tape a piece of plastic wrap over drains for a couple of days, and see if these pesky little flies pop up. If so, put some boiling water in your drain and scrub it well. This should keep away fruit flies and stop them from breeding in that area.

TIP! Begin where it started. Your first step is to eliminate the pest’s food source.

One thing that will eradicate the pests is to vacuum thoroughly. Any stray insects will be sucked up in the vacuum. When you are done, toss the vacuum bag in the outdoor trashcan.

Hairspray can be used to kill bees and other stinging insects. Hairsprays contain chemicals that can quickly kill a variety of pests, and the scents help to keep future pests away.

Keep all of your foods tightly sealed in a container. All forms of insects and pests are drawn in by the smell that most foods give away.

Pests also like the smell of trash.

Learn the local ordinances and building codes to see what special treatments you have access to so that you can control your pests.

Be sure to look into any type of chemical you are planning on using to make certain it’s allowed in your community, city, and state.

TIP! Sticky traps are useful for catching brown recluse spiders. Brown recluses can be very difficult to get to due to where they reside.

Is your home swarming with ants? A simple combination of borax and sugar will eradicate them. While they are attracted to the sugar, they will be killed by the borax. Just mix a single cup of sugar and one of borax. Make some holes in the jar so you can sprinkle the mixture where you have seen the pest.

Keep all yard waste at least one foot away from your home. Brush is a natural home to many insects and there is no way to prevent this. If bushes are near your windows or any other point of entrance, bugs will come off the bushes into your house. If your home has any cracks, then you should ensure that you immediately seal them. These cracks are a gateway for pests into your home. Eliminating the crevice can create a barrier between your home and the pests.

Want to know whether or not termites are in your home? Have a trained dog locate them. Don’t rely on another human being. An actual human inspector is only capable of verifying the safety of about one-third of the home. A dog that is properly trained can sniff out 100 percent of your property.

Remove fallen trees from your yard as soon as possible. Chop it up to make firewood. If you do not have a use for it, you can sell it or give it to someone. But, do not forget to get rid of the stump as well. Termites love stumps.

Fleas are a notoriously hard problem to solve. You can do a number of things to battle this problem, however. First, vacuum every day and use flea sprays. After you finish, dispose of the vacuum bag immediately.

TIP! Having outdoor lighting is great to have when you are entertaining or to keep strange people away from your house at night, but it’s also a great way to attract pests. Bugs and pests do not particularly care for the colors orange, pink and yellow, so using these colored bulbs can help deter certain pests.

If you wish to rid yourself of mosquitoes, give them nowhere to go. You should drain standing water before it stagnates. Mosquitoes like to breed at spots with water and don’t need large quantities of liquid to do so.

The common housefly is a true fly and is one of the most widely distributed animals. The developmental period for Drosophila melanogaster varies with temperature, as with many ectothermic species. The shortest development time (egg to adult), 7 days, is achieved at 82 Fahrenheit. Development times increase at higher temperatures 86 Fahrenheit, 11 days) due to heat stress. Under crowded conditions, development time decreases, while the emerging flies are smaller.

Females lay some 400 eggs (embryos), about five at a time, into rotting fruit or other suitable material such as decaying mushrooms and sap fluxes. The eggs, which are about 0.5 millimeters long, hatch after 8 to 20 hours. The resulting larvae grow for about 4 days while molting twice (into 2nd- and 3rd-stage larvae), at about 24 and 48 hours after exclusion. During this time, they feed on the microorganisms that decompose the fruit, as well as on the sugar of the fruit themselves. Then the larvae encapsulate in the puparium and undergo a four-day-long metamorphosis, after which the adults enclose (emerge). Females become receptive to courting males at about 8-12 hours after emergence.

Males perform a sequence of five behavioral patterns to court females. First, males orient themselves while playing a courtship song by horizontally extending and vibrating their wings. Soon after, the male positions itself at the rear of the female’s abdomen in a low posture to tap and lick the female genitalia. Finally, the male curls his abdomen and attempts copulation. Females can reject males by moving away and extruding their ovipositor. The average duration of successful copulation is 30 minutes, during which males transfer a few hundred very long (1.76mm) sperm cells in seminal fluid to the female. Females store the sperm, which may need to compete with other males’ stored sperm to fertilize eggs.

Danger from flies
Several species of flies have adapted to live in human structures. When flies are found in human structures, they are always considered to be nuisance pests. Some kinds of flies are also a potential threat to human or animal health. These flies may act as carriers of disease organisms present in their breeding and egg-laying sites. These disease organisms can cause food poisoning, diarrhea, dysentery, or typhoid fever.

Control & Prevention Tips
Cover garbage if not disposed of. Empty all water tanks and bird baths once a week to stop flies from breeding. Proper sanitation is a must. Spray kerosene on stagnant water as kerosene helps in killing and keeping flies away. Always keep wet food and fruits covered. Consult a pest control company to control the population of flies.

Mosquitoes are vectors of numerous diseases, such as malaria, yellow fever, filariasis, dengue, and chikungunya. Most female mosquitoes require a blood meal before they can produce a batch of eggs. Anopheles, culex and Aedes are the most common species of mosquitoes that spread diseases. These vectors develop through four stages: egg, larvae, pupa, and adult; complete development from egg to adult usually takes 10 to 14 days but varies according to the species and temperature. The best-integrated practices can keep the mosquito menace at a tolerable level, but stopping the influx of mosquitoes is a very difficult task as they have various sources of breeding.

Mosquito Menace
Mosquito control can be very difficult but must be attempted not only to rid our homes and businesses of annoying bites but also to stop the spread of certain mosquito-borne health problems. But even if we eliminate all possible breeding sites on our property, mosquitoes born in other areas will still fly to your part of the world. Therefore, vector control measures work well when taken at the community level. There are some methods that the experienced pest control operator may utilize to reduce mosquito pest problems.

Physical Measures
The best control mechanism is prevention. Eliminating all possible mosquito breeding sources – standing water, piles of cut grass and fallen leaves, cleaning fence rows of wild grasses and weeds, and keeping rain gutters free of litter and other vegetation- is indeed your starting point in an integrated pest management program targeting disease-carrying pests.

Indoor Mosquitoes Control
If we have an indoor mosquito problem, the best solution is to seal them out by repairing doors, screens, windows, etc. In addition, screen-like mesh wires obstruct their entry. If, for some reason, this is not always possible, we can use a space spray to kill flying pests.

Outdoor Mosquito Control
Control of larvae – Larvae breed wherever suitable water is available. To control the larvae, either the water has to be removed or insecticides to be used. Oils are also used to kill larvae. However, the larvicide measures done in the water source take care of only the mosquito larvae and not the eggs and pupae already present in the water body. If we have an indoor mosquito problem, the best solution is to seal them out by repairing doors, screens, windows, etc. In addition, screen-like mesh wires obstruct their entry. If, for some reason, this is not always possible, we can use a space spray to kill flying pests.

