I can tell the crew absolutely loves it when you make them put their hands out in the center and yell "another success!" or "another job well done!" or something cringy like that. but seriously you guys are really good at what you do
I had a rat in my crawl space for roughly 3 + 5 weeks. In that one month he caused 2000 dollars in structural and material damage . Completely demolished 60 ft of insulation , a hole the size of a softball in cement and at least 5 holes in drywall before he got there. He was too smart for traps until i poissened him and he got desperate for water. I had holes coming in but he came up my flood drain in the basement. worst experience of my life. Listening to him dig every night .ruining my fathers house. The twins videos helped me alot, never had a rat before. I learned alot.thanks man rip dad, got him! Got em all
I’m having this happen right now. And it’s way more damage. And this is my dads place and he recently passed away. These rats or rat will not take any bait. And I don’t want to poison them because of the awful smell. This is so terrible.
Hey Guys. You provide awesome solutions and do great work. I run a pest control service in Chicago, busy as can be. Learning to open pipe, perform a smoke test and resolving the issue has been a bit of a challenge. I appreciate your videos and I’m gonna keep tugging away. Thank you 👍🏼
Great explanation on all areas of pest control and scolding the plumber, also thank you for sharing your products you use. Furthermore, screening of sub areas and attic access is essential, to stop the traffic up-and-down making trapping more effective.
There’s a one question for you guys , I know you do your job , on a high standards here , you cut trough so many walls , specially if you visit the old houses , do you actually do any asbestos inspection, before you cut trough a drywall’s, some of them look 👀 very suspicious .
Hey guys. I worked for ORKIN for over 30 years started in sales then service mgr. spent last 20 as branch manager. You guys are great. I would of loved to work like you. I love to satisfy customers. Ray.
The twins do a good job....but i think most other pest control companies dont want to completely solve the problem as they can make more money that way by just laying traps and poison and keep revisiting the customer...keeps the money rolling in.
If these guys videos have taught me anything it’s that A) They are addictive. And B) Most plumbers and pest companies are worth crap! It seems they do the absolute minimum. The twins go the extra mile and use their actual brains! Not to mention useless builders who short cut around everything. I lived in a place where it was finally discovered that the bathtub drained directly onto the dirt floor of the crawl space. Not hooked up to the septic system at all!!
Hey guys, I seal off the drain under my tub enclosure. The rat?(now traped) Chewed to the side of the sheet metal and is back to coming and going. Can I kill it with car exhaust, I've seen you use co2 in a can but think I'd need 20 cans? And yes I'm working on sealing off the whole house but entel that's done I want this rat out!!!
Can you come to Kansas City area, I Need your help. I have, unknowingly, inherited rodent problem since house was built in 2003 by previous owner. I am assuming it might be from sewer but then again it's hard to tell. I got everything, lizards, mice, rats, squirrels, snakes...its wild here in wooded valley.
Could never understand why builders insist putting up such hard to access crawlspaces and barely enough room to crawl in there make it bigger like at least 5 ft high with a proper access door for sub trades and future service techs. Get with the program.
Wow I'm going through this right now roof rat...it's been almost a month...and we still can't find how he is getting in and out...the rat is smarter than me trap shy...no sign of it being in the attic...do all houses have a crawl space?the thing is eating up my carpet....
I sure wish you were in my area. We have been battling a rodent issue for two years now. We sealed everything we could find with an opening. We will go months without hearing anything and then they suddenly reappear. We have had two dishwashers ruined and they chewed the drain pipe under the sink I am going to throw in the towel and call a pro. I am avoiding the big name companies. I hope to get someone half as good as you. Winter is coming and they will be looking for shelter.
Bait stealers. My sister taught me a trick for that. Dog food and corn. Superglue it to the trigger pad. They try to take it bam. Then my little trick is to burn the food a little to spread the smell. Works everytime
Do u have any advice on how to catch a really smart rat that regular rat traps wont work on nothing seems to be working n it seems impossible to catch HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Yes, I would recommend we jump on a 30 minute call to better understand your environment etc. then we can direct you in the right way. Go to our link and fill out the form. Looking forward to helping you.
I've had those before the best method is either get a live trap or bait the trap a couple days don't set it he'll get comfortable eating from there then pull the switcheroo set the trap
I just wonder why American plumbing is such a mess ! I have never seen so many pipes in an attic space. Even the crawl spaces are crammed full of stuff
