Pest Geek Pest Control Podcast Worlds #1 Pest Control Training Podcast: Recent Episodes
Franklin Hernandez
I started the pest geek pest control podcast because i saw such a need to continuously train pest control technicians but unfortunately the only training most of us get is at the annual CEU training, but so much happens throughout the year that affects us but we never find out about it.
Most pest control business are solopreneurs or small operations of less than 10 employees, between sales and service call you have to do marketing and bookkeeping, order products, and everything else that will fall on you plate that day.
You don’t have time to read articles, surf the web, scourge thru magazines or much less read 180 page Phd dissertation, but you can listen to an audio version if it doesn’t interrupt your day, like on your morning commute or while you are performing a mind numbing task.
I know what its like i am the founder of NaturePest and a Certified Pest Control Operator in General Household Pests and Lawn and Ornamental Pest Control in the State of Florida as well as a Certified Horticultural Specialist From Miami Dade College. Im also also a State Certified Best Management Instructor.
I created the Pest Geek Podcast because i love to learn, teach and instruct as well as a love to serve others and what a wonderful way to give back.
I hope this podcast will make a huge contribution to the pest management industry.
In this compelling episode of the Living the Wildlife Podcast, wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel takes a deep dive into the critical topic of bear safety and the practical use of firearms in wildlife management. Part of the Pest Geek Podcast series, Stephen leverages his extensive research and field experience to deliver a rich, informative discussion on the growing challenges of bear encounters, offering insights that go far beyond what’s available through a simple internet search.
Stephen starts the episode by explaining the mission behind Living the Wildlife: to provide research-driven, in-depth information on vertebrate pest control that equips professionals and enthusiasts with the knowledge they need to handle complex wildlife issues. He touches on his ongoing work preparing a presentation for a local search and rescue group, focusing on bear safety as bears continue to reclaim their historic ranges due to successful conservation efforts. This shift in bear populations is increasingly bringing humans into closer contact with these powerful animals, making awareness and preparation more important than ever.
Although many wildlife control operators may not regularly deal with bears, Stephen stresses that understanding bear behavior and safety measures is crucial for anyone working in or around bear habitats. Drawing from his research, he delves into the limitations of current safety guidelines for bear encounters, cautioning that while these protocols improve your chances of survival, they are not foolproof. Much like driving safely doesn’t guarantee you'll avoid an accident, following bear safety rules can reduce risks but can't eliminate them entirely. This honest assessment encourages listeners to adopt a mindset of cautious preparation.
The episode then transitions into a focused discussion on firearms as a tool for bear safety. Stephen provides detailed insights on the role firearms can play during bear encounters, examining the research and real-world applications behind their use. He covers the circumstances in which firearms may be most effective and how operators can responsibly integrate them into their wildlife control practices. With his characteristic depth, Stephen explores both the advantages and the limits of firearms in bear defense, emphasizing the importance of training and understanding the local laws governing their use.
For anyone working in wildlife management or interested in bear safety, this episode offers invaluable, actionable information that will help you better navigate the challenges of working in bear territory. Stephen’s expertise, combined with his engaging delivery, ensures that listeners come away with a clearer understanding of how to protect themselves and others when the stakes are high.

In this episode of the Living the Wildlife podcast, Stephen Vantassel, CWCP, ACE, brings his extensive expertise in wildlife control to a critical and timely discussion about black bears. As black bear populations continue to grow and reestablish themselves across the United States, their presence is becoming more common in areas that were once free of large predators. Stephen explores the implications of this resurgence, particularly focusing on the challenges and opportunities it presents for wildlife management professionals and the public.
Stephen begins by outlining the current state of black bear management, noting that it is primarily overseen by state and federal agencies. This means that private wildlife control professionals often have limited involvement in managing these large mammals, despite the increasing need for expertise as human-bear interactions rise. Stephen highlights the importance of understanding the roles and responsibilities of these agencies and how private professionals can navigate the complexities of wildlife management within these regulatory frameworks.
The episode then delves into the sobering topic of black bear attacks, specifically focusing on fatal encounters. Stephen provides a detailed examination of recent incidents, discussing the factors that contribute to these tragic outcomes. He emphasizes that while black bears are generally not as aggressive as other bear species, such as grizzlies, the risks associated with encountering them should not be underestimated.
Stephen discusses various strategies and research-based principles that can help reduce the risk of black bear attacks. These include practical tips for those living in bear-prone areas, such as securing food sources, understanding bear behavior, and using deterrents effectively. He also covers safety measures for outdoor enthusiasts, offering advice on what to do if you encounter a bear in the wild. Throughout the discussion, Stephen underscores the importance of education and awareness in preventing bear attacks, stressing that being informed and prepared can make a significant difference in safety.
In addition to covering black bears, Stephen hints at future episodes that will address other large predators, including grizzly bears. He acknowledges that while grizzlies pose different challenges, many of the lessons learned from black bear management can be applied to other species as well. This forward-looking approach ensures that listeners are not only equipped to handle current issues but are also prepared for potential future challenges in wildlife management.
For those interested in furthering their knowledge and staying updated on best practices in wildlife control, Stephen Vantassel and Wildlife Control Consultant, LLC, offer a wide range of resources. Whether through his blog, academic papers, videos, or podcasts, Stephen provides valuable insights and practical advice to help professionals and the public alike navigate the complexities of wildlife management.

In this episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, holistic pest control management specialist Franklin "The Pestgeek" Hernandez sits down with Rollie Calzadilla to discuss a complex bird control project at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami. Rollie, an expert in the field since 2007, takes us behind the scenes of a challenging job where his team tackled 96 pigeon holes on a university building, each measuring 4 feet wide by 2.5 feet tall.
Rollie explains the meticulous process of installing individual nets over each opening to prevent pigeons from nesting and making a mess, as well as adding a large net on the interior for extra protection. He also shares the hurdles faced with previous bird deterrent methods, like spikes and sound devices, that proved ineffective, and how his experience has shaped a more effective approach to bird control.
Throughout the conversation, Rollie opens up about his journey in the pest control industry, from starting his own company after recognizing a gap in the market for specialized bird control services to the growth and development of his business. He talks candidly about the challenges of running a wildlife control business, the importance of proper pricing, and the physical demands of the job, such as working 65 feet in the air on a lift to install the nets.
Rollie also discusses his future plans, including the launch of a new training program within the Pest Academy, where he hopes to educate others on the intricacies of bird control. This episode offers a wealth of knowledge for anyone interested in the pest control industry, from aspiring professionals to seasoned veterans looking to expand their expertise.

Welcome to another episode of the Living The Wildlife Podcast with wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel! This episode focuses on the critical importance of protecting your hearing, especially if you're involved in wildlife control and pest management. Here are the key points discussed:
Stephen Vantassel shares his experiences and stresses the importance of adhering to laws and regulations in pest control. He introduces his latest book, the "Vertebrate Pest Handbook, Third Edition," which focuses on commensal rodents.
Stephen discusses his personal battle with hearing loss due to ear infections and exposure to loud noises. He highlights that 15% of American adults report hearing trouble, with men being twice as likely to suffer due to occupational exposure.
OSHA advises that workers should not be exposed to noise levels above 90 dB for 8 hours per day. Exposure time decreases as noise levels increase. For instance, at 100 dB, exposure should be limited to 2 hours.
Common sources of loud noise include music players, chainsaws, jackhammers, and heavy machinery. Stephen compares different noise levels and underscores the importance of using hearing protection.
Discussed protective measures include foam earplugs, custom-molded earplugs, canal caps, and earmuffs. He advises against using earbuds for hearing protection as they can cause further damage.
Stephen emphasizes the need to plan for noise exposure, prepare necessary protective equipment, and consistently use it. OSHA’s emphasis on the actual use of hearing protection is reiterated.
Protecting your hearing is essential for long-term health and avoiding isolation due to hearing loss. Stephen encourages viewers to reach out with questions or for further consultation and training.
This podcast is a valuable resource for those in the pest management industry, providing practical advice on how to protect your hearing and avoid long-term damage.

Welcome to another insightful episode of the Pestgeek Podcast with holistic pest control management specialist Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez! In this compelling video, Franklin opens up about his personal journey with stress and its profound impact on his physical health. He shares invaluable lessons learned along the way, offering a relatable and heartfelt narrative that many can identify with.
Franklin begins by describing the overwhelming stress he faced while managing both his business and personal life. Balancing the demands of running a business and dealing with home-related issues created an intense pressure cooker environment. Over several years, he found himself constantly battling colds, unaware that these recurring illnesses were actually stress-related.
Building a business from the ground up, managing employees, and handling high-pressure situations contributed significantly to his stress levels. Franklin's approach to stress was to internalize it, a coping mechanism that eventually led to severe physical symptoms. He experienced debilitating back pain, which became so intense that he required regular sessions with a massage therapist to find relief.
The year 2017 was particularly challenging for Franklin. He faced a trifecta of stressors that pushed his health to the brink. First, a hurricane loomed, creating a high-stress situation as he prepared for the storm. Compounding this, he had been without his blood pressure medication for a week due to a discontinuation, which caused his blood pressure to spike dangerously. To top it off, personal issues came to a head when his wife asked for a divorce. The combination of these stressors led to severe chest pains and an alarming spike in his blood pressure, reaching levels as high as 160 over 110.
This health crisis prompted Franklin to seek medical attention urgently. After undergoing extensive tests, including a calcium score test, it was confirmed that his heart was healthy. Despite the severe symptoms, his heart showed no signs of disease, plaque, or valve damage. The doctors concluded that his symptoms were purely stress-related, highlighting the profound impact that stress can have on physical health.
Throughout this ordeal, Franklin learned valuable lessons about managing stress and taking care of his health. He realized the importance of not internalizing stress and finding healthier ways to cope with pressure. His story is a powerful reminder of how crucial it is to address stress proactively and seek support when needed.