Control of adult mosquitoes
* Fogging: This method of outdoor mosquito control and fly control and other such pests is temporary but is indeed necessary in many instances. * Thermal Foggers: The best time to kill adult mosquitoes by fogging is at dusk, when they are most active and looking for food (mosquitoes feed on human or animal blood). The aerosol fog primarily targets flying mosquitoes, which is why the timing of the spray is critical. A thermal fogger (as opposed to a cold fogger) produces a thick pesticide fog or smoke by heating the fogging solution. It produces a nice insect fog that is directed to areas where it would like to kill mosquitoes and other biting pests. During the fogging, flying mosquitoes within the treated area are killed. Although the local mosquito population is reduced for a few days, fogging does not prevent mosquitoes from re-entering the area.
* Cold Foggers: This type of fogging treatment does not require insecticides to burn in order to create a mist or fog. This type of fog is considered cleaner and can be used indoors and outdoors to kill unwanted flying or biting pests. Mosquito control measures always give better results in an integrated approach of prevention, control, and source elimination. Any one of these in isolation provides only partial results.

Do you know that Rats’ front teeth (incisors) grow 5 inches per year? Their teeth grow continuously throughout their life. Therefore, naturally, if they don’t gnaw on things, their teeth will grow longer than their bodies. This makes them the most destructive structural pest. It is an established fact that rats can cause great destruction with their powerful teeth and jaws — jaws so powerful that they can bite through lead!

RAT’S BIOLOGY AND HABITS
Rats are some of the most troublesome and damaging rodents. They consume and contaminate food, damage structures and property, and transmit parasites and diseases to other animals and humans. Rats habitat and thrive under different climatic conditions. They are often found in and around homes and other buildings, farms, gardens, etc. Their nests are built from soft material like paper or grass chewed into small pieces. Rats will climb if necessary to enter a building. Some species of rats are excellent swimmers. The common species of rats are Mus musculus (house mouse), Rattus rattus (roof rat), Mus musculus (mice), and bandicoots (Big Rats). Rats of either species, especially young ones, can squeeze beneath a door with only a 2 cm gap. If the door is made of wood, the rat may gnaw to enlarge the gap.

Scope of Work
Once the rat menace is identified and the entry point of rats into the building is established, the best-suited methodology is adopted with minimal disruption. On premises where the rat menace is frequent, a sort of Annual Maintenance Contract is entered into with the client. Frequent inspections and services are carried out to prevent their population from growing and check the harborage places. All this follow-up and monitoring is possible through frequent visits to the site, and hence, a Maintenance contract is a must.

A. Trapping: Non-Chemical Control
The best options available today are the Rat Glue boards, which can be used indoors to capture mice and Rats. We, as a professional Pest management Company, have services and products to help citizens solve this problem for a better environment. There are several advantages to using rat glue traps: Safer than potentially hazardous poison baits. Quick, immediate results and it allows the user to confirm if the rat was killed. Easy disposal of dead rodents avoiding odor problems that will occur if rodenticides kill rodents in inaccessible areas. However, trapping is useless if the procedures to prevent reinfestation are not followed. Moreover, there may be a need to have as many as 2 to 3 dozen rat glue traps set in place in commercial establishments like factories, warehouses, production halls, etc. By applying these traps with baits like peanut butter or other alluring eatables large population of rats start feeding on it and can be eliminated after trapping.

B. Baiting: Chemical Control
Another popular method is the use of Baits to allure them, which is responsible for the slow death of rats. Poison Baits (Rodenticides). Rodenticides are poisons that kill rodents. Depending upon their chemical property and mode of action Rodenticides can be classified into two groups. Single-dose Anti coagulants (Fast action Baiting) and Multi-dose Anti coagulants (Slow action Baiting.) Rat poisons or Baits should never be purchased from local hardware stores, feed stores, discount stores, etc. Do not buy unlabeled rat poisons from street vendors or other uncertain sources. Ideally, the job of rats and rodent control should be done by professional and trained pest control operators, as it involves handling toxic materials. Rodent baits are used only to supplement the trapping methods. If there is a repeated need to use baits, it is likely that sanitation should be improved. We use only those baiting products that are registered and the label instructions are strictly followed. In the case of “multi-dose anticoagulants,” the active ingredients in baits are used at very low levels, so bait shyness does not occur when using properly formulated baits. Most of these baits cause death only after they are consumed by rats for several days. These baits are always kept in tamper-resistant bait stations. It provides a safeguard for people, pets and other animals. These bait stations are strategically placed on the runways of rats or the openings close to the wall or in other places where rats are active. Wherever possible, the applied area is placed as “Caution-Rat Bait” as a safety precaution.

The limited scope of Sound and Electronic Devices
Rats quickly become immune to frequently repeated sounds. Ultrasonic sounds, those above the range of human hearing, have very limited use because they are unidirectional and do not penetrate behind objects like furniture, sacks, records, etc. Moreover, their intensity gets diminished with distance. There is hardly any evidence that proves that sound of any type will drive established rats from buildings or otherwise give sufficient control. We offer our services for rat and rodent control services to domestic and commercial installations, keeping in mind their specific requirement, and then customizing the rat control program. A thorough inspection of the premises is the key to success for any rodent management program.

RAT CONTROL IN OPEN AREAS
Burrow Fumigation – In the open area, the foremost requirement is to identify the rat and rodents’ live burrows (rat holes). Proper identification of live burrows in the open gets half of the job done… Rat and rodent burrow fumigation is a tricky job. Sometimes one rat burrow may consist of multiple openings. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to identify the rodent burrows with multiple openings and plug all openings except one from where burrow fumigation has to be performed. Thereafter, Burrow fumigation is performed using Fumigants like Aluminum Phosphide. Immediately after applying fumigant the burrow opening is closed thoroughly. The basic principle is that the burrow should retain the gas for sufficient time to be lethal enough to kill all the rats and rodents present inside. Burrow fumigation is the most popular method of rat and rodent control in open areas.

Torpedo Baiting
The second method of controlling rats in open areas is known as “torpedo baiting”. It implies that the rat burrows are applied with baits in such a way that rats are left with no other option than to accept the poison bait. Bait is prepared by mixing rodenticides like Zinc phosphide with crushed grain. This bait is stuffed in live burrows and the openings are plugged immediately. The rats are left with no other option than to accept the poison bait and finally get killed.

We provide these Rat/Rodent control services to the open areas of food processing units, bakeries, bottling units, pharmaceuticals, soap and oil factories, paper industry, residential colonies, warehouses, farmhouses, hotels and restaurants, railways, airports, defense establishments, industrial townships, power generating houses/plants etc.

All homeowners know about the stress caused by pests. They invade the home when they are not wanted. If you are having a pest issue, you need to find out how to get rid of them. The below article provides some excellent advice to help you eliminate pests from your home for good.

* Use steel wool to plug in openings where rodents can enter. Rodents can bite through a lot, but this might cause an issue for them. Stuff any opening that is bigger than one-half inch. Animals can get through very small openings.
* Have you found that fruit flies return even after you have eradicated them? The source of your problem may be your drain. Use plastic wrapping on your drain for just a few days. If you end up seeing them you should clean your drain as well as you possibly can. That will kill off the breeding cycle which was going on.
* TIP! Try using hairspray to get rid of bees, hornets, or wasps. The hairspray is a double threat, as it kills the bugs while repelling others with its scent.

You should never purchase a home before having it inspected by a professional beforehand. Many pest problems go undetected upon an initial inspection. Only by living in the home will the problem become apparent. A trained dog is a great termite-finding tool. A human can be effective, but not as effective as a dog. A dog that is properly trained can sniff out 100 percent of your property. They can smell methane gas, which is a byproduct of termites. Get an exterminator with a trained termite dog to find out if there are termites in your home. A human termite inspector can only verify that about a third of your home is safe. A dog that is properly trained can sniff out 100 percent of your property.

