Drax Ant Gel Bait


Drax ant gel is a great product that comes in both protein and sugar. I remember drax from back in the day when it came in the Elmer's glue looking bottle, I loved it then and I love it now. Ants are finicky eaters and being able to bait with both protein and sugar is an advantage in the dual version. A perfect tool to use in your arsenal against ants.

Snap-E- Mouse Trap Coovers


Great product to place snap traps in which allows you to place the covered traps in common areas like counter tops, cabinets, or along the walls safely without worrying about the mess of the snap or kids or pets getting snapped. Kness had a good idea here with the Snap-E Mouse trap covers.

Powder Trap




Here is a good trap against cluster flies...fits on the window sill, catching the flies and acting as quick sand. Flies in the winter become a problem in winter and the colder months in offices and homes and the powder trap seems to be a good tool in the battle against these cluster flies.

Humane mouse trap


The green bottle mouse trap has a cool product that uses old soda bottles and a devise that you attach to to the bottle cap area, allowing the mouse to enter the bottle, but not be able to get back out. This is a great green and humane way to catch mice. Not a bad idea the green bottle USA company came up with.

Ground Nesting Wasp Dust


Any kind of dust that control bees will work to kill ground nesting wasps and bees if inserted in and around the nesting hole. Apicide is a good choice as are others. Treatment of a ground nesting wasp hole is risky and should be handled by a professional.

NulliFly


Small flies are often drain or fruit flies. Here is one company that addresses these buggers with natural bacteria that eat away at the slime and grime that causes the breeding of these flies in the drains. They have a foam product that I think is one of the best ways to treat the drain as it expands and coats the drain walls where this slime builds up.

Japanese Beetle Trap


Japanese beetle traps work to catch the adult beetles that fly around and bother you and your lawn. The best time to place these out would be in Mid-June and to keep them out until the fall. Many of these traps are available online or at your local home store.

Benificial Japanese Beetle Nematodes


One way to control the grubs of Japanese Beetles is the use of beneficial nematodes. They are available online. These nematodes act as an insect predator...seeking to kill the grubs.

Phantom Aerosol


Phantom in a can. It's about time. Easy to carry...easy to use. The new formulation dries in crystals to set up better on porous surfaces. Glad to see that BASF developed this fantastic product in the can form. Kills ants, roaches, bed bugs, and many other pests.

Liqua Tox


Liquid Mouse Bait? Sure. Liqua Tox is perfect in a dry environment like a warehouse where there may be a rodent problem. These need to be set up in special bait dispensers, but it is a highly effect means of control.

Kill boxelders dead

Looking for the perfect silver bullet to get rid of those pesky box elder bugs that seem to over take the sunny side of your building or home? Well I wish I could deliver, but I can't. This problem needs to be dealt with by good old fashioned elbow grease. Inside you need to vacuum them away, outside you need to spray them down with soapy water. Mix up a cup or two of cloths detergent in a gallon sprayer, lightly mix so not to get over run by suds, and spray away. Get them as they cluster in clumps and watch as they fall away dead. Good luck.

Terro Ant Gel


One of the best products out there for ants in my opinion is terro ant bait. This product does the job of attracting the ants to it and later on that indigestion they are feeling will kill them. Great ant product!

Premise Foam Termiticide


Coming to a termite swarm near you, Premise Foam Termiticide is a product to add to the tool box to get into voids where termites are suspected to be and traditional liquid termiticide can not help. The foam fills the void, coating the walls of the void, killing the termites. Use with a traditional treatment. As always use caution and follow the label for safety. Termite elimination and control can be attained if you are equipped with the right tools, and Premise Foam is one of those tools.

Intice Ant Bait Gel


Here is an orthoboric acid gel bait that ants can not resist. I think ant gels are the best because they seem to attract ants like a magnet, especially sweet feeding ants. This is one to try for sure.

Termidor. Good. Bad.


I still say that termidor is one of the best products out there for termite elimination today. I still have fresh in my head the story I heard at a seminar when they said the termite job that was done on a home also killed the colony several yards away that was feeding on a fire wood pile. Good Stuff.

Box Elder B-Gone


Box elder bugs are relentless in that they tend to come back year after year. It almost seems like all you can do is try to control them, rather than eliminate them. There is a product on the market called Box Elder B-Gone that is claiming to help you get rid of these pests. They claim to be safe and friendly to the environment. Definitely worth a look. Box Elder B-Gone.

Catchmaster mouse glue traps


Winter time means mice and one way to catch mice is with the use of glue traps. I always felt the best brand of mouse traps was catchmaster brand glue boards. Place them out in areas you think mice a re frequenting or will visit if they come in.