Hiring is not easy and deciding what to pay isn't any easier there will, you may think you are offering fair pay for what you are wanting but are you really offering a competitive salary ore are you offering what you can afford to pay?
As an employer, you will never pay a fair wage. You have to be competitive to win. If you feel $20 an hour is fair, but someone else can make $24 doing a similar job, you might think you are paying a fair wage, but you’re not competitive.
Technicians turned self-employed often get stuck on the notion of fairness. Business is not about fairness; it is about competitiveness. You compete for market space, customers, talent—you compete for everything you want to achieve. If you can’t be competitive, you can’t even play the game, much less win it.
Get over this fairness mindset and start being competitive. Fairness is neither quantifiable nor qualifiable; it’s a feeling, and you can never compete with everyone’s feelings.
Treat people with dignity and respect, and do what is right. However, in many cases, you will do what you think is fair and still lose. That is the reality of business and life in general.
You’re not paying what is fair; you’re paying what you can afford to pay. The question is: can you find someone willing to work for what you can afford to pay?

Welcome to another episode of the Living The Wildlife Podcast with wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel! In this episode, Stephen delves into essential ladder safety tips, emphasizing the importance of following OSHA guidelines to prevent accidents and injuries.
Stephen highlights the critical aspects of ladder safety, starting with the need to follow all ladder markings and ensure they are readable. He stresses the importance of avoiding electrical hazards, particularly with aluminum ladders, and advises inspecting ladders for missing screws, warping, frayed ropes, and worn-out rubber feet before use.
Maintaining three-point contact—keeping two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand on the ladder—is crucial. Stephen also emphasizes the necessity of using the appropriate ladder for the job, ensuring it is rated for your weight and the equipment you carry. Keeping ladders clean and free from slippery materials is essential, as is placing ladders on stable, level surfaces and considering the use of ladder levelers.
Proper extension is another key point, with extension ladders needing to extend three rungs above the roofline or the level you're working on. Maintaining a 1:4 ratio of distance from the wall to the height of the ladder ensures the correct angle for safety. Stephen advises using cones or hazard tape in high-traffic areas to prevent accidents and checking all locks on extension ladders to ensure they are fully engaged before use.
Finally, Stephen warns against exceeding the maximum load rating of the ladder, underscoring the importance of safety to avoid serious injuries or financial setbacks. He invites feedback and suggestions for future episodes at wildlifecontrolconsultant@gmail.com.

Upselling is the practice of encouraging a customer to buy a more expensive version of a product or service that they are already in the process of purchasing. The goal is to make a more profitable sale by suggesting a higher-end version of the item, an upgrade, or an additional feature that increases the value of their purchase. For example, if a customer is booking a standard room in a hotel, an upsell would be to offer them a suite or a room with a better view for an additional cost.
Cross-selling, on the other hand, involves recommending related products or services that complement what the customer is already buying. This strategy aims to increase the customer's purchase size by adding more items to their basket, enhancing their overall experience with complementary products. An example of cross-selling would be suggesting a travel insurance policy to a customer who is booking a flight, or offering a phone case to someone purchasing a new smartphone.
In essence, upselling focuses on upgrading or enhancing the primary product the customer intends to buy, while cross-selling aims to sell additional, complementary products or services alongside the primary purchase. Both strategies can effectively increase revenue and enhance customer satisfaction by providing more value.

This episode's going to be like hanging out in your backyard with a couple of good buddies – laid-back, filled with a few laughs, and packed with some cool stories.
We kick things off with Christian finally making his much-anticipated appearance on the show. I mean, it's about time, right? We share a laugh about how we've been planning this forever. Christian's full of kind words for the podcast, saying it's been a real brain-tickler for him in the pest control world.

Then we shift gears to the dreams and goals behind running Tailor Made Pest Control. Christian gets real about his plans for the future, including those sunny retirement days he's looking forward to. He's honest about the ups and downs of saving money – comparing it to choosing salad over pizza, which let's be honest, is a struggle we all understand.
We also delve into how different generations handle saving and planning for the future. Christian's perspective is a blend of living in the moment while keeping an eye on the horizon – kind of like balancing your diet to enjoy both the healthy stuff and the occasional treat.
As we start wrapping up, Christian opens up about feeling more 'running-on-a-treadmill' tired than 'burnt-out'. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hard work and dedication that goes into Tailor Made Pest Control, and it’s not always a walk in the park.

In this video, Frank the Pest Geek discusses the challenges of mosquito control and how small habits can lead to big problems. He starts by pointing out a container on the back side of a property that has been left with water, which can breed hundreds of mosquitoes. Tipping the container over is not enough, it needs to be removed. He also shows a hot tub that is not being used, and the cover is not sealing it properly, leading to standing water where mosquitoes are breeding. Spraying an adulticide is not enough, as the larvae need to be treated with a larvicide every two weeks, such as IGR, BTI, or Spinosad.
Frank shows that even a small backyard can have breeding sites for mosquitoes in lawn and shrubs, or in containers like the bromeliad plant that he finds near the front door. The video demonstrates how to remove a paper wasp nest using a pole and scraper. Frank shows several bromeliad plants, which are common breeding sites for mosquitoes, and a bird bath that is not being attended to, leading to mosquito breeding.
He points out that even an air conditioner can be a problem if it is not draining properly, creating a puddle of water where mosquitoes can breed. Frank emphasizes that neighbors up to 300 feet away who have the same issues can lead to a community-wide mosquito problem. He cautions that unless all the breeding sites are identified and treated with larvicides, spraying adulticides will not control the problem. Pest control companies need to educate their clients about mosquito breeding habits to help them identify breeding sites and take preventive measures.
So, Frank The Pestgeek talks about the biggest problem of living alongside the Turnpike in Miami during the rainy season which is the breeding of millions and millions of mosquitoes due to miles and miles of stagnant water. He explains that no matter which pest control company one hires, they will still have mosquitoes as it's impossible to control the breeding site, which is all along the Turnpike. Frank demonstrates how mosquito larvae breed in stagnant water and how removing that water can help eliminate the mosquito problem. He also mentions that many properties have catch basins, fountains, plants, and bird baths that breed mosquitoes and that people need to use an insect growth regulator to treat these water areas and an adulticide to control adult mosquitoes that land on plants. He warns that a single strategy of just spraying with an insecticide or misting won't work and that insect growth regulators are UV sensitive and only last about two weeks. Frank also emphasizes that bromeliads are the number one cause of mosquitoes on properties, and if people have this plant, Miami-Dade County urges them to remove it and not replant it because it spreads mosquitoes to their property and every neighbor that's on every side of them. Lastly, he shows a garden with bromeliads and bird baths as an example of what not to do if one wants to avoid mosquitoes.
Don't let your clients fall victim to pesky mosquito infestations this season. Take action now and educate them on the importance of identifying and treating breeding sites with larvicides every two weeks, such as IGR, BTI, or Spinosad. It's not enough to simply spray adulticides, as small habits like leaving standing water in containers or neglecting a bird bath can lead to big mosquito problems. Remember, even neighbors up to 300 feet away can contribute to a community-wide issue. Don't let your clients suffer any longer. Arm them with the knowledge they need to prevent mosquito breeding sites and keep their properties mosquito-free. Act now and make sure they understand the importance of proper mosquito control measures!

The latest episode of the PestGeek Podcast, hosted by Franklin Hernandez 'The Pestgeek', features an in-depth discussion titled "Is Google Ads Worth It For A One Man Show?" Today's episode is a treasure trove of information for solo entrepreneurs and small business owners, particularly in the pest control industry, looking to understand the intricacies of digital advertising through Google Ads.
In this episode, Frank tackles a question that resonates with many in the one-man business community: the effectiveness and practicality of investing in Google Ads. He dives into the multifaceted costs associated with running a Google Ads campaign, which go beyond the apparent ad spend. Frank elaborates on the hidden layers of cost, including ad management and supervisory expenses, which are crucial for a successful campaign.
A significant portion of the podcast is dedicated to the technicalities of setting up and running a Google Ads campaign. Frank breaks down the process, discussing the importance of choosing the right keywords, understanding the bidding mechanism, and the criticality of waiting for data to analyze the campaign's effectiveness. He emphasizes the need to identify and eliminate negative keywords that do not align with commercial intent to avoid unnecessary expenditure.
Frank advises listeners to consider ad campaigns as a trial process, recommending at least a three-month period to gather data, test various strategies, and refine the approach based on the feedback received. This trial period is essential to understand the nuances of effective ad spending.
Creating compelling ad content is another key topic Frank discusses in this episode. He points out that stating qualifications or experience alone isn't sufficient to make an ad successful. Instead, he suggests focusing on crafting an irresistible offer that can attract potential customers and outshine competitors' ads. Understanding market dynamics, such as standard pricing and offers, is crucial in this regard.
Furthermore, Frank delves into the concept of advertising as an investment. He explains that, like any investment, ads require time to mature and start yielding returns. This perspective is vital for business owners to set realistic expectations about the long-term nature of advertising investments.
Towards the end of the episode, Frank highlights the importance of the business owner's active involvement in the advertising process. He stresses the need for owners to analyze and scrutinize ad performance data, effectively playing the role of a chief marketing officer, even in a small-scale operation.
Overall, this episode of the PestGeek Podcast is an invaluable resource for anyone in the pest control industry considering Google Ads as a marketing tool. Frank's detailed and practical advice provides listeners with a comprehensive understanding of digital advertising's complexities and offers actionable strategies for successful ad campaigns.