* TIP! Food should always be properly stored and sealed within its container when not in use. If there’s one thing for which pests will make a beeline, it is food, so you don’t want to tempt them. Food that is being stored must be sealed well. The smell of food is what ends up attracting pests into your home. Take the trash out when it’s full. Pests love the scent of garbage, after all.

Bedbugs have a habit of hiding in tiny places, which makes them hard to eliminate. Before doing any extermination, make sure you close any open holes. Doing this means no bugs can come out after you have exterminated.

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 near your home. When trees are too close, rodents can climb them and get into your attic and roof. Make sure they are a minimum of 15 feet away from the house.

* TIP! When placing brushes around the home, place them at least a foot away from the building itself. All sorts of insects will make their home in this brush, no matter what you do.

When battling mice near your home, try mint. Plant some mint around your home. Mice will not want to live anywhere near it. Try sprinkling some leaves where the mice live. Mice will be repelled as long as you use fresh leaves.

Having outdoor lighting is great to have when you are entertaining or to keep strange people away from your house at night, but it’s also a great way to attract pests. Outdoor lighting in yellow, pink, and orange usually attracts fewer bugs.

Fleas can be hard to eliminate, but there are various ways to eliminate them and their eggs. The first things to do are to start vacuuming daily and using a flea spray. Do not forget to discard your vacuum bag when you finish vacuuming your home.

Keep mosquitoes away by getting rid of places where they like to stay. Drain places that are harboring stagnant water. Mosquitoes are known to live near water sources.

If you’re storing a camper or a travel trailer during the winter, mice can find their way in sometimes. Try using natural repellents to keep them away during all seasons of the year. You can keep the mice out of your camper by placing these non-poisonous, pleasant-smelling bags around.

Store food properly to keep pests from getting into it. It is best to put any foods that have been opened into containers that are sealed closed very tightly. Do not use boxes or paper bags, bugs can get in them.

Plug-in pest repellents are effective tools for eliminating bugs. You plug these into your outlets, and they will scare rodents away. Although they are audible to humans, they are not harmful to humans or pets in any way. Rats and mice don’t like them and will stay away from them.

* TIP! Get rid of fallen trees in your yard. Chop it up to make firewood.

Pest control involves using the right approach to your specific problem. Remember to evaluate the possible health risks of pesticides before using any product. While eliminating pests is important, your family’s safety is more important.

TIP! Does your home have brown recluse spiders? If so, trap them with sticky traps. These spiders are poisonous; therefore, you need to eliminate them as soon as possible. It’s hard to eliminate pests if they’re in your home. This issue can take up a lot of your time and money. Use the advice described here to solve your pest problem before it causes real damage.

TIP! If you would like to figure out if you have termites, have a dog with training sniff for them, instead of just a human. An actual human inspector is only capable of verifying the safety of about one-third of the home.

Use a perimeter spray to prevent indoor insects. Spray areas around your house, like the windows and doors, porches and areas near doors and windows. Look for cracks and small holes through which pests can use as an entrance to your home. Use caulk to seal the gaps.

TIP! If you have been the victim of a recent bedbug infestation and have taken steps to eradicate them, be vigilant. Bedbugs can hibernate for up to a year before coming back in full force. This is the reason you should make sure that all open holes in walls or doors are sealed. They will not be able to hide in these areas.

TIP! Those who are contending with flying bugs must make repairs to all window screens. In addition to preventing flying insects from entering, they can also deter those who crawl.

If you have a problem with mice and rats, place the trees far from your house. Trees are an easy way for these rodents to climb and enter your house through the roof or attic. A good rule of thumb is to plant trees no less than 15 feet from your house.

TIP! When you put bushes around your house, put them about 12 inches away from your home at minimum. Many insects will take up residence here, regardless of the preventative measures you take.

Mint helps you battle against a great deterrent for keeping mice problem. Plant mint all along the perimeter of your home. This will make the foundation undesirable for mice to live there. Sprinkle mint leaves around to deter rodents. This will get rid of most mouse problems; just remember to use fresh leaves.

TIP! Be sure your recycled goods are properly rinsed. One specific item that is very important to thoroughly rinse and clean is soda cans with a high amount of sugar.

Outdoor lighting can be nice for various reasons, but it’s not so great at keeping away pests. If you need outdoor lighting, pick colors that attract fewer insects, yellow or orange in tint, or yellow-tinted bulbs since they don’t attract pests as much.

TIP! If pests and bugs are driving you to distraction, help may be at hand. See a home improvement store nearby to ask the pros in there how to get rid of pests. Even if you don’t think you have a problem, check the entire thing on occasion. If your home has a basement, then your house may be subject to subterranean termites that can eat the area of the house that you do not see very often. Check on the crawl spaces and basements.

TIP! No matter whether you can see signs of infestation or not, have the entire residence examined anyway. If your house is underground, you might have underground termites. Electronic pest control can work well. They can be plugged into each room and emit sounds that repel rodents. Even though humans can hear them, the sound does not harm people or animals at all. Rodents will not stay in the area where you plug in this device.

TIP! Use hairspray to kill indoor flies. It is safe for humans and pets, but not so much for flying insects.

Mice will come into your trailer if you leave it in campers stored outside throughout the winter months. You can use natural repellents. You can get nicely scented sachets of repellent that you will like, pleasant smelling bags around.

TIP! You must know the haunts and habits of household pests to eradicate them effectively. Learn about the pest’s life cycle, food, likes and dislikes, etc.

Hairspray can kill insects, and you get rid of any flying insects. Hairspray will stick to them incapable of getting food and water or food. This is particularly useful for fighting bees that fly into your home and do not want to get too close.

TIP! You need to keep food away from the bugs. Glass and plastic containers are great to use if you’re sealing them with a good lid.

You need to think of how a pest is entering your home. For instance, maybe your pets track them in, or maybe one of your pets is bringing the pests inside. You can fix your home once you know how they’re getting in.

TIP! Make sure to read all instructions on pesticide packaging and follow them closely. Sometimes, you may get poor results if you fail to follow them with precision. It is obviously easier to gain pests than it is to get rid of them. Now, you know what it takes to control pests. If you already have a serious pest problem, you should probably call in a contractor to deal with it.

When you first run across evidence of a home pest problem, it can be troubling. There are many pests that can get inside your home within seconds. Cleaning your home is the best way to keep the pest away, but it will not entirely protect you. This article will discuss some common methods of pest control.

Steel Wool
If you are considering buying a home, make sure that you have a professional inspect it first. Certain signs of infestation are easy to recognize, but keep in mind that you have no way of knowing what kind of pest is hiding under the home or in the insulation until you stay in the home for a few days.

TIP! Make sure that all your food is properly stored and sealed. Many pests love the smell of food, so keep it contained to keep them away.

Use steel wool to fill up any hole that any pest is using as an entrance. Rodents such as mice and rats are known to be able to chew through almost anything, but steel wool will stop them dead in their tracks. Be sure to fill all openings larger than 1/2 an inch. Mice and rats can squeeze through some tiny openings.

Vacuuming the rugs is a good pest control tip. Vacuuming picks up ants, bugs, cockroaches and other insects that are living inside your home. Dispose of the bag when done.

