1.00How to choose and deal with a lawn pest control company?
Q.I am considering to sign up a two year contract with the Southern Pest Control company for the lawn and termites treatment. I have had previous negative experiences with other lawn pest control companies, where a perfectly green and healthy lawn got weeds and dry patches. Maybe I need to change my approach?
Please share your experience with the Southern Pest Control company, if you use them.
Thanks!
A.There's accumulated advice on making a good choice in the page: http://www.drdons.net/choose.htm
Rmember that you are primarily after the pest management and not just regular pesticide application. Hire guys that think about what they are doing.
1.00What are the similarities and differences between carpenter ants and termites?
Q.Do carpenter ants ever come out from behind walls? do they eat anything else besides wood?
A.Found out the hard way.
Carpenter ants & termites cause considerable damage to wood.
Termites nest & live in the wood they are eating.
Carpenter ants nest outside the home & do not generally invade occupied spaces ( at least where you can see them).
Would occaisonaly see one or 2 ants where they were coming in.
Never saw termites running around , except when they have their wings but, saw some & the damage they were doing during some renovation.
Pest control guy told me to pick them up w/ some clear tape so he could identify them & gave me what I needed since a professional whole house de- bugging would be $$$s .
My home is block built so the infestation was limited.
The garage was another story.
The big black carpenter ants had nested in some firewood & had a ball on door framing.
The little white grubby termites are harder to deal with.
Had success ( I think) by dusting door threshholds w/ a powder I got from the pest control store & getting rid of the rotten firewood..
Best regards

1.00Is Pest control a decent paying job for a man to support his family?
Q.I have been working in the Pest Control field for almost a year now, and I love it! I enjoy everything about my job. But right now I am kind of at a cross roads and my wife and I are about to start a family. I would like to hear from individuals who are raising a family on a pest control salary. Is this a well paying career? Obviously I am not looking to be rich, but I would like to stay in the pest management field if it is a good career to have.

1.00Do I have to clear out cabinets and kitchen for pest control in an apartment?
Q.Hi! I have never lived in an apartment so I am unsure. I woudn't think they would have all people do that, it would be like chaos.... people work, people don't have time..
Idk, I am really confused. Would their pest control get in my food in the pantry and the dishes in the cabinets?
drP - pest control is mandatory on all apartments you bitch. I don't have a pest. It is just routine stuff they do.
A.You should talk to the pest control people (such as Orkins etc.). When we first had them come over, they sprayed underneath the sink and around the walls on the floor but not into our cabinets where we keep our dishes.
1.00Can anyone please suggest whether to go for Pest control and then professional cleaning or the otherway round?
Q.We are moving to apartment that is kept very untidy and there are roaches all around. Planning to get the pest control and professional cleaning done. Not sure which one has to be done first. Will cleaning after pest control take away the effect of pest control? Thanks.
A.Yeah, do the cleaning after the pest control, since you wouldn't want cockroaches crawling around you and the cleaners, etc.