In the detailed and insightful video titled "Pest Control Business SOP Standard Operating Procedure With Alan Feuer" on the Pest Geek Podcast Pest Control Training channel, hosted by Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez, the discussion revolves around the critical role of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in pest control businesses.
Franklin initiates the discussion by highlighting the importance of SOPs in the context of a pest control business, specifically focusing on their role in helping businesses grow and manage operational challenges. Alan Feuer, a respected figure in the field, shares his insights and experiences, emphasizing that SOPs must be customized to each company’s unique environment, considering local factors like pest species, climate, and regulations.
Alan discusses the transition challenges faced by technicians who become business owners. He advises that SOPs should be developed even by single operators, as they provide a foundation for training and consistency when the business expands. This foresight is crucial for maintaining quality and efficiency as the business scales.
A significant point made in the conversation is that SOPs are living documents, requiring regular updates and revisions to remain relevant. This adaptability is vital, especially in a dynamic field like pest control, where factors such as pest behavior, technology, and regulations can change rapidly. Alan shares an acronym used in their training - UR ROCK (Understand, Retain, Obey, Complain) - to emphasize the importance of understanding, adhering to, and providing feedback on SOPs.
Alan and Franklin discuss how SOPs not only standardize operations but also empower employees to provide feedback and suggestions for improvement. This collaborative approach ensures that SOPs are practical, relevant, and continuously evolving with the business and industry.
Furthermore, Alan stresses the importance of SOPs in different business areas, from technical operations to customer service, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach. By involving various departments in the SOP development process, businesses ensure that these procedures are comprehensive and consider all aspects of the operation.
The video is a treasure trove of information for anyone in the pest control business, particularly those looking to establish or refine their SOPs. Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez, with his engaging hosting style, facilitates a conversation that is both informative and practical, offering viewers valuable insights into the world of pest control business management.

The video titled "Maximizing the Effectiveness of Advion Roach Gel: Expert Insights on Application and Duration" is from the "Pest Geek Podcast Pest Control Training" channel, hosted by Frank the Pest Geek.
In this video, Frank addresses a question from Kardale Holland regarding the longevity of Advion Cockroach Gel Bait after application, particularly focusing on its drying time. Frank explains that the effectiveness of roach bait is not solely dependent on how long it lasts or its residual effect. Instead, it relies on the concept of horizontal transfer or secondary and tertiary kill.
He elaborates that when a roach consumes the bait, it may regurgitate or excrete it, and other roaches are attracted to and consume these excretions, leading to secondary or tertiary kills. This process can repeat multiple times, depending on the active ingredient's potency through the system.
Frank advises that for heavy infestations, reapplication might be necessary within a week. However, for medium to light infestations, the bait should work for about two weeks. After that,
it may no longer be palatable or could get contaminated by other substances like aerosol sprays or oils. He emphasizes the importance of not spraying over-the-counter insecticides over the bait, as this can contaminate it and make it ineffective.
The key takeaway from the video is the importance of understanding how roach baits work, particularly the role of horizontal transfer in pest control, and the need for careful application and monitoring to ensure effectiveness.

Delve into the captivating world of wildlife control with Stephen Vantassel in this episode of "Living the Wildlife."
In this installment, we're embarking on an intriguing journey into the realm of Brodifacoum, a rodenticide renowned for its incredible potency. Often affectionately dubbed the "nuclear weapon" of rodenticides, this powerful substance merits our attention for its unparalleled toxicity. While we're not advocating for its outright banishment, it's of utmost importance to grasp its might and, equally crucial, the potential risks it carries.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Brodifacoum is its astonishingly prolonged biological half-life. Within an organism, it lingers for up to a staggering 120 days. This protracted presence within the organism prompts valid concerns regarding its impact on non-target creatures, especially those on the endangered species list.
The state of California, cognizant of these concerns, has implemented stringent regulations governing the residential and professional use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides, including Brodifacoum. These restrictions have been necessitated by the extensive contamination of non-target animals.
Empirical evidence from field studies underscores Brodifacoum's efficacy, with control rates ranging from an impressive 95% to a staggering 100% achieved in challenging environments, such as stored crops and livestock areas. This resounding success underscores the need for responsible and highly targeted deployment when tackling rodent infestations.
Upon exposure to Brodifacoum, rodents exhibit a range of symptoms, including heightened crouching, increased periods of lying down, an inclination toward curling, paralysis, and, ultimately, demise within the span of seven days.
Curiously, Brodifacoum appears to exert a suppressive influence on the feeding behavior of house mice after several days of consumption. This reduced dietary intake may play a pivotal role in diminishing the risk of secondary poisoning, a scenario in which predators consume poisoned rodents.
Skin absorption of Brodifacoum emerges as a notable concern, underscoring the paramount importance of donning appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling this potent rodenticide.
Furthermore, inhalation of Brodifacoum can pose significant risks, with an LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of test subjects) of 3.0 milligrams per kilogram when the substance is aerosolized. This serves as a stark reminder that these products should be handled with the utmost care and precaution.
The perils of secondary poisoning become acutely evident when examining the impact on owls. Studies have demonstrated that barn owls fed on poisoned rats invariably met a tragic fate, emphasizing the need for the utmost care and prudence in the use of Brodifacoum.
As we navigate the intricacies of wildlife control, it becomes abundantly clear that striking the right balance between effective rodent population management and safeguarding non-target species is imperative. Brodifacoum stands as a potent tool in this endeavor, but its utilization demands a judicious, responsible approach, coupled with a profound awareness of the potential repercussions.
Join us on this enlightening expedition within "Living the Wildlife" as we uncover the nuanced facets of wildlife control and share invaluable insights designed to elevate you into a more informed, responsible wildlife control operator. Your thoughts and ideas are always welcome, and together, let's forge a path that harmonizes effective pest management with environmental conservation.

Welcome to another exciting episode of "Living the Wildlife" with your host, Steven Vantassel. We're thrilled to have you on board as part of the Pest Keek podcast family. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of rodent traps, sharing five game-changing strategies that will revolutionize your capture success.
Steven has been busy recording multiple episodes because, well, the kitty of videos was running a bit low. As we approach the holiday season, it's crucial to stay up-to-date with the latest insights in the field of wildlife control. So, don't forget to hit that subscribe button and ring the bell to get notified of our latest updates.
But wait, if you're not a fan of YouTube, no worries! You can also find us over on Rumble. Simply head to Rumble and search for "Wildlife Control Consultant." And for any inquiries, feel free to reach out to Steven at Stephen@wildlifecontrolconsultant.com or even at his old email address, wildlifecontrolconsultant@gmail.com.
Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of today's discussion. We're delving into a fascinating research article from the 1990s. Specifically, it's from 1993 and authored by Mr. Jorgenson, Dearis, and Witor. The title alone is intriguing: "The Effect of Box Trap Design on Rodent Captures." This article, published in the Southwestern Naturalist (Volume 39, Issue 3, Pages 291-294), takes us on a journey to uncover whether box traps with solid walls are more or less effective at capturing rodents compared to cage traps.
In this episode, we explore why this research matters, especially for wildlife control professionals who want to improve their trapping techniques. We'll compare the Sherman trap, commonly used in small mammal surveys, with a cage trap, looking at dimensions and trigger sensitivity. The researchers used a paired trapping design, placing both types of traps at various locations to determine which trap attracted more rodents.
The study was extensive, with over a thousand trap nights in one location and several hundred in another. Trap nights, for those new to the term, refer to one trap left out for one night. So, the researchers had an abundance of data to work with.
The results, while not surprising, shed light on rodent behavior and trap preferences. Generally, the Sherman trap outperformed the cage trap in capturing small mammals. But why? Was it the dimensions, the design, or perhaps the trigger sensitivity? The researchers considered all these factors.
Join us as we unravel the findings of this study and discover the secrets to successful rodent trapping. We'll explore the nuances of trap design, sensitivity, and the importance of continuous learning in the wildlife control profession.
Plus, Steven encourages all wildlife control operators to take a leaf from this research's book and consider conducting their mini-studies. By understanding which traps work best in their specific areas and for different species, professionals can provide more effective solutions to their clients.
So, whether you're a seasoned wildlife control expert or a homeowner dealing with a rodent issue, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Don't miss it! And remember, we don't want you to be the wildlife—stay tuned and take care until next time!