When it comes to eliminating pests, make sure you start this process at the beginning. If pests are an issue for you, find out what is causing them. Things such as food, water and available shelter all make your home tempting to pests. Leaks, scraps of food, and easy access are the pest’s best friends.

The best thing to do if there are flying pests in your home is to repair your screens. Having your screens rip-free and properly secured will keep flying pests out as well as crawling pests. If your screens have any holes, repair them immediately.

Pest Control
Check your local building authority and ordinances for available options for pest control. If you are planning to sell your home, don’t make the mistake of spraying illegal chemicals all around. You should always do some research on pest control methods authorized in your area and not hesitate to contact local authorities if you are not sure what to do.

If your home has a problem with brown recluse spiders, use sticky traps to catch them. The spiders are poisonous, and they like to hide in deep holes where chemicals cannot reach them. They will come out during the night to look for food. Optimal places for traps include behind furniture and near walls.

Suffering from a pest infestation? A simple combination of borax and sugar will eradicate them. They will be attracted to the sugar, but the borax will be deadly. A cup of borax and a cup of sugar will do it. Poke holes through the lid and then sprinkle the mixture around the foundation of your home and along baseboards.

TIP! Repair all leaks in your plumbing. Pests are attracted to a water source. Always have new homes inspected by a trained professional. You might be able to spot some signs of pest damage, but it is hard to recognize which type of pest you are dealing with until you actually spot some bugs or rodents in the home.

Have you recently gotten rid of a bedbug infestation? If so, then do not assume your problem is gone. Bedbugs can hibernate for up to a year before coming back in full force. This is the reason why you should seal off holes in your floors and walls. Then they won’t have a hiding spot.

Always store your food carefully. Pests always come when they smell food, so don’t leave things lying around to create an attractive scent. Also, when your trash is full, be sure to take it out right away. Pests love the smell of your garbage.

Seal all of the cracks that are in your home to control pests. A lot of the time these places are seen as an entrance to pests that are looking for a new place to live. They will be locked out tight if you seal up these small openings.

TIP! Fleas are a notoriously hard problem to solve. You can do a number of things to battle this problem, however.

You may believe that your home has no signs of pest problems. However, you should still regularly check your entire home. Your home can be affected by underground termites if part of it lies under the ground. Therefore, make sure that your basements and other small areas of your home are checked out regularly. This article gave you some wonderful ways to rid yourself of pests. If there’s one thing that should be clear from the article, it is that there are many people in your situation. In fact, pests usually make their presence known, no matter what your location. Utilize all that you have just learned so that you can permanently get rid of pests.

It can be very hard to deal with pests. Not having the slightest idea how to go about fixing the problem can be even worse. Fortunately, the information presented here will give you a good start. Peruse the following paragraphs to find out how.

Spraying hairspray on wasps, bees, or other flying pests can immobilize them almost instantly. The hairspray is a double threat, as it kills the bugs while repelling others with its scent.

Gather all the throw rugs you have and vacuum them well in order to keep pests down. This will get the bugs and ants in the living room, kitchen and den. When you finish vacuuming, dispose of the bag or empty the canister.

TIP! Do you have a constant problem battling fruit flies? You may have to check your drain for consistency. Tape some plastic over it for several days to see if any fruit flies appear.

Begin where it started. Seek to eliminate the things that attract pests. Pests enter homes when they find water, food, or shelter to use. Search for and get rid of food scraps, leaks or entry points.

Get an exterminator with a trained termite dog to find out if there are termites in your home. A human that looks for termites may only be able to see if a third or so of your house is safe. Trained termite-sniffing dogs can check your home out completely. They can smell methane gas that the termites leave behind when they eat wood.

The beginning is the place to start. If you have trouble with pests, figure out what they’re eating. Pests are probably attracted to your home because there is a source of water, available food, and adequate shelter. Try to fill cracks, clean food sources and block entry to your house.

Inspect your home for standing water which may be in hidden areas. Pests can literally sense standing water. Look around for any leaky pipes. Also, look for any plants that have standing water around the trays. Pests require water to stay alive, so getting rid of these areas will discourage pests from living there.

Fleas are a notoriously hard problem to solve. You can do a number of things to battle this problem, however. First, vacuum your house very well. Once you have done this, use a good quality flea spray. Be sure you get rid of the bag in your vacuum after you vacuum up the home.

There is a solution for people who are experiencing a bug problem. Try using the home improvement store as a resource and speak with the workers there. They know what pesticides work on whatever pest you have in your home.

Struggling with ants? A mixture of borax and sugar can help you eliminate ants from your home. Sugar attracts them and borax kills them. A cup of borax and a cup of sugar will do it. Poke holes through the lid to allow you to sprinkle it around the foundation and baseboards.

TIP! Is your home being invaded by mice or rats? A crucial thing to do is look at the outside sections of your house to determine what cracks may exist that would allow rodents or small animals to enter. Cover these openings with scouring pads or use poison in these areas. If trees fall in the yard, clear the debris promptly. All you have to do is chop up the tree and burn it. You can either use it yourself or give it to someone. In addition, do not forget to take care of the stump. Termites love stumps.

Do you have a problem with rodents in your house? Always look at your home exterior to find small cracks and openings. Fill those cracks using scouring pads or by placing poison inside them. Sometimes mustard oil or one other repellent can work.

Drains are a common place in which pests can be found. Liquid cleaner or a snake monthly on your drains is always a great idea. Debris in your drain causes mold, which gives the pests a reason.

If you’re a pet owner, don’t use poison to kill rodents. This poison can be taken in by your pet and can cause great harm. These types of bait are also inappropriate if you have children. They could actually eat these pellets, mistaking them for candy.

TIP! Do some research on the kind of insect or rodents that are invading your home. Find out what you can do yourself that they do not like. If you want to get rid of pests once and for all, you need a bit of knowledge. Learn about the bug’s or rodents’ life cycle, what they eat, whether they like humidity, and what kind of damage they can do. When you know what you’re dealing with, you are better able to form a plan. Armed with this information, you will soon be rid of the pests that plague your existence. It is time to quit worrying about the problem. It is now time to act and solve the issue. Soon enough, you will have your home back and they will be in your life and your home no longer.

Everyone wants to get rid of pests. You want them all out right away, whether they are rodents, insects or other critters. The best way to do this is by trying proven techniques, and this article is full of them.

Prevent bugs from coming into your house by using a perimeter spray designed for the outdoors. Spray the foundation, as well as steps, porches and areas near doors and windows. Look for cracks that pests can use as an entrance to your home. Make sure you use caulk around these places.

A great way to kill off wasps, bees, and hornets is by using hairspray on them. Many chemicals inside this spray will eliminate the bugs where they’re standing, and its scent will prevent any new ones from coming.

TIP! Begin your pest control from ground zero. When you have problems with pests, be sure you are not providing them with food.

Be cautious when trying to eliminate bed bugs. Bedbugs can lay in wait for an entire year without eating. Therefore, you should ensure that any openings in the floors and walls are kept closed. You will prevent them from hiding in there.

Is your home overrun with ants? Mix borax and sugar to eliminate them. Sugar attracts them and borax kills them. Mix equal parts sugar and borax in a small, lidded jar. Poke holes on the lid and then sprinkle the areas where the ants are.

Try using pesticides around the foundation of your home. Windows, doors, foundations and steps should all be treated with the product. While you are doing this, look for crevices and cracks that could allow pests entry into your home. Use caulk or another type of filler to seal the open areas.