Those "pipes" are duct work for the vents, that roof has so many vents. Plumbing doesn't run through the roof (unless it's a fire suppression system), it's mainly in the walls (incoming water for sinks, tubs, and toilets), under/through the floor (to drain sinks, tubs, and toilets), and underground (for hose bib taps). Underfloor pipes, bathtubs installed within the floor, and possibly wiring are probably why crawlspaces look "crammed full of stuff". Yeah that's probably the first time I've ever seen a tub embedded through the floor. I'm used to seeing the tub being installed on the floor, not in it.
Why is it always rats rats rats 🐀 on this channel?? Is there no mice 🐁 in USA? Where I’m from in England 🏴, mice are the real issue. Rats are easy to catch and kill. The mice are sooo tiny and harder to spot or catch. They literally squeeze through a key hole. Its actually makes a lot of peoples life hell in London.
I disagree with your method of dealing every hole at once. Sealing every whole might in turn trap a rodent inside an area that one might not be able to get to. I recommend sealing exterior things first and once all the rodents are caught, then it would be a good idea to seal holes inside and under the house
Can’t believe how much you don’t make sense. Holes inside like that aren’t sealed off because… 1. There can be a million holes especially under insulation depending on the house, so good luck finding them, you have to charge the customer more now to close them, and don’t forget about the same holes coming from the sub area 2. 99.99% of the time closing the holes from the outside will solve the customers problem. 3. There’s other risk when closing off those types of holes, for example early in my career I wanted to close everything including holes like that, so I closed a hole in the kitchen they knew the rat was coming from, I got a call that night because the rat chewed a hole through the drywall in their daughters bedroom and was running around because it wanted to get inside and it’s usual path was blocked because of me. You guys are great because of your plumbing background and you’re learning a lot, but you paint this picture for your audience (who don’t know pest control or plumbing) that these rodent companies could be doing better or are not doing the best job. But I think you still have a lot to learn, you guys are new to this.
Appreciate the great feeeback your offering! We are constantly learning and try to push the limits utilizing technology and our 30 years of being in the home service business. We are constantly coming in after 3 to 5 rodent companies have failed to try to stop the infestation. We maybe new, but we have solved more rodent issues and have developed our own process that may not suit well with everyone, and that’s ok.
@@TwinHomeExperts you have to understand you’re dealing with the bread crumbs compared to the amount of rodent jobs pest control companies are doing/solving. So these weird rare instances where they come through the pipes are not at a fault of a pest company that can’t do plumbing as well. At least for my company I explain to the customer that this is a painful possibility at any home and isn’t included but we know the process of what needs to be done thanks to you guys. But that doesn’t make you the authority on this and it seems like the success with these rare instances goes to your head and comes out when you paint a bad picture for some companies. You guys wouldn’t be doing rodents at all if it weren’t for someone at some point taking a wild guess that they maybe are coming through the pipes somehow and decided to call a plumber in to help (you).
So are you saying you should always leave the hole that the rats come from open bc they will get frustrated that we blocked the pathway that they know?
Wow someone seems jealous, if they are coming after 2,3,4 other companies couldn’t get the job done, you’re damn right I will hire them rather than eating a lot of money with other companies
@@SubjectDredd I understand where you are coming from. They are implying that the pest control company didn't do a good job when they very well may have done everything they could within the scope of their field of expertise. Or they may have done a crap job. No way for us to know. I work with a lot of pest control companies in South Florida and by and large, they do a good job. They call me when they've done everything they could and still can't resolve the issue. We do extensive and thorough inspections and smoke testing when the plumbing is suspected to be the issue and we have a very high rate of success if the sewer and drain lines are involved. What I see watching these videos is a couple of guys weaving a story. Sometimes they take some "artistic" liberties with that story, painting themselves as the heroes of the story. That makes the pest guys the defacto not so good guys. I wish they'd take a different approach but it's not my channel so I don't have any say on it.
Rats tremble in fear when they hear the words "Twin Home Experts"
🤣🤣
How about 'mink man'
@@mp8359 rats in farm: they fear Mink Man
Rats in city: they fear Twin Home Experts
I can tell the crew absolutely loves it when you make them put their hands out in the center and yell "another success!" or "another job well done!" or something cringy like that. but seriously you guys are really good at what you do
Yeah, affirmations, excitement, and satisfaction on a job site are so cringe… only macho men who insult each other on my jobs!!
The twins make these pest control companies look bad I love it.
Only sometimes 😀😀
I have been more aware of droppings when I do plumbing for homeowners...good stuff !
Thank you my fellow plumber! 💪👍

