Wow! Lot’s of criticism in here. The one thing that made me raise an eyebrow was the open tub of intice ant bait next to a tub of delta dust, while filling the duster. With that in mind pretty much no separation of bait to pesticides.
Again that power sprayer is set too low because it doesn't seem to have any pressure the way he is jiggling the handle trying to get it to spray better
Wow, some of you service techs are brutal! One thing I was curious about is the fact that he went W/granular bait and decided to do an exterior powers spray ? Which the spray would contaminate the bait. I definitely wouldn't "bash" the technician though, because I'm sure we all share the same background. If you issues, it may be a training issue, not a performance issue. But training does spell performance. If there's hardwood floors of course concentrate on (cracks/crevices ) as stated on the label, or use a material less harmful to wood surfaces.
If this happened in Georgia, and this video was posted the Dept of AG would fine the tech on so many violations he would lose his license to apply pesticides . The company would lose its licensee to operate and someone would likely be facing jail time. Spraying baseboards is not only illegal, but it is an unnecessary over-application of pesticides inside of someones living environment. The fan spray {general surface} in the garage ( with Talstar- as stated by the narrator ) is a label violation. And applying both a bait and a repellent on the exterior is counter-productive. The application of a dust to the weep holes without the use of a respirator is a safety violation and a label violation as well and is illegal. Additionally, the tech filled the duster without a respirator, another safety/label violation. The tech also treated the yard, again illegal outside of 10ft, without posting a yard sign, another violation. Son, the fines are adding up and the total disregard of the label would set you up for some time in jail.
"Spraying baseboards is not only illegal," LOL. What? The label LITERALLY SAYS TO SPRAY BASEBOARDS. You are either: 1. Not a licensed PCO 2. Insane Pick one or both.
@@TheMyamicahVision No it's not in Georgia label is law simple as that if the label says it can be applied to the baseboards then it is fine but most companies have their techs do crack and crevice
Weird question but any idea if a product like Bifen IT, Tempo SC or Suspend will harm car paint? I have a swarm of ants on my 4 cars with thousands of ants walking around and I'd like to retire them before they go back to their nests.
The Revelation I am PC tech and I never spray in kid’s room that is a huge no no where I work. When you treat the inside he basically went overkill. Suppose to be spot treatments on the indoors. When I Webster I make sure to knock down spider webs on the downspout. He accidentally mixed dust in with his granular bait which can contaminate it. Everything else i didn’t have a problem with.