TIP! Seal all of the cracks that are in your home to control pests. These are just the places that pests love to find as they are looking for ways to get inside.

Mint helps you battle against a mouse problem. Just plant mint all around your foundation. This will keep mice from wanting to live there. If you’ve got mice, sprinkle some mint leaves near the affected areas. Most of the time, this will act as good repellent, but the mint leaves must be fresh.

If you want to recycle your garbage, you should take the time to rinse food containers. Soda cans especially are important to rinse because of the sugar. Be certain to rinse the soda away entirely, guaranteeing that it is clean once stored in the garage or outside the home.

Having some outdoor lights is great for entertainment purposes or to keep away strangers, but it’s also seen as a fantastic way to keep pests around. Outdoor lighting in yellow, pink, and orange usually attracts fewer bugs.

TIP! As soon as you notice fallen trees in your yard, eliminate them. Cut them up and use the pieces for firewood. Eliminate fallen trees from your yard. Be sure to cut up the trunk and branches for use as firewood. Use it yourself, make some money off it, or give it to people for free. However, remember to deal with the stump too. Stumps make termites come around.

Prevent mosquitoes from invading your home by removing the environment that they like. Eliminate standing water anyplace you can. This is the chosen breeding round for mosquitoes, so this one thing can go a long way toward ridding your property of mosquitoes. If you use pesticides, ensure that you always follow the label instructions. While it might seem that using more of a product will give you better results, that is not true. You can seriously cause harm if you apply these in the wrong way.

Do you have a problem with rodents invading your home? Search for small cracks that these small pests can squeeze through. You may want to put poison in these areas or some kind of filling, such as scouring pads. Use mustard oil to chase the rodents from your home if they are inside.

TIP! If you’ve got a camper or travel trailer that’s stored in the wintertime, mice might get inside to live in it. Natural repellents exist that can keep them at bay, however.

Use some hairspray to get rid of flying bugs. Perfume works as well, but it can be problematic if it gets in your eyes. Both products are flammable, so don’t use them near an open flame! If you do not have bug spray on hand, this is a quick and effective solution.

Pesticides come with detailed instructions and you should familiarize yourself with them. You will not get good results if you don’t use them precisely as directed. For example, if you’re instructed to apply it every day, don’t miss a day. If you don’t follow directions, you will prolong the infestation.

Hairspray is surprisingly effective at dealing with flying insects. You can use hairspray safely around yourself and your pets; however, it is harmful to flying insects.

Placing bushes too close to your entry points or windows can risk having them go inside your home.

TIP! When you’re not using your food, be sure it’s sealed properly. The smell of food is what ends up attracting pests into your home.

Even if your home is cleaned and you watch the door, you can still get them. This article is filled with useful tips you need to know about if you are dealing with a pest problem.

If you have a water leak, fix it. Many pests like areas that have water. Even from a distance, these pests can tell there is water pooling in your home.

Never be the cause of your pest problem. Put in a little effort and deal with your pest problem before it gets out of hand. Stuff steel wool into holes that pests could enter through. Although rodents can chew through many different kinds of materials, this steel wool is too tough for them. Be sure to fill all openings larger than 1/2 an inch. This sort of critter is able to get through very small holes.

TIP! You can use hairspray to get rid of bees, wasps and hornets near your home. There are many chemicals in this spray that will kill the bugs where they stand, and the scent will also help to prevent new ones from inhabiting your area.

If you have crevices and cracks located in your home, make sure that you seal them off as soon as you can. A lot of the time these places are seen as an entrance to pests that are looking for a new place to live. If you close them off, the pests won’t be able to get in. Although some areas of your house may look normal, check them anyway. Include checking underneath the house when looking for pests. Make sure to check out your crawl spaces and basements.

If you have a travel trailer or camper that is stored over winter, mice sometimes find entry and take up residence. There are natural repellents out there that can discourage them. Bags of repellents that smell good aren’t poisonous, but keep mice out of your camper or RV.

If you are considering buying a home, make sure that you have a professional inspect it first. Certain kinds of infestation are obvious, but remember that you will not really know what type of pest problems you will have until you live in the house for a little while.

You can use steel wool to fill in mouse holes. Mice will see the steel wool blocking their hole and attempt to chew through it, and the steel particles will kill them. Use a spackle to plug the rodent holes.

To keep pests away from items that are edible, store your items properly. It is best to put any foods that have been opened into containers that are sealed closed very tightly. Paper bags and cardboard are the worst options, as pests can eat through them easily.

Make sure you seal off any cracks and crevices around your home. Pests can get into your home through these cracks. The best fix for this is to seal these entrances off so they can not re-enter.

TIP! Even though fleas are notoriously difficult to eliminate, you can use several techniques to rid your home of the fleas and their eggs. Vacuum your home each day, and then follow up by spraying flea spray.

Ask your neighbors to help with the pest problem. In certain areas, especially close neighborhoods, residents will often have similar pest issues.

Ask your neighbors to join your fight so that you all can live a life free of pests.

Use this trick to attract silverfish and get rid of them all at once. Dampen a newspaper and set it out somewhere in your home overnight. Some people have found success with this and all of the silverfish were collected on the wet newspaper overnight. In the morning, slip the damp newspaper into a plastic bag quickly. Seal it and set it in the sun for a day. Then put it in the trash.

When utilizing pesticides, be sure to follow the instructions on the package. Using a large quantity of a pesticide will not solve your problem quicker. This will likely only make it even more dangerous for anyone that happens to come into contact.

Quickly remove fallen trees from your yard. Cut up the branches and the trunk to use for firewood. You can use it, sell it or just give it away. But, do not forget to get rid of the stump as well. A stump is simply dead wood, which attracts termites.

No homeowner deserves to have pests invade their home. These annoying critters can take over your home during extremely inconvenient times. There are a number of different ways to approach a pest problem. The following article is full of those solutions.

Make certain to check local ordinances and codes to find out which types of pest control are allowed in your area. If you are trying to sell your house, you might not want to spray pesticides that are illegal. Though this does not happen often, it does indicate a need to do your research.

One thing that will eradicate pests is to vacuum thoroughly. Vacuuming gathers up all of the ants from within the rooms, as well as small pieces of trash or food that may attract more outsiders. Always trash the bag once you have finished.

TIP! Are you having recurring problems with fruit flies, even after you have eliminated them? They may be living in your sink drains. Put a bit of plastic wrap across the drain for a while to determine whether or not fruit flies appear.

Remember that bed bugs are a tricky pest to treat. Bedbugs can remain dormant for up to a year. This is the reason it is important to close off all holes in your home’s walls and floors. Then they won’t have a hiding spot.

Place brushes a foot or more away from the home to keep pests from invading. Numerous insects can enter your home through this brush, regardless of what you try to do. If bushes are located too near the windows and doors of your home, the risks are great that the insects can easily get inside.

If there are cracks and crevices around your house, be sure they are sealed as quickly as possible. These are some of the most common entry points for bugs into a home. They fit between even the tiniest cracks. By thoroughly sealing these off, you deny them a gateway into your home.

Never buy a home without a thorough pest inspection first. Some pest problems are easy to spot, but other pests may be invisible because they hide in the home’s foundation or insulation. You won’t be able to identify these problems with a simple walkthrough.

TIP! If you have food out it should always be sealed. Food scents are a big attraction to a lot of pests.

