Question: Termites inside the house. Need Firstline indoor bait stations.

Answer : Unfortunately we do not carry bait stations for indoor installation. However, we do carry Termiticides that you can use for spot treatment inside the wall void or floor areas where you may be seeing an active infestation.

Q      : We have what appears to be a localized infestation of termites in the walls of our main bathroom. Is it reasonable to think we could use some baits outside and foam inside the walls to eradicate this? Or can we only use an exterminator to do the job? If so, what would be the most effective means to do so?

A       : A do it yourself treatment will help you save a lot of money rather than hiring an exterminator to complete the job for you. All the products that we carry are the same professional grade products that professionally licensed pest control operators’ use.  As long as the product is a registered product in your state, you are able to legally purchase the chemicals for personal use. When an active infestation is spotted chemical treatment is always recommended. For outdoor treatment, trenching would be a preferred method. For indoor treatment, spot treatment with in the wall void areas would be highly recommended as well. After the chemical treatment has been finished, installing bait stations around the home would be a good follow up treatment to keep track of the termite activity in your area.

Q      : HELP! I need help getting rid of fleas. IS the archer IGR the product that I need? WIll it get rid of the ones that are alive plus the ones in the other stages?

A       : The Archer IGR solely prohibits the fleas from reaching a stage of reproduction. It will not have a killing effect. Therefore it is best recommended to be used along with a concentrated liquid insecticide such as Demize EC which will kill the fleas in all of its stages.

Q: Are Fleas invisable to the naked eye? Can they be cleared off your body?

A: Fleas are visible to the naked eye, but you would probably have to peer in very closely and maybe even use a magnifying glass to see them clearly. Most people tend to not see them because fleas hop around so much. Unfortunately, they cannot be cleared directly off your body, but we do have a wide variety of products available to kill fleas :Flea Control Products

Question  : My neighbor’s yard has lubber grasshoppers. What product do you suggest to eliminate them. I don’t want the critters in my yard. Please advise.

Answer  : Deltagard G Granules would be a highly recommended product for grasshopper control. It contains a residual time so it will continue to kill even after the initial application of the granular for about 2-3 months.