Welcome to "Living the Wildlife," the podcast dedicated to unraveling the complexities of wildlife control. Hosted by wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel, this show is your go-to resource for resolving wildlife conflicts effectively.
Wildlife control is more critical than ever, especially in areas where urban development and natural habitats intersect. Whether it's raccoons rummaging through trash cans, skunks nesting under porches, or red foxes causing disturbances, wildlife conflicts are a common concern for homeowners and businesses alike.
The importance of wildlife control lies in maintaining a balance between humans and animals. While we share our environment with these creatures, sometimes they venture a little too close for comfort. Wildlife control allows us to coexist peacefully by mitigating conflicts and ensuring the safety of both humans and animals.
In this extended episode, we'll delve into bait dynamics in wildlife control. Bait is a critical component of trapping, but its effectiveness can vary greatly depending on environmental factors.
Temperature plays a significant role in how long bait remains effective. High temperatures can cause bait to spoil quickly, losing its scent and appeal. Low temperatures, on the other hand, can prolong the life of bait, giving you a better chance of attracting your target animals.
Sunlight can also impact bait. In hot, sunny conditions, bait can dry out and become less aromatic, affecting its attractiveness to wildlife. Humidity is another factor to consider, as it can impact how odors linger in the air.
In this episode, we also explore a fascinating study conducted by Rebecca E. Rusika and Michael R. Conover. This research focuses on the impact of wind and humidity on meso-predators, such as raccoons, skunks, and red foxes.
Meso-predators are unique because they rely heavily on their sense of smell to locate prey. Wind and humidity can significantly influence their ability to detect scent cues.
The researchers found that wind speed and direction played a pivotal role in a predator's ability to locate prey. On nights when the wind speed ranged from 2 to 9 miles per hour, meso-predators were more active and had a higher likelihood of spotting prey.
Understanding these findings can help wildlife control professionals strategically place traps to intercept animals' natural movements while taking advantage of prevailing winds.
As you continue your journey into the world of wildlife control, remember that knowledge is your greatest asset. By mastering bait dynamics and trap placement, you're well on your way to becoming a true professional in the field.
Thank you for joining us on "Living the Wildlife." Stay tuned for more insights and expertise on wildlife control, and don't forget to connect with us on Facebook and Rumble. We look forward to sharing this fascinating world with you.

Now that you have a solid understanding of the importance of bat houses, the significance of their designs, and the crucial role of location, it's time to explore how to obtain the ideal bat house. In this chapter, we'll discuss two primary options: building your own bat house or purchasing a pre-made one.
With your carefully chosen or meticulously crafted bat house in hand, it's time to move on to the final step: installation. Proper installation is the linchpin of your bat house's success. In this chapter, we'll guide you through the process of installing your bat house effectively, ensuring it becomes an attractive roosting site for local bat populations.
Stay tuned for more in-depth insights into bat house installation and how you can contribute to bat conservation while reaping the benefits of natural pest control. Subscribe for updates and expert advice on living harmoniously with wildlife.

In this enthralling episode of 'The Pestgeek Podcast,' listeners are treated to a deep and intimate conversation between Franklin 'the pestgeek' Hernandez and Christian Allen. The episode begins with Christian expressing his profound admiration for Franklin's podcast, a sentiment many of Franklin's listeners undoubtedly share. He commends the 'Pestgeek Podcast' for its role in stoking his curiosity and furthering his education in the field of pest control. Franklin modestly describes himself as more of a guide than a guru, someone who encourages his audience to ask questions and explore the vast realm of pest control.
As the conversation unfolds, a common thread emerges—the importance of having a clear endgame in mind. Franklin points out that many individuals embark on entrepreneurial journeys without a well-defined destination. They fail to ask themselves the fundamental question: Why are they building a business? Is it for personal satisfaction, financial growth, or perhaps an eventual exit strategy, like selling the business? These considerations are pivotal for charting a successful course in the pest control industry.
Christian's journey into entrepreneurship is a fascinating tale of reluctance and resilience. He candidly shares his experiences, providing a window into the challenges and triumphs he has encountered. At 53 years old, Christian possesses a wealth of life experiences that set him apart from many young entrepreneurs. He reflects on the unique hurdles he has faced throughout his entrepreneurial career, offering valuable insights to others who may be on a similar path.
The dialogue between Franklin and Christian underscores the critical role of mental well-being in entrepreneurship. Burnout is not a sign of weakness but rather a consequence of the dedication and determination that drive entrepreneurs to succeed. Christian's willingness to share his experiences with burnout serves as a powerful reminder that seeking help and prioritizing mental health are essential steps on the path to sustainable entrepreneurship.
Delegation emerges as a key theme in Christian's journey to overcome burnout and achieve sustainable growth. Recognizing that he couldn't continue doing everything himself, Christian devised a strategy to delegate tasks effectively to his team. Franklin applauds this shift in mindset, highlighting delegation as a fundamental pillar of long-term success for entrepreneurs.
One of the central lessons is the importance of continuous learning. Both Franklin and Christian emphasize that education doesn't stop once a business is established. Instead, it should be an ongoing pursuit. Franklin encourages entrepreneurs to stay curious, explore new avenues, and seek out knowledge that can benefit their businesses.
In closing, Franklin and Christian leave listeners with a profound message: Entrepreneurship is a journey filled with challenges, but it is also a path to personal and financial growth. With the right mindset, support, and a clear endgame, entrepreneurs can navigate these challenges and build thriving businesses that lead to a fulfilling future.

Welcome to a compelling episode of "Living The Wildlife," where esteemed wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel takes us on a deep dive into the seismic changes rippling through the pest control industry. Our focal point? The recent and impactful prohibition on the use of glue boards for pest control in Wales, effective as of October 17th, 2023. Although this ban may seem localized, its ramifications are far-reaching, compelling professionals to reconsider conventional practices and embark on a transformative journey that involves evolving pest control ethics
The ban on glue boards in Wales isn't merely regulatory; it's symbolic of a paradigm shift. It ignites discussions about ethical pest control practices, adaptation to new tools, and the evolving landscape of rodent control. This change goes beyond legislation; it delves into society's evolving values, emphasizing the humane treatment of animals. Pest control professionals are now confronting profound moral questions, urging them to reevaluate their relationship with the animal kingdom.
This ban triggers a collective exploration of alternative pest control methods, aiming to minimize animal suffering while upholding public health and food production standards. It underscores the need for professionals and industry associations to unify their efforts, advocating for ethical practices and educating the public on responsible pest management.
While the ban's immediate impact might be localized, it serves as a harbinger of forthcoming industry shifts. Pest control professionals must remain vigilant, adaptable, and committed to solutions that effectively balance pest control with ethical considerations.
As we navigate this evolving landscape and its impact, it's crucial to remember that innovation and adaptation are the cornerstones of harmonizing pest management with ethical treatment of animals. Our actions will determine whether we coexist harmoniously with wildlife or merely exist within the intricate tapestry of the ecosystem. Join the conversation on responsible pest management and ethical considerations in rodent control, and let's shape the future of our industry together.

Welcome to "Living the Wildlife" with Wildlife Control Consultant Stephen Vantassel. In this installment, we're embarking on an enlightening journey into Alpha Chloralose, a cutting-edge rodenticide making waves in the realm of pest management across the United States.
Alpha Chloralose, though its name may be a tongue-twister, stands as a fascinating chemical compound. Emerging as a chlorinated acetal derivative rooted in glucose, a fundamental sugar molecule, it arrives in various user-friendly forms, including convenient paste baits and satchets. Its remarkable versatility and unique characteristics set it apart in the world of pest control.
Delving further, Alpha Chloralose is known by several names, but for simplicity, we'll consistently refer to it as Alpha Chloralose throughout our discussion. Originating in Europe, this rodenticide has a more established presence across the Atlantic, offering us a unique perspective on pest management solutions shaped by local challenges and regulations.
Understanding Alpha Chloralose's mode of action is crucial to appreciate its effectiveness. This remarkable rodenticide operates by affecting the central nervous system of the targeted rodents. Upon consumption, it initiates a chain reaction of physiological responses in the rodent's body.
The journey of a rodent exposed to Alpha Chloralose begins with a sudden sense of drowsiness, setting in within a mere 15 minutes. This initial lethargy is the first step towards the rodent's eventual demise. What follows is a loss of motor control, leaving the rodent staggering and uncoordinated, akin to a human inebriated by excessive alcohol consumption.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Alpha Chloralose's mode of action is its impact on the rodent's breathing patterns. It disrupts the normal respiratory processes, adding another layer to its potency. Moreover, Alpha Chloralose induces hypothermia in rodents, causing them to lose body heat rapidly. This phenomenon accelerates their decline and leads to a rather unique demise.
Alpha Chloralose excels in colder temperatures. It has a remarkable ability to hinder a rodent's capacity to regulate its body heat effectively. As temperatures drop into the 50 to 61 degrees Fahrenheit range, the efficacy of Alpha Chloralose rises. At these lower temperatures, you can achieve up to a 95% success rate in controlling rodent populations using this rodenticide.
This aspect makes Alpha Chloralose a valuable asset in the colder months when mice and other rodents seek shelter from the elements, often in the structures we occupy. It provides pest management professionals with an extra tool to combat infestations during the winter.
This rodenticide poses a moderate risk to dogs, with an LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of the population) range of 100 to 600 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Symptoms in dogs can include drowsiness, motor control loss, and hypothermia. Given that dogs are more likely to consume substances found outdoors, it's essential to ensure proper bait stations are used and placed strategically to prevent unintended exposure.
The onset of symptoms in dogs can be relatively rapid, typically occurring within one to two hours of ingestion. However, the effects can linger, lasting anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. Therefore, the utmost caution should be exercised when deploying Alpha Chloralose in areas accessible to pets.
Whether future regulations or research expand its use remains to be seen. Nonetheless, it is an exciting and potent option for managing rodent infestations, particularly in cold climates and structures like sheds and garages.