You may need to inspect your plumbing if you have a chronic pest problem. Be sure that there are no clogged drains or sinks around or in your home. Organic matter may build up in them and make a great meal for roaches and flies. After you have cleared the drains, check them every month.

While high-traffic areas of the house may reveal no issues, inspect the entire structure often. You might have termites taking over an underground area of your house that you don’t often enter. Make sure crawl spaces and basements are inspected thoroughly.

Keep mosquitoes away by getting rid of places where they like to stay. Wherever water is simply standing, get rid of it. It is possible for mosquitoes to breed in very tiny areas of water, including the water that is left over from leftover food.

Make sure that your screens are fully functional at all times. Screens on your doors and windows can not only prevent flying insects from coming into your home, but they can also help prevent other crawling insects from coming in, too. If your screens have any holes, repair them immediately.

TIP! Check your home for hidden standing water. This can attract many pests, including mosquitoes.

If you own a camper or trailer that you keep in storage, mice can find it, find a way inside, and treat it like home. There are natural repellents that are very effective at discouraging unwanted guests. Smaller bags of repellent can smell good and are non-toxic. They are quite effective in preventing mice from residing in your camper or RV.

Have you discovered a mouse hole? Try cutting up small steel wood pieces and putting them into this hole. Mice will see the steel wool blocking their hole and attempt to chew through it, and the steel particles will kill them. To take care of the problem in the long term, fill the hole with builder’s putty and mix in some steel wool. It has the same effect as a steel wool ball.

It is time to fix those leaky faucets and pipes. Pests always look for sources of water. In fact, most pests can even sense water from far away. Don’t contribute to your pest invasion. Put some effort into it and avoid the need to deal with pests in your house.

TIP! Many people having difficulties can start solving their problems by taking one little piece of advice. Ask the pros at your nearby home improvement center to recommend some good pest control measures. There are many options these days when it comes to pest control. When you are considering different methods, make sure that you take your family’s safety into account first and foremost. Getting rid of the pests is important, but you must make sure that your family’s health is not put in jeopardy.

Do you know how to control pests? There are a lot of things to know about pest control and you will learn some ways to combat it here using your own techniques. There are several tips and tricks you can try to eliminate bugs and rodents for good and keep your home clean.

Use steel wool to plug any holes that may be an entranceway for pests, like mice. Rodents are unable to chew through the steel fibers. If there is an opening larger than one-half inch, you should fill it. These pests are able to get through the tiniest of openings.

Check your local building authority and ordinances for available options for pest control. Applying banned chemicals may pose problems down the road when you go to sell the house. This is why it is important to know what is appropriate to use.

TIP! Use a spray for outdoor perimeters to make insects avoid entering your house. Cover your home’s foundation, porch, steps, and spaces near windows and doors.

Vacuuming the rugs is a good pest control tip. You will vacuum up ants, bugs, and other critters that are in the kitchen, living room, and den. Be sure to toss the vacuum bag when finished.

Do fruit flies keep coming back after you get rid of them? You may have to check your drain for consistency. Place some plastic wrap on a drain to see if small flies or other bugs appear. If they do, try pouring boiling water down it and scrubbing it thoroughly. This should prevent fruit flies from making a nest in your drain.

If your home has been infested by bedbugs and you believe you have totally eradicated them, be careful. Bedbugs can go upwards of a year without any food. Use putty to close any opening in the walls or floors of your home. This makes it impossible for bedbugs to hide.

TIP! Bedbugs are very sneaky and can be hard to eliminate. Before you start your extermination, take care to plug up and holes.

Use sticky-paper traps to control brown recluse spiders. These spiders are poisonous and hard to reach using chemicals. During the night they go out in search of food. Traps along your baseboards and behind furniture will capture them.

Never buy a house until it has been inspected first. You might be able to spot some signs of pest damage, but it is hard to recognize which type of pest you are dealing with until you actually spot some bugs or rodents in the home.

Keep insects out of your home by using a repellant spray on the perimeter of your home. Apply this spray on the foundation, the porch, steps and on doors and windows as well. Be sure to keep a lookout for cracks that may allow pests to enter your home. It can be very effective if you fill these spaces with caulk.

If you have any plumbing leaks, immediately fix them. Many pests like areas that have water. You would be surprised how far away they can be yet they know of your water drip. Never be the cause of your pest problem. A little work on your home will ensure that they will not enter.

TIP! Seal off any cracks or openings in your home. Use a good caulking material and be thorough.

If you would like to figure out if you have termites, have a dog with training sniff for them, instead of just a human. Human inspectors can only really verify approximately one-third of your whole home. A specially trained dog can give your home the most thorough inspection. They will notice methane gas, which can come from termites consuming the wood in your home.

If you have any plumbing leaks, immediately fix them. Many pests like areas that have water. They can actually sense a drip from a pretty far distance.

You do not want to be invaded by pests in your home. With a bit of effort, you can avoid attracting rodents in the first place. Trees should not be planted close to your house if you have rat and mouse problems. This makes an easy way for these rodents to climb up and enter your home using the attic or roof. A good rule of thumb is to plant trees no less than 15 feet from the edge of your house.

Having some outdoor lights is great for entertainment purposes or to keep away strangers, but it’s also seen as a fantastic way to keep pests around. Use light bulbs that emit a tint of orange, pink or yellow for outdoor lighting because bugs are not attracted to them.

TIP! Try killing flying insects in your home with hairspray. It is safe for humans and pets, but not so much for flying insects.

Use what you’ve learned to help get your home back to where it once was before. Nobody likes pests, and getting rid of yours is surely a priority. You are now ready to take aim and fire away. Begin protecting your home from pests today by applying what you have learned here.

1/1/24 pest control – gtg

Sometimes we have to deal with unwanted visitors in our house. They’re creepy and gross and hide in dark places. That’s right: we’re talking about PESTS. In order to prevent an infestation, you’ll need to manage your pests by hiring a pest control company. In the event that pests are already invading your house, you’ll need to contact our Pest Control company ASAP. Some pests are more dangerous to your well-being and home, but no matter what kind of pest is living in your home, it’s essential to consult a pest control specialist ASAP.

Our Pest Control company has listed a few things to look out for to decipher what kind of pest problem you’re having:
* Moths. Moths won’t hesitate to destroy your entire wardrobe. If you have damage to wool rugs or clothing, you probably have a moth infestation.
* Fleas. Fleas are one of the main problems that Pest Control deals with. Fleas are small brown or black specs. Usually, they’re the most noticeable on your white socks.
* Roaches. If you see a roach during the day, it’s a huge red flag. Since these creatures are nocturnal, they only come out at night. Another way to detect a roast infestation is by finding shell castings around your house.
* Spiders. If you’re seeing a lot of spiders all over your house, then you most likely have a spider infestation. Also, the presence of egg sacs is another way to detect a spider infestation.
* Ants. Ants are attracted to damaged wood. If you notice an ant tunnel within your wood surfaces, you probably have an ant infestation.
* Weevils. Weevils are beetles that like to hang out in flour, rice, beans and wheat. Usually, you’ll find them running around in your cabinets. * Termites. Look for tiny pellets around your windows. They are evidence of the wood that termites spit out. Also, small mud tunnels near the foundation of your home can be an indicator of termites.
* Bees. If you hear buzzing within your walls, you probably have a bee infestation. If you can see beehives in the corner of your walls, then that’s a definite indicator of a bee infestation.
* Rodents. If you’re finding droppings scattered throughout your house, or can smell a musky odor, then you probably have a little family of rats that are hanging out in your house.

