Pest control products distributors

Ever wonder where professionals go to buy their pest control products? There are several distributors that only sell to professionals or require a license to buy product from. In fact, there are a few products that the state will require a license as it is a law. These products are called restricted use products. Things like mouse tracking powder is on this list. As far as distributors that will distribute only to professionals businesses like Univar USA and Residex come to mind. Many will sell to both professionals but won't turn away another business or person looking for product. Lesco is a company that sells to pest control companies as well as golf courses. Sub-distributors will sometimes sell to the public.

RAT IN MY TOILET!

So you are afraid of having a rat swim up your soil pipe and make his way to your toilet. How would that be for a surprise on dark night when you lift the toilet lid! This is a problem that arises every so often, especially in old row homes that have toilets in their basements. There is a product that will work to exclude the rat from entering your toilet and it is called the Rat Guard, rat toilet excluder, or toilet flap. You snap it into the bottom of the toilet and it flaps down when you flush letting the waste leave the bowel and then flap up when the water fills back into the toilet, making it difficult for a rat to enter. They are hard to find these days, but if you scour the Internet I am sure you will come up with one.

LiceGuard Robi Comb

What a great idea this is. The terror that overcomes a parent when they hear that their child has lice is incredible. It means a ton of work is ahead for them and the treatment of the hair is the biggest issue. You used to have to fumble with combs and products like Rid to kill the lice and you could never be sure if what you were looking at was actually a louse or not. All that craziness until now. The LiceGuard Robi Comb actually makes a humming sound as you comb through the child's hair and the humming stops when the comb encounters a louse. It then zaps the lice with an electrical impulse that kills the louse! How high tech is that! It sounds to me to be a fantastic way to deal with this problem that will be popping up since school has started. Get zapping!

The waspinator is an ingenious product that works to keep yellow jackets away by way of smoke and mirrors. The bees think there is a competitive hive and will stay away. They are actually afraid of getting attacked by the bees in the waspinator. What an idea!

Combat roach gel works fantastically on roaches and is a product that consumers can use when they can't get their hands on maxforce roach gel. They both use the same active ingredient.

Combat has been around for a long time and there is a good reason for that. It works.

What is the characteristics of dust when they come in contact with moisture? It clumps, breaks down, hardens, becomes useless. Now what if I told you there was a dust that defied the laws of dust? A dust that could float on water. A dust that was moisture resistant. Well that is just what Delta Dust is and it is a fantastic product when it comes to using it in areas where there is or could be high moisture.

Tick Tubes

A great product called tick tubes can be placed around your yard. The tube is infused with permethrin. As mice and other rodents that host the ticks collect nesting materials (tick tubes),the ticks are exposed in the nesting site of the rodent. Love this idea.

Talpirid Mole Bait

Moles can reek havoc on a person's lawn and there is nothing more frustrating than spending a lot of time and money on your lawn, only to have it ripped up by moles! Who are these creatures of destruction? They feed mostly on insects and love, love, love earthworms. Their appetite is incredible and their metabolism is super high. They are active all year which means they do not hibernate. They breed in late winter or early spring which means you can look for a boost in activity about 10 weeks later. They build tunnels like the English with a primary run, and exploratory run, and deep tunnels. Last but not least. They damage lawns.So how do get rid of them? Well there are all kinds of traps and devises you can uses, but lately there is a product being used by the professional pest controllers called Talpirid from Bell Laboratories. It is a poison bait that mimics an earth worm. One "worm" contains a lethal dose and they are easy to apply. This product is not available at your local hardware store, but pest control operators can get it and it is working like hot cakes! Happy hunting!

Fly control

In a previous entry I reviewed a product by Bayer called Maxforce Fly Spot bait. I used this product myself over the weekend and it looks like it might be the next miracle products to eliminate flies. I used it around a bush that was attracting flies like crazy and minutes after the application they were "dropping like flies" . Great product!

Gypsy Moth Trap

It seems like gypsy moths are all the rage so I thought I'd look into some gypsy moth traps that are available. One that came to mind was the old stand by Gypsy Moth Trap by Safer. It comes with the trap, lure and two bags. The lure lasts 12 weeks. Aside from Chemical treatments I think these traps work fantastically.
