Put that spray can down

Keith has an excellent blog- Probestblog’s Blog and these are some great tips for pros or rookies alike; When’s the last time you heard someone say move your trash can to solve a bug problem? Well it’s pros like him and those on this page sharing their wisdom and tips that only come from years of experience. Check back often because there’s a whole industry filled with people who have such valuable knowledge just like this.

I think the biggest item that I notice is that most people just grab the can when they see a bug. The first step is to identify the pests and decide if it necessary to kill the bug. In the Pest Management industry the first thing we do is an inspection. We determine what insect is visible and how it got in and then we decide on the best method.

Exclusion –stop the insect from getting in, caulk and seal or use hardware cloth to stop the animal from getting in.

It might be as simple as moving the garbage can away from the home or moving a wood pile to the back of the property.

Firewood should always be on a platform not on the ground.

If you are having problems with drain flies – cleaning the drain is the first step in pests reduction. Use Biozyme foam to keep drains clean and pests free.

You might be able to just take the bug out of the home and set it free.

So before you grab that can of bug spray, stop and then decide if it is necessary to kill the bug.