In this episode of "Living the Wildlife" with Stephen Fantastic, a Wildlife Control consultant, we dive into some common myths and misconceptions within the wildlife control and trapping industry. Stephen discusses how these myths can sometimes create misunderstandings and lead to misinformation among both professionals and the public.
One of the key myths Stephen addresses is the idea that Conibear traps instantly kill animals. He emphasizes that while these traps are effective, they don't always lead to instant death, especially when dealing with larger and resilient animals like raccoons. It's important for professionals to accurately convey the reality of these traps to clients.
Another myth Stephen challenges is the belief that trapping is highly regulated. He argues that while there are regulations in place, the level of oversight and monitoring may not be as high as some assume. He suggests that the term "highly regulated" might not accurately represent the industry's actual state.
The third myth Stephen explores is the idea that translocation, or relocating captured animals, is a humane practice. He points out the potential issues with translocation, including the animals' unfamiliarity with their new environment, the risk of disease transmission, and the challenge of finding resources in a new location. Stephen encourages the audience to reconsider whether this practice is truly humane.
Throughout the episode, Stephen emphasizes the importance of being truthful and transparent about the realities of wildlife control and trapping. He believes that conveying accurate information to clients and the public is crucial for maintaining trust and credibility within the industry.
If you have thoughts or ideas related to these myths or wildlife control in general, Stephen welcomes you to reach out to him via email at WildlifeControlConsultant@gmail.com or join the discussion on the Pesky Podcast Facebook group.
Stay tuned for more episodes of "Living the Wildlife" for in-depth discussions on topics relevant to wildlife control professionals.

In this riveting episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, your host Franklin Hernandez delves deep into the world of delegation, entrepreneurship, and the art of scaling your pest control business.
Episode Highlights:
Understanding the 6 Genius Test: Franklin introduces the concept of the 6 Genius Test, a revolutionary approach to team building and skill identification. Learn how different talents and innate abilities contribute to effective teamwork and successful business growth.
Unveiling Your Working Genius: Join the discussion as Franklin breaks down the Working Genius framework, uncovering the innate traits that drive you. Discover your inherent abilities such as daydreaming, invention, rallying people, and more, that fuel your passion for entrepreneurship.
The Power of Delegation: Franklin shares his insights into the importance of delegation for business owners seeking to scale. Dive into the challenges and rewards of entrusting tasks to others, be it software automation or hiring personnel.
Balancing Dreams and Realities: Franklin walks you through the delicate balance of having a grand vision for your business while dealing with practical limitations. From marketing plans to website development, learn how to tackle tasks step by step, even when instant results seem elusive.
Embracing Discipline: Explore the role of discipline in entrepreneurship, even when certain tasks are not naturally in your comfort zone. Discover how adopting strategic approaches and automated tools can streamline processes and lead to sustainable growth.
Franklin emphasizes that effective delegation and understanding client expectations are crucial for business growth.
Navigating Lost Opportunities:
Franklin reveals that, historically, about 80% of potential clients were content with the call center explaining they aren't salespeople and a Pest Pro will return their call. Recognizing that he couldn't personally attend to every call, he realized that around 80% of callers were only looking for immediate assistance. Not capturing these leads meant a missed opportunity, as people often hang up and contact another company for instant service.
Identifying Unique Abilities:
Using Eric as an example, Franklin discusses the concept of working geniuses. Eric possesses enablement, invention, and wonder, with a significant dose of tenacity. Tenacity, Franklin explains, is the quality required to see a project through completion. In this case, it highlights the difference between planning and dreaming (where Eric excels) and implementing with persistence (where he shines).
The Art of Execution:
Eric's remarkable ability to execute stems from his discipline in staying focused on one project until its completion. Franklin details Eric's capacity to immerse himself in a creative process, such as producing music, where he meticulously handles every step, from writing to mastering. This trait contrasts with entrepreneurs who struggle with focusing on a single task due to the allure of multiple ideas.
Understanding Entrepreneurial Wiring:
Franklin underscores that entrepreneurial tendencies are often encoded in one's DNA, making it difficult to alter certain characteristics. He likens consulting to counseling, requiring patience and guidance to help business owners understand and work with their inherent traits. Franklin also emphasizes the importance of aligning actions with the long-term vision, practicing patience, and seeking sustainable growth.
Seamless Migration and Future Steps:
The conversation shifts toward practicalities, discussing website migration, accounting, and understanding financial reports. Franklin outlines the technical aspects of migrating the site while preserving its SEO value. He also acknowledges the need to comprehend financial numbers and recommends evaluating them through expert guidance. Franklin concludes by reminding the business owner of the importance of stepping back from the business to allow it to flourish and the need for consistent, patient effort.

Today, we're thrilled to have a special guest on the show, Anne Lacy, the North American Director of the Eastern Flyway Project at the International Crane Foundation. Get ready for a deep dive into the world of Sandhill cranes, their population dynamics, and the challenges they present. As populations grow, conflicts naturally arise, especially when dealing with federally protected birds like cranes. Anne brings her expertise to the table, shedding light on legal and effective methods of addressing these concerns.
The International Crane Foundation's website, savingcranes.org, provides a wealth of information on their initiatives based in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Stephen recalls his visit to their site and the awe-inspiring experience it was. With that, let's welcome Anne Lacy to the show.
In this episode, Anne shares insights into her journey in the field of crane restoration and protection. Her fascination with birds led her to pursue conservation biology during her graduate studies. After joining the International Crane Foundation, Anne focused on the challenges of crane and crop damage. Since then, she has expanded her expertise to include whooping cranes and prairie restoration. She offers an intriguing peek into the distinction between cranes and similar birds like herons and egrets.
Sandhill cranes are intriguing creatures, with fifteen species found across five continents. Anne dives into the unique characteristics that distinguish cranes from other wading birds. The way they fly, nest, and behave sets them apart. For instance, cranes cannot bend their necks in an 'S' shape like herons, and they predominantly nest on the ground. Anne discusses the global distribution of crane species, revealing that cranes are absent from Antarctica and South America.
The Sandhill crane population has experienced significant changes over time. Anne explains how market hunting and habitat loss led to severe declines in certain areas. Fortunately, efforts such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act helped protect these birds, allowing their populations to recover. She delves into the intriguing history of cranes in Wisconsin and Aldo Leopold's contributions to crane conservation.
As the discussion progresses, Anne gives us insights into Sandhill crane behaviors and their life history. Sandhill cranes are long-lived and territorial breeders. They return to their breeding territories in late February or early March, engaging in territorial disputes with other cranes. Anne provides detailed information on their breeding habits, nesting, and chick rearing. She explains how the predators they face vary according to their life stage.
Anne offers valuable advice for managing Sandhill crane conflicts. For instance, she addresses the challenges faced in Florida, where Sandhill cranes cause damage to lawns and other areas. She explains that scaring devices, visual deterrents, and even dogs may not be entirely effective in deterring cranes. Anne also recommends altering bird feeder placement to reduce spillage, which attracts cranes.
Stay tuned for part two of our interview with Anne Lacy. And remember, it's not about being the wildlife – it's about living the wildlife. Take care and catch you in the next episode.

Welcome to another episode of Living the Wildlife with Stephen Van Tassel, a part of the PestGeek Podcast family. In this episode, Stephen delves into the importance of rigorous research in the field of wildlife control and damage management. As we approach August with clearer skies and better weather, Stephen discusses the ongoing challenge of fires in Montana during this fire season.
Throughout the episode, Stephen emphasizes the significance of peer-reviewed research in establishing the efficacy of different control methods. He explains the trophic levels and how they affect the allocation of resources in the industry, leading to a lack of funds for conducting rigorous research on some control techniques.

To advance the industry, Stephen encourages manufacturers to be open to external evaluation, allowing for more transparent and unbiased conclusions.
Throughout the episode, Stephen underlines the need for publications and peer-edited materials to present reliable data and conclusions. He invites manufacturers to share their products for examination, which will help elevate the industry's standards and lead to more effective solutions for wildlife control.
For those interested, Stephen calls for reviewers to critically evaluate his updated book on the "Vertebrate Pest Handbook." As the industry evolves, "Living the Wildlife" aims to equip professionals with the knowledge to make informed decisions, continually improving wildlife control practices.
Don't miss this thought-provoking episode and gain valuable insights into the importance of research and evidence-based decision-making. Subscribe to the channel, and reach out to Stephen at WildlifeControlConsultant@gmail.com to share your thoughts, criticisms, and experiences.
Join the movement for a more informed and effective wildlife control industry, where professionals live the wildlife and not become the wildlife.

