    I use to be guilty of that years ago. Call a pest control guy, expect him to just spray everywhere but didn't realize I could get super sick or even die from the chemicals. So now every 6 months I am on his list to just show up. Guys like you Dan are under-appreciated. Great video

Also some people just don't understand how pesticides work like at all.

    I have a problem with a brown widow infestation and they are starting to nest under the cars which makes it even more difficult to get rid of since i normally use fire to burn em and their eggs sachs. But i feel like im losing this battle. Its gotten to the point where im even scared to walk outside and run into their webs because unlike their cousins the black widow, the brown widow leaves their webs open.
    Any advice?

    Hey Dan I have a question I own my own pest control business . I don't do Mosquito Service but I want to start. How does it work on the warranty and is it a one time or a maintenance service. Let me know thanks 👍

    • @jsb7546
      @jsb7546 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's a maintenance service if you can't get all the breeding grounds under control typically if I go in to do residential I can go around and tell them to get rid of any standing water than go in with a pyrethroid and IGR and just fog it and usually they are good but if they have persistent problems than yes it will be a matinenece thing. If you can't get rid of standing water even with larvicide depending on the situation you may still need to regularly service them I find it really just depends but mostly I'd say it's a matinenece thing. Especially if you have vector trucks and you work for local governing bodies like I'm in Nevada and in the middle of nowhere Nevada at that so me and my boss are the only guys out here so it works pretty well for us even tho we don't do much mosquito work only really by the few ponds in our town are they a real problem but added with the noxious weed work we do for our towns local pd and other parts of the local government and all the general pest services we provide it's not a bad gig. Me personally if I get to own my business one day I'd like to add as much as I can Id like to do disinfection, termite work and fumigation but all good things take time right. Oh and as far as warranty I think every guy is different my boss personally doesn't warranty them but I think he is a cheap ass so.

    • @DanTheBugMan
      @DanTheBugMan  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey! We do a every 3 week (21 days) service from April 15- September 30th. We do warrant service so if a customer complains about mosquitoes and it’s right in the middle of the 21 days then we go back for free. But that hardly ever happens