Here at our Pest Control company, we understand that bed bugs are probably one of the most threatening things that could happen to our homes. It literally turns our lives upside down. In order to help you prevent these horrible creatures from infesting your house, our exterminators have compiled a list of things you can do.
1. Check your hotel room for signs of bedbugs. To inspect a hotel or room you are staying in for bed bugs, pull back the sheets and inspect the seams for bugs. Also, tiny blood spots can be an indicator of bed bugs. Examine the wood on the bed frame. Don’t set your luggage down. Our exterminators suggest that you leave your luggage in the bathtub, as it is the safest place in the room.
2. Store your luggage in a plastic bag. Put your laundry in a plastic bag. Upon returning home, put the clothes in the dryer on the highest setting.
3. Bed bugs aren’t just in bed. To prevent bed bugs from infesting your home further, you should vacuum off your luggage. Hand-wash other items with hot and soapy water.
4. Know a bed bug when you see one. Bed bugs have a flat & oval body with a reddish brown color. They are around 1/4 of an inch in length.
5. If you see a bug on your bed, don’t freak out. It’s most likely, not a bed bug. Before you start calling every pest control company, make sure you know what kind of bug it is.
6. Make sure to thoroughly inspect used furniture before bringing it into your house. This one is a no-brainer. In the same way that you would inspect the hotel room bed for bedbugs, inspect used furniture that you might be bringing into your house.
7. If you’re getting bug bites at night, you should probably consider the possibility that you have bed bugs.
8. A heavily infested house might smell like coriander.
9. Our Pest Control experts suggest that you vacuum your mattress and bug spring regularly.

How to Select the Best Pest Control Service
Choosing a pest control service that you can trust is actually really important. If you want to ensure that your home is pest-free, you’ll need to know how to select between the many pest control services. We’ve compiled a few things that you can consider in the selection process.
* Be wary of companies that come to your home uninvited. They’ll probably try to scare you into doing business with them, but that’s considered an unethical business tactic of pest control.
* Before signing a contract with a pest control service, make sure you understand the seriousness of the infestation they will be dealing with, and the work/ services that are necessary in order to get them out. Make sure you know the terms of the guarantee that your pest control service gives you.

BedLam Insecticide Product Details:
Active Ingredient: 3-Phenoxybenzyl-2, 2-dimethyl-3-cyclopropanecar boxylate- 0.40%, N-Octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide- 1.60%Features:

Bedlam Insecticide General
Directions: Shake Bedlam Insecticide well before each use. Remove the protective cap. Aim the spray opening away from any person and push the button to spray. Vacate the room after treatment and ventilate before reoccupying. Do not allow children or pets to contact treated areas until surfaces are dry. Do not use directly on pets

TO KILL BEDBUGS
Apply Bedlam Insecticide as a spot treatment to cracks and crevices, around baseboards, floorboards, headboards, and walls. First thoroughly clean and air mattresses and springs. Then spot treat only areas that may harbor pests. On mattresses concentrate on tufts, folds, and seams. Repeat as necessary.

TO KILL LICE
Spray Bedlam Insecticide in an inconspicuous area to test for possible staining or discoloration. Inspect again after drying, and then proceed to spray the entire area to be treated.

An insecticide dust is a dry formulation of a contact insecticide. Dusts are used in different areas, such as gardens, wall voids, and other areas where certain bugs are pests. Dust-formulated insecticides are injected into cracks and crevices in attics, gardens, and crawl spaces with a crank duster. Always choose the correct dust for the pest control job at hand. Improper use of dust can be unsafe and can also fail to control the targeted pest or bug.

An insecticide dust is not to be confused with a wettable powder or granule. Wettable powders are insecticide concentrates formulated to be mixed with water, creating insecticide solutions that can be sprayed in homes, lawns or gardens. These products are easily recognized by the “W” or “WP” in their brand names. Examples of wettable powders are Demon WP, Tempo WP and Cynoff WP. (Insecticide concentrates that dissolve in water, such as Orthene or Acephate, are called soluble, not wettable. )

Granules are dry insecticides that are generally broadcast on lawns or in gardens and are then watered in to release the active ingredient into the soil. Examples of granulated insecticides: Talstar PL, DeltaGard G, Diazinon G. Another granulated insecticide that is often called dust is Flea Stoppers. This is a borate material that looks like dust but is safe to use in carpets to kill flea eggs and flea larvae for 12 months per application.

Many people use insecticide dusts improperly. The most common mistake is using dust in open areas such as cabinets and along baseboards. Not only is this unsafe and not approved in label instructions but this type of application rarely works. Most roaches and other pests will simply walk around small piles of dust, making it ineffective. Dust should be applied to cracks, crevices, entry points, and hiding places. Wall voids and areas beneath false bottoms of cabinets are good places to apply dust. These are the areas where bugs hide and they are out of reach of pets and children. Using a hand bellows-type duster will greatly improve your results. By “puffing” thin clouds of insecticide dust into cracks, crevices, and voids, you create small clouds of product that tend to cling to interior surfaces. These surfaces will now contain small amounts of insecticide that bugs cannot avoid as they crawl through the area, giving you a better kill or knock-down of your targeted pest. The best hand bellows duster for this type of work is the Crusader Duster.

How to Safely Spray Pesticide
Pesticides certainly have positive and negative aspects. On one hand,
they keep plants alive by killing insects that would injure the plant or the
plant’s fruit. On the other hand, if used improperly, they can kill more than
just the insects by polluting the environment. By carefully applying the
chemicals, you can avoid infecting the plant itself. You will most likely be using a handheld pump or a hose-end sprayer to apply the pesticide. The pump sprayers help you mix the chemicals more accurately, but they won’t spray very far. The only way to reach the tops of trees is with the hose end sprayers, which mix less accurately since water pressure is not consistent.

You need to make sure you dilute the chemicals a lot before they are applied since they are very strong in their concentrated forms. Follow the directions – the label – carefully and exactly when you are mixing
chemicals. The chemicals are dangerous, so be careful with them and wear protective gear. Rubber gloves should always be worn. Make sure you measure the portions exactly as the label says. It’s not like cooking where estimation can work. A miscalculation can either kill the tree and
surrounding plants or not control any bugs at all. You should put the
pesticide into the container first, and add the water on top of that. After it is properly mixed, you can apply it.

Ideally, you will spray evenly over the whole area. Don’t spray so much that the chemicals are dripping off of leaves in any area. Using a ladder will help to control how much you are spraying towards the top of trees. Just like you are painting, the pesticide should be applied in even, full sweeps. Only spray each part once, never twice. If you are spraying a large tree, you should spray from the inside of the tree to the outside, while standing on a ladder under the base of the trunk. Once the outer canopy is sprayed, you can move out from under and spray the
rest.

After you are done spraying, you should clean everything thoroughly,
including all of the equipment you used and your clothes. Don’t mix the
clothes you used to spray with the regular loads of laundry. It is very important that you make sure not to drip the chemicals onto
the ground. If you do this, the pesticides will be absorbed into the roots
of the tree and go into the fruit itself. If you keep this from happening
and wash the fruit before you eat it, you will surely not be ingesting
pesticides.