Welcome to another episode of Living The Wildlife with Stephen Van Tassel. Join Stephen, a Wildlife Control consultant and host of this Peskgeek Podcast family show, as he dives into the world of wildlife control and shares valuable insights. In this episode, Stephen reflects on recent adventures, including canoeing along the Missouri River and visiting the historic Decision Point, where Lewis and Clark made a crucial decision that shaped their journey.
Stephen encourages listeners to subscribe to the podcast, ring the bell, and leave a five-star review. For those who prefer alternative platforms, the podcast is also available on Rumble. He invites audience members to reach out with questions, concerns, or comments at WildlifeControlConsultant@gmail.com, and he's especially interested in hosting guests who want to share their expertise or discuss industry-related topics.
This week, Stephen explores the concept of structured decision making. While not directly related to vertebrate pests, it is an essential skill for making wise choices. He introduces the eight-step decision-making process advocated by Dr. Annie Duke, a renowned expert in decision-making psychology. These steps include framing the decision, clarifying values, handling trade-offs, gathering information, predicting outcomes, explaining the decision, making the decision, and reflecting on the process.
Stephen highlights the importance of considering the consequences of a decision, the role of emotions in decision-making, and the value of conducting postmortems to evaluate outcomes and improve future decisions. He shares examples and practical tips, drawing from Dr. Annie Duke's insights and her books, "Thinking in Bets," "How to Decide," and "Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away."
Throughout the episode, Stephen emphasizes the need to make decisions based on a structured process rather than relying solely on gut reactions or emotions. He discusses the concept of free rolls, knowing when to quit, and the significance of Ulysses contracts in decision-making. He also highlights the benefits of seeking help and advice from trusted individuals who can offer unbiased perspectives.
Stephen concludes by inviting listeners to join the Pesky Podcast family on Facebook and encourages them to engage with the show. He thanks everyone for tuning in and reminds them to live the wildlife, not be the wildlife.

Stephen Van Tassel, Wildlife Control consultant, discusses an article about armadillos, expressing his fascination with these creatures and their potential for causing damage. He highlights that while he hasn't personally dealt with armadillo control, those in the southern states have the opportunity to address the issues caused by them. Armadillos can be destructive to people's turf and ground nesting birds, which is a concern for hunting camps and private hunting parks in the South. He briefly mentions the potential health risks associated with armadillos, including Chagas disease and leprosy, cautioning listeners to handle them carefully.
The main topic of the episode revolves around an alternative but promising method for capturing armadillos, which Stephen Van Tassel discovered in an article by David L. Bergman, Robert D. Blewett, and Alan R. Tipton. He outlines the existing methods for capturing armadillos, such as capturing them by hand or using a hand net, baited cage traps, drift nets, fences with cage traps, and footholds where legal. He then introduces the unique method called the "dogs and trap combo," which involves training dogs to locate active armadillo burrows. The dogs are trained similarly to those used for capturing raccoons, and their task is to identify holes occupied by armadillos or corner the armadillos for capture.
Stephen Van Tassel describes the specific conditions under which the dog and trap method works best, including temperature (between 70 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit), humidity (over 50 percent), and partly to fully overcast skies. He emphasizes the importance of ensuring the dogs do not overheat during the process. He also mentions that the researchers found dusk and nightfall to be the most effective times for armadillo searches. While this method is primarily useful for large landscape areas, he suggests that wildlife control operators with dogs may consider training their dogs for armadillo capture to enhance their services.
To illustrate the process visually, Stephen Van Tassel explains that the trained dog locates an active armadillo burrow, and the trapper then sets a large trap, preferably 42 inches or larger, near the hole. A 12-inch tall fence made of 1x2 mesh is anchored around the trap and the hole to guide the armadillo into the trap. The researchers used a one-door cage trap, but Stephen Van Tassel suggests that a two-door trap might be more effective. He mentions that armadillos were not prone to digging underneath the fence. Overall, the researchers experienced success with this method, losing only one armadillo due to a fence not properly secured to the ground.
Stephen Van Tassel concludes by noting that the dog and trap combo method may be particularly useful during winter when temperatures are more suitable for both dogs and armadillos. He encourages wildlife control operators to consider incorporating this method if they encounter large-scale armadillo removal jobs, as it may lead to quicker and more efficient results. He invites feedback and further discussion on the topic, expressing gratitude for the support and engagement of his audience.

Welcome to another episode of "Living the Wildlife" with Stephen Vantassel, Wildlife Control consultant.
On this episode, Stephen dives into the challenge of finding and removing odors in wildlife control. He discusses various types of odors, such as food, dead animal smell, urine, mold, skunk odor, and living animal smells like bat guano and raccoon odor. Stephen emphasizes the importance of considering different sources of odor and thinking about where they might be coming from.
He explains the need to interview clients to gather information about the odor, such as its location, timing, and any activities or controls they have implemented. Stephen advises asking specific questions and talking to people with firsthand knowledge of the location to get a clearer picture.
When arriving at the location, Stephen suggests determining whether the odor is indoors or outdoors, as this can guide the investigation. He mentions the unique nature of chimneys and how animals may die above the damper, causing the odor to permeate into the living space. Stephen also mentions the importance of understanding building construction and layout to avoid being deceived by the odor's location.
When dealing with odors, it is helpful to remember that odors may be trapped within walls. Sometimes, rodents like mice can get stuck in wall studs, preventing them from climbing up or escaping. This can result in a foul odor permeating the house. Understanding the dynamics of airflow is crucial here, as certain factors can influence how strong or noticeable the odor becomes. Factors such as the size of the mouse, the smoothness of the wood, and the level of ventilation in the attic all play a role.
Locating the source of the odor without cutting into walls is preferred. Cutting into walls can be tricky and may lead to unintended consequences, such as damaging the structure or ending up on the wrong side of the stud. To avoid this, utilizing tools like stud finders and fiber optic scopes can be immensely helpful. However, always ensure you have the client's permission to make any cuts, and be confident in your ability to perform repairs or have the client sign off on taking responsibility.
Stephen shares a personal experience where he cut into a wall to investigate a sound, only to discover that the sound was actually coming from an appliance on the other side. This highlights the importance of being methodical and avoiding rushing to judgments. Working systematically and involving the client or a co-worker in the investigation process can help narrow down the source of the odor more accurately.
Once the odor source is located, it's essential to understand the various methods for treating odors effectively. Stephen explains four key strategies: removing the source, masking the odor with a more pleasant scent, degrading the odor through dilution, and encapsulating the odor to prevent its release. These methods can be used individually or in combination, depending on the situation. It's crucial to keep in mind that each odor situation is unique, and the effectiveness of these methods may vary.
Stephen reminds us that it's essential to provide clear instructions and emphasize following the label instructions of any deodorizing chemicals used. Additionally, it's essential to consider potential legal requirements, as deodorizing may be treated as a pesticide application in some states, necessitating proper training and licensing.
Throughout the video, Stephen provides practical advice for clients to minimize odors in their homes, such as ensuring proper air movement, washing clothes, and changing air filters regularly. He also advises caution when using scented candles, as they can pose a fire hazard.

In this episode of Living The Wildlife podcast, Stephen Vantassel, a wildlife control consultant, discusses the importance of protecting hands with gloves when handling bats. He starts by welcoming his listeners and encouraging them to subscribe to the channel and leave a five-star review. He also mentions that listeners can download his podcast at Rumble.com. He then talks about safety issues related to bat removal, especially when removing young from living spaces. Vantassel discusses the importance of protecting hands with gloves and the balance between dexterity and protection.
He then talks about an interesting article written by Dr. Patricia Freeman and Dr. Cliff A. Lemen from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln entitled "Puncture Resistance of Gloves for the Handling of Bats." Vantassel summarizes the research carried out in the article, which aimed to find the most puncture-resistant gloves for handling bats while maintaining manual dexterity. The researchers calculated the sharpness of a bat's tooth and created a puncture tool that mirrored its sharpness. They then mechanically tested the puncture resistance of various types of gloves, including split cow, pig, deer, goat, top-grain cow, elk, cotton, and rubberized cotton gloves.
Vantassel explains that the researchers standardized the amount of force being used to test each glove and found that the thickness of the glove was crucial in determining the level of protection it offered. Thicker gloves provided more protection but less dexterity. On the other hand, thinner gloves offered more dexterity but less protection.
Stephen provides some information on how to protect oneself from bats, specifically regarding gloves to wear while handling them. Deerskin gloves are not as protective as split cowhide gloves, but they still offer about 82% of the protection provided by split leather gloves. Medium-sized bats would include big brown bats, which weigh 15 grams, and hoary bats, which weigh up to 25 grams. Large bats, on the other hand, would include the greater spear-nosed bat at 90 grams and the great fruit-eating bat at 70 grams. Anything 1.4 ounces or larger is considered a large size bat, while anything smaller than that is a medium to small bat. In terms of the ability to puncture, split cowhide gloves offer the best protection, while goat skin gloves offer the least protection. Elk skin gloves offer more protection than goat, but they can be pretty expensive. It is best to consult with a doctor about getting rabies prophylaxis shots before being bitten by a bat. Vantassel recommends Patricia Freeman and Cliff Lemon's article "Puncture Resistance of Gloves for Handling Bats" published in the Journal of Wildlife Management in 2009 for more information on protective gloves for handling bats.
In conclusion, the importance of protecting oneself when handling bats cannot be overstated, as it can prevent the transmission of rabies and other diseases. Stephen Vantassel's discussion on the different types of gloves and their levels of protection can serve as a valuable guide for wildlife control consultants, researchers, and enthusiasts alike. It is crucial to strike a balance between dexterity and protection when selecting gloves for bat handling. Vantassel's recommendation of Patricia Freeman and Cliff Lemon's article serves as a great starting point for anyone interested in further exploring the topic. However, this information needs to be widely disseminated to all individuals involved in bat handling, including homeowners and pest control operators. It is our collective responsibility to protect ourselves and these fascinating creatures while maintaining a healthy balance. So, let us spread the word and encourage everyone to adopt safe practices when handling bats by wearing the appropriate gloves and getting vaccinated against rabies.

