LIVING AREAS: Inspec tion and Treatment

Living areas, although usually not closely associated with food or moisture conditions, do sometimes experience

the symptoms of pest problems. These are sensitive areas in the home that many homeowners insist on being

pest free. Usually these areas require nothing more than inspection, but on occasion can harbor a pest problem.

Hearth

Inspect the hearth area for evidence

of moisture leaks in adjacent wall or

ceiling areas. Also inspect firewood for

evidence of insects transported inside.

Ants, beetles, spiders, scorpions

Windows

Inspect the windows throughout the

home. Check to see that they are

sealed, free of moisture issues, and

have screens in good repair.

Spiders, ants, flying insects

Pet Bedding

Inspect the bedding and adjacent areas

that ticks may use for harborages.

Fleas, ticks

Potted PlantsCheck potted plants

for evidence of pests which may have

been brought in from the outside.

Ants, spiders, fungus gnats

1.) CRACK & CREVICE TREATMENT

Putting it all together in a successful treatment plan.

Treatment techniques are the actions taken to solve pest problems.

They are options that focus on how the prescriptions will be implemented.

4.) ULV SPACE TREATMENT

3.) SPOT TREATMENT

2.) VOID TREATMENT

Definition: The application of small amounts of insecticide into cracks and crevices in whichinsects hide or through which they may enter a building.

Concept: Deliver the insecticide to a specific location where it is likely to impact thepest with little or no impact on the area surrounding the treatment site. It is oftenused in sensitive areas where pesticide exposure is an important consideration.

Flush insects as part of inspection Kill insects living in or travelling through cracks

Common pests: Bedbugs, cockroaches, silverfish, spiders.

Product formulations commonly used: Residual insecticide,contact insecticide, bait

Definition:Application to enclosed spaces where insects may live, hide or travel.

Concept: Make the void uninhabitable or impassible (exclusion); or kill insects present within thevoid space.

Flush insects from their harborage for inspection; identifyinfested sites

Repel insects from living in or travelling throughvoid spaces

Common pests: Wasp/bees, ants, silverfish, bedbugs, boxelder bugs, Asian lady beetles, clusterfiles.

Product formulations commonly used: Residual dust, contact insecticide

Definition: Surface application to limited areas where insects are likely to be present notexceeding two square feet in area.

Concept: Expose insects to insecticide as they come in contact with, congregate on or crawlacross treated surfaces.

Prevent pest entry from outdoors Make individual spot applications or a series of closely spaced

spot treatments Use for general maintenance of crawling insects in insect

prone areas

Common pests: Most crawling insects.

Product formulations commonly used: Residual insecticide, especially micro-encapsulated

Definition: Treatment to a volume of space with relatively small amounts of non-residual insecticidewith droplets having a mass median diameter of 20 microns or less to control the exposedstages of flying and crawling insects.

Concept: Kill or control flying insects or crawling insects by exposing them to small droplets ofinsecticide delivered and dispersed into the air. The insecticide contacts the insect as the smalldroplets travel through the air or fall from suspension in the air.

Control flying insects and exposed crawling insects incomplex environments

A good option in areas to which access is limited

Common pests: Flies, mosquitoes, stored product moths, spiders.

Product formulations commonly used: Contact insecticide

6.) PERIMETER TREATMENT

9.) MONITORING/TRAPPING

8.) BAITING

7.) EXCLUSION

Definition: Broadcast application to exterior areas of structures.

Concept:Reduce pest pressures by impacting reservoir sites and interception zones around the hom e.

Reservoir sites which provide resources that allow pest populationsto b uild nea r thestructure. (mulch beds, plantings, garbage areas, etc.)

Interception zones are harborages or access points for pests on the structure(foundations, soffits, vents, entries, penetrations in siding, etc.)

Common pests: Most common crawling and flying insects.

Product formulations commonly used: Microencapsulated insecticide, granular insecticide,granular bait

Definition:Protecting an area against pest access either by mechanical alteration or by renderingaccess points and harborage impassable via chemical repellency.

Concept:Alter the environment so pests cannot pass through.

Chemical exclusion repels pests from the area and prevents pests from enteringor harboring

Physical exclusion seals off access to cracks/voids

Common pests:Ants, cockroaches, spiders.

Product formulations commonly used: Repellent dust, repellent residual spray, caulk,screening or other sealing material

Definition: The use of an attractive food matrix combined with an effective toxicant designedto kill the target pest.

Concept: Place bait in locations where targeted pests will feed. As the bait is consumed, thetoxicant kills the pest. Choose best bait formulation based on target insect and treatment site.

Placed in cracks and crevices for cockroachesApplied along foraging trails for ants Scattered in resource/harborage areas for crickets Installed in specially designed stations for termites

Common pests:Ants, termites, cockroaches, crickets.

