I currently work for Orkin and I will tell you, most people don’t really care about there job as it’s just a job for them. It’s my job to point out conducive conditions for whatever pest might try infiltrate the home. If your pest tech isn’t constantly telling you to cut back trees, seal this or watch out for this in the coming months, than they aren’t doing there job right and are there for a check. Great work and take all the accounts of lack luster techs. Good job Dan.
Nothing is funnier than slowing playback to .25 during a possible scare scene. And today Dan the Man, you sounded hilarious as you pulled out the mouse nest in the garage. Really glad to see your videos in my feed. You've done very well for yourself, and that comes across as never working a day in your life cause you love what you do.
My home was vacant over the winter and I made the mistake of leaving a sealed bag of deer corn in my living room (which they gnawed into) ... It was so so bad when I returned in the spring 😞😞🐁🐁🐭🐭
I hate basements for this very reason. My drop ceiling down there looks the same way. Can't find where they're coming from but I suspect it's the AC condensation drain line. I've had House mouse (the cute ones) and the field mouse (generic looking mice) . I'm always paranoide about touching the traps because I heard you're not supposed to get your scent on it. I guess if they were concerned about scent they would have picked another house.
Not a good idea to broadcast bait blocks up in a drop ceiling or on top of air ducts unless you plan on retrieving it at some point. Just because it’s in a place not accessible to non target animals doesn’t mean it won’t eventually wind up on the floor. Also, you’re not supposed to put multiple baits in one station unless they all contain the same active ingredient…which most likely they don’t. They should be secured and carded with date/active ingredient information.
Any bait even in a station COULD end up out of the station or on the floor. They they all have the same active ingredient that was labeled with a sticker ☺️ thanks for the comment and support
@@DanTheBugMan They are far less likely to make it out of a bait station if they are secured onto a rod vs just tossed around in a drop or on top the duct work. It’s not a bad idea, but you should at the very least make it retrievable by running them through a metal wire or something to that effect…I use coat hanger wire. You’re running the risk of someone’s pet, or worse someone’s kid getting into someday.
@@DanTheBugMan Also, you are correct in saying that the active ingredients are “similar”. They’re all second generation anti coagulants, but technically they are not the same. Probably difethialone and brodifacoum.
@plapnab I didn’t say they were similar. I said they were the same - Bromadiolone. Here’s a direct quote from the label “Apply bait in locations out of reach of children, pets, domestic animals, and nontarget wildlife, or in tamper-resistant bait stations”
@@DanTheBugMan Agree to disagree I guess. Just keep in mind, that stuff is going to be there as long as the house exists…or, until someone removes it. Sorry if you feel I’m trying to call you out. Love the videos…you do great work.
@@plapnab it's not required, but mice and rats go mainly by feel and smell. They can possibly smell you off them stations especially if you use the tobacco
I bait rat station all the time without gloves 🧤 still get results I try to touch the bait little as possible just as a precaution but I’m still touching it
You got your camera and your rodent poison and you're a pest control professional. You MAY have addressed the problem temporarily, but you've done nothing to eliminate it. They'll be back, and so will another pest control company. You need to address entry points and do exclusionary work. Find any cracks or holes larger than your pinky and seal with rodent foam or 000 steel wool. When you removed the nest, there was a conduit with a piece of romex run through it. That's not to code (and not your problem) but it's a great super highway for mice to travel. Never let them see the fear in your eyes.
I recently was hired on with orkin coming from EcoShield. I can honestly say most major companies do not refill the stations unless the customer brings it to their attention.
@DanTheBugMan big named companies near my area aren't good lol . Half the time they don't check baits at all, they don't fully get rid of the problem so the customer keeps them coming back and on the hook
It's common for the big name pest control companies to not check the stations or do the best job. With such a high turnover rate they hire new people all the time without experience and for many of them it's just a job. I love pest control and reason being I also chose to start my own pest control business.
They love soft baits resolv first strike have been game changers. I lost an account once cause a mouse ran out, and i jumped. lve grabbed live rats by the tail before. It's just human nature to get startled. Im definitely not afraid of them.
I have to ask, why are so many religious people so delusional. I believe in God and Jesus but I also don't believe every word in the bible. How and when the earth was created is not really important to me.
Dan, i hope you realise you are breaking several label laws. You're a business owner. This is very reckless, especially filming yourself breaking laws. NCDA will fine you heavily when someone reports you or they pay a visit for evaluation.
Directly from the label “Apply bait in locations out of reach of children, pets, domestic animals, and nontarget wildlife, or in tamper-resistant bait stations.” Hope this helps everyone understand 🎉
@DanTheBugMan you contained 3 different types of rodenticide in one container. Each rodenticide has to be in their right container with the correct EPA and REG number. And you also aren't wearing correct PPE winter glove and bare hands. I'm just trying to help you out. Clearly, I'm a follower.

There was a gap underneath the garage door you could see daylight coming in underneath the door perfect entry point.

I've also had snakes in my basement ceiling. That's my pest control. That and the kittehs.
I like it!

3:29, does the traps need bait? see saw traps
I toss salad at the restaurant where I work and I saw a mouse one time.
You should never have relations with a coworker.
@@richbooth8948😂that’s nuts
You are a HOOT Dan! LOL
Still waiting on an update of the broom cockroach house lol

Yes very good point. Mice really dont care too much about scent! And yes the drop ceiling is classic for mice

Mice run along walls because they have poor eyesight and use their wiskers to touch the wall to know where they are😮
Exclude, exclude, exclude
Did a lot of Mice Work When i was in Pest Control. I hated Too.😡
I don't like them due to call backs. I live doing wasps, fast, good money, and rarely come back .
Haha yes!! Something about them. I think because they are fast and can bite!
@DanTheBugMan yeah but it makes for a great story. Customers always ask me what the craziest thing I've seen .
Those poor people- the clean up is going to be crazy. All the droppings in the drop ceiling- unfortunately they urinate everywhere-.
But you’re touching all the traps without gloves….
Maybe It’s just been drilled into my head that mice and rats can smell us and will stay away from the traps.
Gloves aren't required PPE for these products. However, it's probably a good idea.

So you have Same bait station setup as orkin, just different bait ? I'm genuinely curious I see sometimes you have A-Holes in the comments
I'm not sure exactly what they were doing. It's possible they weren't even refilling those stations.
I recently was hired on with orkin coming from EcoShield. I can honestly say most major companies do not refill the stations unless the customer brings it to their attention.

@@RealeyeztruecolorzI want to start my own pest control business as well. I'm a utility tech at a company right now. Any advice for me?
They love soft baits resolv first strike have been game changers.
I lost an account once cause a mouse ran out, and i jumped.
lve grabbed live rats by the tail before. It's just human nature to get startled. Im definitely not afraid of them.
They fired you cuz you got startled? Did you shriek or something? If not what dicks
I had a rat jump on me before too!!! Not fun!
The house mice here won’t touch Contrac
Only 50ft away from nest? That's not far really.
My comment got deleted on previous video, but that's OK.:)
Those mouse traps have terrible ratings online
Oh yeah and it every state ORKIN SUX!!
13000 years BC - rodents terrorising us. That's before the heavens and earth were created ONLY 6000 years 😢ago.
It is a proven fact that Earth has been around a LOT longer than 6,000 years.
I have to ask, why are so many religious people so delusional. I believe in God and Jesus but I also don't believe every word in the bible. How and when the earth was created is not really important to me.