On today's episode of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, wildlife control consultant and host, Stephen Van Tassel, introduces part two of his interview with Tate Morgan, the president of Lead Squirrel, a marketing firm specializing in animal control marketing.
In the interview, Tate Morgan talks about embedding oneself in the community to solidify their place in it. He recommends sponsoring a community Little League team and writing a press release to be sent to the editors of every local newspaper. Tate explains that this is a great way to get local press and a local backlink, which is significant for SEO. He emphasizes that marketing and advertising do not require any magic or special sauce, but instead, it involves being a normal human being and showing people that one exists in a way that provides some value to people without being pushy.
The conversation touches on the potential impact of AI on the marketing community. Tate believes that while AI may not necessarily disrupt the marketing community as a whole, it will disrupt the people who are resistant to change and stick to traditional strategies. The fear of AI taking away jobs from creatives is justified, but the tools being made available will make good creatives better and make middle-of-the-line work irrelevant. This will result in a hollowing out of the industry, where only the people at the top end will benefit, and those in the middle will lose their jobs.
The conversation also draws a parallel between the website and code development industry and the impact of AI on content creation and writing. The availability of website-building tools like Wix, WordPress, and Squarespace has made website creation accessible to anyone, but it also differentiated the best website designers and software developers from others. Similarly, AI will differentiate good content creators from mediocre ones, and those who are resistant to change and adoption of AI will be left behind.
Tate recommends trying out AI and being cognizant of its impact on the industry. Using AI tools like Chat GPT to write agreements can save time and money. However, if one is uncomfortable with AI's impact on the industry, they can choose not to use it. Tate concludes that adoption of AI is crucial to staying competitive in the industry and encourages people to embrace it.
Tate encourages listeners to be honest about their resources and to provide the necessary information for a successful campaign. Tate also emphasizes the need to align three key factors for effective marketing: intent, copy/creative, and customer experience. He notes that if these three things are in alignment, a company's conversion rates will improve, and its cost-per-click will decrease.
Tate suggests that businesses should be prepared to provide read access to their analytics and Google ads if they want a more in-depth analysis. However, he notes that if they are not comfortable doing so, they can at least provide their URL and Google business profile for a basic analysis. Tate encourages listeners to understand the competitive nature of some markets and to be willing to spend more if necessary to stand out.
Overall, Tate provides a comprehensive overview of the importance of marketing and advertising for business growth. He stresses the need for companies to have realistic goals and highlights the importance of aligning intent, copy/creative, and customer experience for effective marketing. He recommends that companies be transparent and provide access to their analytics and Google ads for a more in-depth analysis.

In this episode of Pestgeek Podcast, Franklin Hernandez shares his insights on how to provide excellent customer service in the pest control management industry. Hernandez introduces his own version of the ABCs of sales, which he calls the ABCs of service - Always Be Caring. According to him, demonstrating genuine care towards customers is crucial as it builds trust and respect, regardless of whether you're an introvert or extrovert. It's important to show that you care about what matters to your customers, such as their families, pets, and property, to establish yourself as a trusted expert in the pest control business.
Hernandez also emphasizes the significance of training not only the sales team but also the technical team, which is responsible for delivering the pest control service. Many companies invest heavily in sales training but tend to overlook technical training, which can lead to poor customer service. By equipping the technical team with the latest gear and the best training, they can feel proud of their work and provide excellent customer service.
Furthermore, Hernandez stresses the importance of believing in the pest control product, service, and company. If you're not passionate about what you do and don't believe in your company's mission, you're not only doing yourself a disservice but also robbing your customers of the best possible pest control solutions. Providing excellent customer service in the pest control management industry requires always being caring, believing in yourself, your product, service, training, and support, and projecting that confidence to your customers. The title for this episode could be "The Power of Caring: 3 Essentials for Exceptional Pest Control Management Customer Service".

Welcome to Living the Wildlife podcast! In this episode, Stephen Van Tassel, a wildlife control consultant, discusses all things related to vertebrate pest control as part of the Pest Geek Podcast family. It's important to follow national, state, provincial, and local laws when using pesticides and other control methods to manage pests. Note that Wildlife Control Consultant LLC, Pesky Podcast, Living the Wildlife Podcast, Stephen M.

Stephen Van Tassel recently attended the wildlife damage management conference in Utah, where he spoke about a program he's involved in. He shares his experience and encourages everyone to subscribe to the channel, ring the bell, and give a five-star review. If you don't want to use YouTube, you can find his podcast on Rumble. You can also reach out to him on Facebook or via email.
The guest for this episode is Tate Morgan, the president of Lead Squirrel, who specializes in animal control marketing, which is essential in a highly competitive market. Tate talks about his background and journey into the marketing realm, which began with e-commerce in the outdoor industry. Tate discusses the importance of the metric of 10x revenue, which means that a business should aim for a return on investment of 10 times the amount of money spent on marketing. He mentions that his company has structured its service packages around this metric and highlights that each package has a recommended fit, expected outcomes, and services included.
Tate also emphasizes that a website is a foundation for businesses and having a website provides a locus of control, which is critical in 2023. They discuss the importance of owning a URL and having a website tied to it. Their company does website development mostly in WordPress, which is user-friendly and provides tools like Yoast SEO and All-in-One SEO to create webpages with SEO in mind.
LSA ads have been a game changer for many pest control businesses, as they allow them to acquire customers at a much lower cost than traditional Google ads. However, some companies may misunderstand their licensing requirements, especially when it comes to wildlife control, which is regulated by state wildlife agencies. It's possible that Google will eventually start checking state license registries to ensure compliance, but for now, they have been slow to bring wildlife removal into their confirmed categories due to issues with uniformity from state to state.
The $4.99 per month service provided by the company being discussed includes a templated five-page website tailored to each business, with different imagery and copy. The five core pages include a home page, a locations page, a services page, an about us page, and a contact page. Each page serves a specific purpose, such as pushing people into the sales process or improving SEO. The about us page, for example, is the second most viewed page on any website and allows potential customers to build trust in the company's knowledge and expertise.
If you're a pest control business looking to improve your online presence and acquire customers at a lower cost, consider checking your licensing requirements and investing in a professional website that showcases your services and expertise. And don't forget to listen to Living the Wildlife podcast and subscribe to Stephen Van Tassel's channel! This episode with Tate Morgan is not to be missed.

In this episode (2016 rebroadcast) of the Pestgeek Podcast, Franklin "The Pestgeek" Hernandez addresses the issue of second-generation rodenticides, which are currently under attack under new rodenticide laws similar to those in Europe. He notes that while his company is not using second-generation rodenticides unless there is a specific situation, there are some products that are being encouraged for responsible use. The British Pest Control Association has sent a letter to their government asking them not to remove the second-generation rodenticides, which are up for review in 2017, due to the negative impact it would have on the industry. Similarly, California is also dealing with the same issue.
Hernandez discusses the responsibility that pest control operators have when it comes to using rodenticides. He highlights that most operators are careful, particularly when it comes to second-generation rodenticides. However, there are still some operators who are not as careful and may put rodenticides in areas that are accessible to children and pets. This is particularly concerning as rodenticides are toxic and can be fatal if ingested. The government has taken steps to remove rodenticides from over-the-counter sales, but there are still some manufacturers who are fighting it.
Hernandez argues that the use of rodenticides should be regulated and that people who use them should be licensed, trained, and certified. He notes that manufacturers who fight the regulation are more concerned with their sales than with people's safety and the environment. Hernandez urges people to be responsible when using rodenticides and to be aware of the potential risks associated with their use.
Overall, this episode highlights the importance of responsible rodenticide use and the need for regulation in the industry. Hernandez's call to action serves as a reminder that people should be aware of the potential dangers associated with rodenticides and take steps to mitigate those risks. By doing so, they can help protect not only their families and pets but also the environment.