You sure did, respect x
Best channel I've found in a decade on the TH-cams.
In NYC the wiring code is to use BX metal cable sleeves to keep the rats from chewing on the wiring causing fires .
Thx for the great tip!! NYC sewer rats are a huge problem…😖🐀🐀🐀
We need you in Texas 🙏Great work! Yes taking too long to stop the problem could result in a dangerous situation Health & Safety wise 😩

Great share and feeeback here Robert! Appreciate your support.
Just brilliant !! you always get to the source of the problem Twins!! also you're great team you have trained .
Can you add a link to be able to purchase the smoke machine you use?
Wish you were in my neck of the woods. Great thorough job.
Thanks for watching? How did you find us?
Great explanation on all areas of pest control and scolding the plumber, also thank you for sharing your products you use. Furthermore, screening of sub areas and attic access is essential, to stop the traffic up-and-down making trapping more effective.
What is that metal wire used for exclusion and where can I buy it?
Great content we need longer videos
great job guys i hate them things
Attention to details is the key.
🥰🥰
Love your channel guys ;)

You guys are doing all this work in some horrible conditions In those suits in that heat and still l showing level of concentration.

Thanks so much Ray! We truly appreciate you taking the time and offering feedback, especially from someone in the business for 30 years.
Why didn't you guys use the twinzyme for this job?
The twins do a good job....but i think most other pest control companies dont want to completely solve the problem as they can make more money that way by just laying traps and poison and keep revisiting the customer...keeps the money rolling in.

Pretty cool that you can call up previous contractors and get information. How do you foster that kind of relationship with your competitors?
When your authentic and honest it ALWAYS prevails. We also have to take majo criticism from the transparency we offer weekly.
Whats the difference between that spray you used vs your twinzyme?
Hey guys, I seal off the drain under my tub enclosure. The rat?(now traped) Chewed to the side of the sheet metal and is back to coming and going.

Best experts' you are.
Wondering why you didn’t sanitize the inside of the pipe before sealing it off
I'm obsessed with all of your videos
Katie! This is awesome 👏 😀😀

Hello Pamela! No, not all homes have crawl space. If your hearing activity inside your walls, more then likely coming from plumbing.
@@TwinHomeExperts thanks so much for this information. Haven't heard anything in the walls yet....hahaha wish me luck.
Rats,mice,snakes or whatever the animal is they can squeeze through the smallest of holes or cracks.

Were was your brother on this one??
I needed a break 😂
Apple Bees has rats!
Help us we have mice it’s not that bad though
The attic needs proper ventilation. I see mold all
Over the studs. Needs to be wiped down and disinfected with anti-microbials.
And incapsulated
The poop on the roof was raccoon poop they can make a big mess
Sucks you guys aren’t in Nj. So many trash companies we have 😢
How do you find and vet these business' when you have to sign a contract?
A shame we can’t clone you men around the USA!
That was racoon shit on the roof.