Jason Webb do you like your career? Is the money enough to have a family? I’m in Virginia and will try to start this next year. Trying to get as much information as possible.
I’m a residential pest control tech as well and this video is not as bad as the comments make it seem. Pretty normal service. lighten up folks🤣. I will admit he did apply a little too much chem. Only 3feet up and out on the INITIAL service
Not true about the application of the pesticide. Each pesticide has different bandwith/amount per sq ft applications so his application for all treatments may be the same bandwidth/amount per sq ft every time.
@brahmakamal...to start your pest control business in India you will first need to read extensively on how to treat the "little black bugs" as well as lizard control... And don't forget to read the actives as well as mode of action for all the medicines you intend to applicate.
Please stop ! You’re wrong on more than one occasion ! I’ve been in pest control for more than 15 years ! And you’re providing wrong information to customers who had no knowledge of pest control ! 😑
I would never feel comfortable for anyone go in to my baby's room full of toys and spraying like that. Kids put stuff into their month. How much of washing and cleaning you have to do after all that spray?! And the question of if it's all cleaned will be in our head at all time.
When I worked for other people I had to use the tank sprayer but lots of customers didn't like the hose being dragged around their landscaping so I agree the flow zone is the modern way to go
I agree,when I worked for home paramount they went with the 50 gallon tank and hose sprayer. Many customers complained the hose dragging through their landscaping was not acceptable so some of those I just used granules or the B AND G hand sprayer.a Flo zone would have been great but no way they were going that route due to the expense but I have one for myself now
86 bux for a quarterly service in 2013 what are they now and what state .a lot of disgruntled wanna bees in comments ,they always do that, mine are averaging $ 100 in the charlotte area
I'm starting a job as a pest/termite control tech on Monday in Tennessee. After reading these comments, I am a little nervous lol. I have no clue as to what to expect as the owner was quick to hire me. 10 minute interview and hired on the spot. The owner only mentioned 3 months of training and certification with the state, aside from the pay, days and hours. To the techs out there, are you timed on the customers "quotas" homes each day? How does your lunch break work? I'm assuming I get 1 hour for lunch since it's a 9 hour a day schedule. On average, how many houses does 1 tech do per day?
Okay I how have no experience in this want to know, where to find the correct methods. To me this fellow made sense, been watching many this morning. You who do, say this is miss information could you recommend other sources. Thanks
Do it in Australia we don’t have stupid restrictions like don’t spray slabs, also a year of training helps, and more comprehensive spraying this video would kill almost nothing
Why would you treat weap holes after spraying because cross contamination isn't real lol....also did you see how much dust drifted ...also where are his shoe covers....not a good idea to spray the customers garden hose.....I just see a tech that's careless and in a hurry
Justin Atwell cross contamination can occur if you treat ants with fipronil spray and then do an external spray for spiders and roaches with bifenthrin which is a deterant which negates the ant sprays theory of use
Dusting weep holes seems to be not only redundant but even dangerous to apply due to wind drift.the outside liquid treatment already covers those and once dust gets wet is mostly useless except for drione
He sprayed across front door threshold, it's not safe, people walk barefoot and can possible step on areas sprayed. Still apply product in a safe manner.
MrMotivation247 Spraying the threshold is common and an entry point for bugs. People can walk anywhere they want barefoot, even on grass if they want. Don't be dumb.
The technician of the first video, who applies the liquid in the video, does not know how to apply with good technique, he must learn more, how he knows how to work pest control,
i am studying to pass my test to get a job in pest control this guy dose everything that the book says not too do how the fock is he preventing run off, drift and plants that may be harmed bye the spray also you don't want to spray the paint on the wall the spray will eat at the pain uggg
What era are you reading the test materials.you must be reading the Purdue book which is a about 100 percent been debunked by all the modern technology
Why does he spray inside so quickly and not inspecting the areas before or as he sprays? He also does not wear the most important PPE- a face mask for the pesticides he is spraying?

Second if he adjusted to the fine mist setting on the B and G he wouldn't have to worry about floors especially if you are using a decent product like demand cs. What is the seal with that power spray? Get a pump that works if your gonna put up a video. HE should have pin sprayed that whole house, That bullshit barrier he put up was horrible

Throw the papers from glue boards in back of truck so it can fly out and liter the neighbor hood u might wanna go over this video before u do another one
Placing bait granules where you just sprayed just wasted your ant bait ,if you treat the perimeter soil you can put the ant bait where they will use for harborage plus you shouldn't put any bait that close to the house to pull the ants toward you want to pull ants away from the house

85% of pest are controlled from the outside . No need to apply product all over inside of the house just entry points and spot treatments.
Facts
Outside is the most important unless you are dealing with German roaches and sometimes an ant infestation is treating the inside really needed

Your state only allows spot applications on a exterior slab, but doesnt mind if you carry chemical in the back of a open truck?
Spot applications are a joke.just treat like you need to and put spot on your paperwork and nobody from the state even has time to be that nitpkicky
They do insist that everything be secured
Like one state inspector told me just treat the house like it needs to be done and you do the ticket by the book
That's why.mine is secured plus I don't want equipment shifting and damaging expensive items

First of all, you didn´t do a visual inspection to find out what kind of pest you´re dealing with.

Placing bait granules where you just sprayed just wasted your ant bait ,if you treat the perimeter soil you can put the ant bait where they will use for harborage plus you shouldn't put any bait that close to the house to pull the ants toward you want to pull ants away from the house
Why someone would treat the inside on every single service is beyond me sounds like a waste of time and product unless your treating just the interior
Depends on the customer.ultimately your customer is the boss unless they ask you to do something not on label
Just horrible
