Helping You Help Us Help You

We want to help you, but sometimes you need to help us help you. For example if your technician tells you not to use that  expensive over-the-counter product you just bought, he's not trying to be bossy. It means that it may counter-act his product and undo all the progress you already made. It is as though your Doctor prescribed an MAO inhibitor, but your yoga teacher told you take St Johns Wort. I know you're trying to help, but sometimes help means following the professionals advice.
   Another way you can help your Pest Management Professional is through sanitation. If he tells you that you need to improve sanitation at your home or business, he is not trying to insult you. He is only trying to explain why you are having a problem and how you can prevent it from re-occuring.
     Suppose you have ants in the kitchen. Spray treatments rarely work on ants, so your tech wants to try a bait. If the ants have some tasty grease under the stove or FrootLoops under the fridge, they might not go for the bait. If you had a delicious sushi platter, you wouldn't look twice at a fish stick.
    Speaking of maintanance, many problems start from dirty gutters. They clog up and the water sits in them and softens the wood. Then some Carpenter Ants move in and weaken the wood even more. Now a squirrel finds the weak wood and chews in so she can have a place to give birth.  Next a raccoon finds the squirrel hole and makes it bigger. Pretty soon you have a re-enactment of The Lion King going on in your attic. And all this could have been prevented by cleaning out your gutters.
    So call us for all your pesty problems and we will tell what needs to be done. We can give you an estimate on gutter cleaning, repairs  or even cleaning your kitchen.