Cynoff WP has a residual of up to 3 months. 1x 1lb. container of Cynoff WP yields up to 48 gallons of finished product. NOTE: Cynoff WP is
the exact same product as Demon WP, but less expensive. Best applied with a 1-gallon sprayer. Apply to the outside foundation and all entry points such as around windows, doors, cracks and crevices, etc. Cynoff WP is very toxic to fish. Do not apply near bodies of water or where there may be water run-off. Always read the label completely before use.

Cockroaches, Crickets, Firebrats, Silverfish, Spiders, and Ticks:
Apply as a coarse, low-pressure spray to areas where these pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, and stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices.

Ants: Apply to any trails, around doors and windows, and other places where ants may be found. Refer to BARRIER TREATMENT directions to prevent infestation.

Bees and Wasps: Application to nests should be made late in the evening when insects are at rest. Thoroughly spray the nest and entrance and
surrounding areas where insects alight.

Boxelder Bugs, Centipedes, Earwigs, Elm Leaf Beetles, Millipedes, Pillbugs, and Sowbugs:
Apply around doors and windows and other places where these pests may be found or where they may enter the premises. Spray baseboards, storage areas and other locations. Refer to BARRIER TREATMENT directions to prevent infestation.

For control of ants, bees, biting flies, boxelder bugs, centipedes, cockroaches, crickets, earwigs, elm leaf beetles, firebrats, fleas, flies, millipedes, mosquitoes, pillbugs, silverfish, sowbugs, spiders, ticks, and wasps:
Apply as a residual spray either by hand or power sprayer to surfaces of buildings, porches, screens, window frames, eaves, patios, residential lawns only such grass areas adjacent or around private homes, duplexes, townhouses, condominiums, house trailers, apartment complexes, carports, garages, fence lines, storage sheds, barns, and other residential and non-commercial structures, refuse dumps, garages and other
areas where pests are found. To help prevent the infestation of buildings,
apply a band of soil and vegetation 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the building. Also, treat the building foundation to a height of 2 to 3 feet where pests are active and may find entrance. Apply as a coarse spray to thoroughly and uniformly wet the band area, using 1 gallon of spray mix per 400 square feet.

NOT FOR SALE IN: NY, CT or VT. Please read the label for more information.

Granulated Insecticides
Granulated insecticides or insecticide granules are often called crystals or dusts in layman’s terms but they are actually neither. An insecticide dust is entirely different from insecticide granules in form and application. At the basic level, granulated pesticides or insecticides are merely a dry form of product that is spread or broadcast over specific areas such as lawns, gardens or flower beds. The use of a good granule spreader will ensure accuracy, even in applications that take far less time and effort. The inactive ingredient in a granular product is called a carrier. This carrier can be composed of pecan shells, clay, corn cob, or other such materials. The carrier makes it possible to apply pesticides in a dry form, instead of spraying. In production, the active ingredient is injected into the carrier. Once the granules have been properly applied, the active ingredient is released into the soil or mulch.

Application of Insecticide Granules
Insecticide granules are misused more than most pest control products. Always read and follow label instructions. Not every product is labeled for specific jobs, most notably vegetable gardens. Once broadcast over the specified area, the active ingredient in your granules is released when you apply water. Unstable products such as Diazinon granules do not tolerate sunshine. When left on the surface (without watering, ) the active ingredient can easily be burned off by the sun’s rays and heat. Watering immediately after application will help ensure that you get the product where it is needed most, at its strongest rate. Talstar granules and DeltaGard G are products that are safer than Diazinon for people, pets, and wildlife. These products are also more stable and more effective than conventional insecticide granules and contain synthetic pyrethroid active ingredients. Merit Insecticide Granules have systemic action and are used in white grub control.

Granules Used In Pest Control
A 25lb. bag of Talstar (contains Bifenthrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide) is $32 and will treat up to 12,000 square feet. Talstar granules are best applied through a hand seeder. The granules are tiny enough to fall between blades of turf grass (out of sight from birds and pets), penetrating the ground or thatch area where they belong. Because of the sand pebble-sized granules, regular drop spreaders and rotary spreaders do not give the precise coverage necessary. Our Granule Spreader makes the job easier and more accurate than conventional push/pull spreaders. Order Talstar granules to treat your lawn for mole crickets. It is also excellent for eliminating chinchants and fire ants.

DeltaGard G (a. i. Deltamethrin, synthetic pyrethroid):
A granular insecticide that utilizes a unique, water-soluble carrier. Its irregularly shaped granules dissolve completely (leaving no particles that might be picked up by birds and other non-target species! ), delivering the maximum dose of DeltaGard to the target insects. Packaged in convenient 20 lb. bags which, at the treatment rate of just 2 lb. per thousand square feet, will treat over 10,000 square feet. This is considerably less than traditional granules and means you carry a lot less bulk while still getting the job done properly. Normal residual is up to 4 weeks, depending on environmental conditions and targeted pests. Use a Granule Spreader for accurate application.

Demon WP
Active Ingredient: Cypermethrin – 40.0%
Features: Demon WP (Water-soluble Packets) Insecticide is for crack and crevice and/or spot applications for residual and contact control of Ants, Carpenter Ants, Cockroaches, Crickets, Spiders and certain other insect pests.

The Demon WP water soluble packets make mixing and use very easy when used with a 1-gallon compressed air sprayer. (See our selection of sprayers in our tools and Sprayers section). 9.5 gm 4-pack Demon WP is for crack and crevice or spot treatment for residual and contact pest control in, on and around buildings and structures and their immediate surroundings and on modes of transport. Permitted areas of use include but are not limited to, industrial buildings, houses, apartment buildings, laboratories, buses, greenhouses and the nonfood/feed areas of stores, warehouses, vessels, railcars, trucks, trailers, aircraft (cargo and
noncabin areas only), schools, nursing homes, hospitals (non-patient areas), restaurants, hotels and food manufacturing, processing and servicing establishments. Demon WP Authorized by the USDA for use in inedible product areas in Federally inspected meat, poultry and egg processing plants.

Each foil envelope of Demon WP Insecticide in Water-Soluble
Packets contain four water-soluble packets of Demon wettable powder (WP). The foil envelope must be opened for use. Because water-soluble packets readily dissolve in the presence of moisture, do not allow them to get wet before adding to the applicator tank. Wear dry gloves when handling the water-soluble packets. Handle with care because excessive handling may cause a rupture of the water-soluble packet. Unused water-soluble packets should be stored in the original foil envelope and folded over to minimize exposure to moisture.

Demon WP
Insecticide in Water-Soluble Packets are intended for dilution with water for applications. For best results, dilution should be achieved if the following steps are taken:
1. Fill the applicator tank 1/2 with water.
2. Add desired Demon WP Insecticide in Water-Soluble Packet(s).
3. Allow 1-2 minutes for dissolution of water-soluble packet(s).
4. Agitate, stir, or shake the applicator tank.
5. Finish filling the applicator tank and agitate again before use to ensure satisfactory suspension.

Note: Upon standing without agitation for more than 1 hr. , the applicator tank should be agitated, stirred or shaken again to achieve
satisfactory suspension. Make up only the amount of application volume as required. This product should not be applied with oil.

Tank Mixing Demon WP
Insecticide in Water-Soluble Packets may be tank mixed with other currently registered pesticides unless expressly prohibited by the product label. A small volume mixing test with the other products is recommended to ensure compatibility. Observe all restrictions and precautions that appear on the labels of these products.