Product formulations commonly used: All bait formulations

Definition: Technique of capturing pests as a means to identify, quantify or control adult stagesof an infestation.

Concept:A variety of traps are used to aid the inspection process and symptom suppression.

Identify insects present Measure populations of insects Use as a control mechanism

Common pests: May include almost every pest, especially termites, ants, spiders, crickets,cockroaches, silverfish, stored product moths, stored product beetles, flies, and rodents.

Product formulations commonly used: Pheromone trap, insect light trap, termitemonitor, crawling insect monitor, glueboard, mechanical rodent trap

5.) DIRECTED CONTACT TREATMENT

Definition:Application of a non-residual wet spray to exposed insects within a localized area forimmediate kill.

Concept: Quickly kill exposed insects to prevent stings, biteso r preven t insec t movem entto other areas.

Active bee/wasp/hornet nest Quick relief from fleas Control insects found in complex environments that limit the usefulness of other

techniques Quickly kill exposed insects within a localized area and prevent insects from

scattering to other areas

Common pests: Fleas, spiders, stinging insects, heavy infestation of crickets, cockroaches.

Product formulations commonly used: Contact, pressurized, fast acting contact products

PRODUCT FORMULATION OPTIONS

CONTACT INSECTICIDES

Contact insecticides are short-lived products

designed to work quickly on the exposed stages

of insects either to flush or kill. Contact insecticide

products are usually delivered via pressurized cans

or ULV (Ulta Low Volume) generating equipment.

RESIDUAL INSECTICIDES

Residual insecticides provide long-lasting

pesticide activity. Usually, the insect will make

contact with the pesticide as it crawls through

or rests on a treated site. Both the pest and the

surface being treated need to be considered

when selecting a residual product. There are

many formulations and active ingredients

available for residual treatments.

INSECTICIDE BAITS

Baits combine an attractive food matrix with an

insecticide. They rely on attraction acceptance

and consumption for effectiveness. Baits are

available in many formulations including liquids,

gels, dry-flowable powders, and granules. The

food matrix, active ingredient and concentration

of active ingredients are important considerations

when selecting the appropriate bait for controlling

a targeted insect population.

TRAPS/MONITORS

Traps are devices that physically restrain pests.

They usually involve an attractant as a lure into

the trap. Attractants may be pest specific, as in

the case of pheromones or food attractants, or

may be more general, like insect li ght traps for

flying insects, or traps that provide harborage

or stimulate curiosity such as crawling insect

sticky traps or mechanical rodent traps.

System IIIs will help provide for

increased efficiency in your

treatment schedule. Quick flushing

during inspections with 565 Plus

XLO along with the residual

power of Cy-Kick are an

incredible one-two punch.

The System III enhances your professional image, and makes pest

management more profitable by reducing product usage with pre-

cise controllable applications. Together, the System III and PT pres-

surized products give you the tools you need to provide your cus-

tomers with the service they deserve.

GROW YOUR BUSINESS BY DEVELOPING RESIDENTIAL

CUSTOMERS BEYOND GENERAL INSECT CONTROL PROGRAMS.

Residential customers are demanding, but loyal. Once shown the value of doing business with your company, they

are not very likely to switch to a different service company as you continue to provide good service. Attracting

new residential customers can be costly and challenging however, so many PMPs are putting resources toward

developing the base of customers they already have by offering them additional services.

For example, offering a termite protection program or a termite monitoring program to your current residential

customer base or, conversely, offering a residential program to your current termite bait customers can have a

very positive impact on your business.

Thanks to the recent advancements in termite bait technology from the Advance Termite Bait System (ATBS),

termite services now marry up well with most residential pest management programs, making it an excellent add-on

or cross selling opportunity.

CROSS-SELLING SERVICES CREATES SERVICE EFFICIENCY AND INCREASES PROFIT PER STOP

QUARTERLY SERVICE INTERVAL OF TERMITE BAITING MATCHES MANY RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS

USE THE SAME TRUCK WITH LITTLE OR NO ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT

EARLY DETECTION AND ELIMINATION OF TERMITES IS VERY VALUABLE TO HOME OWNERS

A new termite awareness

monitor for helping PMPs

improve the flow of leads

and increase general

pest revenues.

Features a proprietary station engineered to

promote fast, hard termite hits thanks to its

many innovative features. Its dual-stage

interior is quick and easy to service.

Termites enter then aggregate in the termitemonitoring base and quickly transfer to the

termite inspection cartridge or termite bait

cartridge where they consume a highly

preferred food matrix.

Quarterly visits allow

technician the opportunity to

communicate findings and build

relationship with homeowners.