In this episode of "Living The Wildlife," host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel discusses vultures, a topic that may seem niche but could become a concern for those with vulture-related issues. Vantassel believes their numbers are increasing, and their range is expanding, making them more of a concern for some. Vantassel emphasizes the importance of learning about topics outside of one's discipline. He also notes that vultures are federally protected birds, which can be an impediment for those who want to control vulture damage. Vantassel provides an overview of the migratory bird treaty act, an international treaty that protects birds that cross international boundaries, including all native birds to the United States. He also mentions that states and municipalities may have additional regulations, and obtaining federal and state permits is necessary for those seeking a depredation permit.
When vultures are roosting on structures, it is not recommended to use tall, thin spikes that are spaced out because the birds will bend them down and continue to roost on them. It's important to understand that these birds are powerful and can scratch and gouge surfaces, and may even peel off rubber from roofs. Also, the birds tend to congregate, and their excrement can cause an ammonia smell and a sense of doom, which can be emotionally challenging for clients dealing with the problem. Therefore, it's important for those in the field to be emotionally sensitive and offer support to clients.
Habitat modification is important in controlling the problem. While eliminating food sources won't solve the problem, it can help because the birds won't hang around as long. Proper waste and garbage management is necessary, especially in agricultural areas where ranchers and livestock handlers should make sure to calve undercover, as this could attract the birds.
Regarding situations where the birds are roosting in trees, tree thinning may help to move them along, but it may not be sufficient to drive them away. The tree thinning process must be done correctly to give the tree the best chance to survive, and it may be wise to hire an arborist for the job. In situations where the birds are roosting on structures, tall, thin spikes should not be used as the birds will bend them down and continue to roost on them.
Stephen Van Tassel also talks about how to manage vultures as a part of wildlife damage management. He begins by explaining that vultures can cause damage by roosting and nesting in unwanted areas, such as roofs, attics, and gutters, leading to health hazards, noise pollution, and property damage. He suggests several non-lethal methods for managing vultures, such as using decoys, effigies, and netting. Stephen emphasizes the importance of securing effigies and decoys as they can wear out over time.
He then discusses the use of artificial effigies made of plastic or fake feathers and mentions that they can be effective in managing vultures. However, he notes that they are difficult to locate, and the ones available seem to be out of stock. Stephen shows a few examples of vulture effigies available on Amazon and Walmart, but they are either dolls or out of stock and suggests that this could be an opportunity for someone to start a business if they can find a source for artificial vultures. He also mentions that pyrotechnics can be used in some areas, but it's not always a viable option. Lastly, Stephen recommends a publication by Avery and Lowney in 2016 as a primary source for managing vultures.
This video provides some valuable insights on managing vultures as a part of wildlife damage management. He emphasizes the importance of non-lethal methods and highlights the use of artificial effigies as a useful tool.

Welcome to this episode of the Pestgeek Podcast with Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez, a highly experienced integrated pest control management professional. In this video, we'll be discussing a brand new box of In2care that I recently ordered. I purchased eight of these units for this property.
Compared to Inzecto, In2care is going to be about 33 percent more effective on my calculations and less expensive than Inzecto. So, Inzecto now has some serious competition. As a result, we're expecting that the price of sachets for In2care will go down because the sachets replacement are seven dollars if you buy a hundred bucks and they're nine dollars if you buy a 50 box, which is very expensive.
Then, you have to decide how many you need on a property. A property this big is probably going to be eight to ten of these. So, these are eleven dollars a piece right now. If we can put eight and solve it, we're looking at 88 dollars every three months because they're changed out every three months, unlike Inzecto that has to be changed monthly or every 45 days.
We're testing them out and pushing Inzecto to two months to see what happens, see if we can still get the control and see if we can see the larvae and what the client experiences. Because you have to compete in a marketplace, and when you're competing against spray companies charging for two services among a hundred dollars a spray service, we're starting out at anywhere between 89 to 109 dollars a month for one monthly visit. The customer calculates price based on the monthly visit. Well, he's visiting me twice a month; you're only visiting me once a month, and you have to compete with that.
But what we're buying is the result. It's Permethrin with pyroproxyphen. That's the label right there. You fill this little thing up to the line like right here and then you basically put it somewhere or hang it. We're going to get some wire ties because I'm going to hang it from between trees and shrubs outside so they don't get damaged. The landscapers don't destroy them, dogs can't get to it, kids can't get to it. So, I'm going to put about six feet in the air, which is really good for mosquitoes. You can go as high as 15, but six to eight feet is going to be really good.
In some cases, we're going to put it close to the ground. What you want with mosquitoes is you're putting it in places where there's very little air movement. They're going to like where there's no air movement. It's dark, wet, and there's water. If you can create the perfect environment, there are our rodent stations back here. We might stick this product, In2care, back here, which is really far away from the property and maybe just hang it here, you see? And not, you know, that way we're in an area where it's nice, there's a wall, the air is being blocked. If we can stick it behind the tree where the air is blocking it in a corner somewhere, that's the ideal place for putting these types of stations. It's where there's very little air movement, there is a lot of shade, and possibly the water, and the water is going to be in here. So, we create the perfect environment for a mosquito to want to be in.
Thank you for watching this video on In2care by Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez. As a fellow pest control professional, we hope you found this information helpful in your work.

Welcome to "Living the Wildlife", a podcast that discusses all things related to vertebrate pest control. As part of the "Pest Geek Podcast" family, we provide information and advice on how to manage pests safely and responsibly. Please note that Wildlife Control Consultant LLC, Pesgeek Podcast, Living the Wildlife Podcast, and Stephen M Van Tassel, or any of their affiliates, are not responsible for the use of the information provided in this podcast. In this episode, Stephen Van Tassel introduces the "Good Nature A18" trap, which is a larger version of the A24 trap designed for squirrels. He discusses the similarities and differences between rats and squirrels and how the A18 can provide additional flexibility in capturing squirrels. However, he emphasizes that this is not a toy and may not be legal in all states. Therefore, it is important to follow national, state, provincial, and local laws when using pesticides or other control methods to manage pests. In addition, Stephen talks about how to set up the Goodnature A18 self-resetting trap, as well as some concerns and potential solutions. He starts by demonstrating how to attach the trap to a post, tree, or wall with the provided cover. He then explains that the trap needs to be about four to five inches off the ground to allow squirrels to stand and get their heads inside. Alternatively, it can be placed against a tree or secured with a stick to avoid damaging the tree bark. Stephen also mentions that Goodnature will likely release additional equipment, such as a bait station, for this trap. He expresses his excitement to test it out and encourages viewers to share their own experiences and videos of the trap in the field. However, Stephen also brings up a concern regarding pets, such as raccoons, cats, and dogs, which could be attracted to the trap's bait and inadvertently trigger the piston, causing harm. He suggests placing the trap in elevated areas with a platform to prevent pets from getting hurt. He also explains how the Goodnature A18 counter can be used to keep track of how many times the trap has been triggered, although a trail camera can also be used for this purpose. Overall, Stephen sees the Goodnature A18 trap as a useful tool, especially for those who live in areas with few restrictions on trapping. He believes it is a valuable addition to the Goodnature A24 trap, which he has previously discussed in another podcast.

In this video, Christian Allen, owner of TailorMade Pest Control, talks about pricing in the pest control industry. As gas prices have risen, some people have been asking if he is raising his prices, but Christian shares that he has no plans to do so. He believes in the value of his service and, when he started out, he priced his services higher than others because he believed in the worth of what he offered. However, he soon found out that people are often more focused on price, so he lowered his prices and waived initial fees to attract customers.
Now, his business has grown to about $3,000 a month, and he is still more expensive than many of his competitors. He admits that he may raise his prices in the future, but for now, he is comfortable with where they are at. Christian emphasizes the importance of knowing your worth and pricing your services accordingly. He believes in value-based pricing over an hourly rate and focuses on selling peace of mind rather than just pest control. He takes the time to figure out the problem and ensures that it won't come back. Christian challenges everyone to know their worth and to find the balance between pricing and profitability while getting their name out there and building a customer base.
Christian's approach to pricing is refreshing and reflects his commitment to providing high-quality pest control services. His emphasis on value-based pricing is a reflection of his belief in his work and its value to his customers. He is not focused solely on profitability but rather on building a customer base and ensuring that his services meet the needs of his customers. His willingness to waive fees and lower his prices to attract customers demonstrates his commitment to building a successful business.

Welcome to the Living The Wildlife Podcast, where I, Stephen Vantassel, your host and wildlife control consultant, discuss common problems that many professionals encounter but don't have a good solution for. In today's episode, we'll be discussing the challenges of vertebrate pest control and how to help clients resolve these conflicts.
As wildlife control professionals, it's important to help our clients solve the problem so that we're not constantly in a situation where we're just in the "Killing Zone." While insects are a different situation for pest controllers, vertebrate control can often be successful if our clients follow our instructions. It's possible to exclude a structure from access with vertebrates, but it may be significantly harder to do against insects. Additionally, people can bring insects into a structure, even if it's pest-proof. So, it's important to recognize that vertebrate pest control is different and we need to help our clients resolve the problem.
Habitat modification is a crucial aspect of vertebrate pest control. It involves removing or modifying bird feeders, taking care of trash cans, reducing water sources, cutting back branches that lean over buildings, and making it harder for animals to access the structure through climbing. However, sometimes animals are using electrical wires or other forms of wires to access the structure, making it much more difficult to prevent animals from climbing.
That's where Critterguard comes in. Critterguard is a company that offers guards for power and communication lines to prevent animals from climbing them and accessing structures. However, safety is key, and I stress the importance of never doing anything near an active power line. It's important to contact the local electric company and have them come out to either take the power off or insulate it to a sufficient extent so that it's safe to work near it.
The Line Guard device, produced by Critter Guard, is designed to prevent animals from accessing power lines. The device is a series of rollers that spin freely, preventing animals from being able to climb up the power line. This is a long-term solution that can save money on continually hiring professionals to remove animals from power lines. If the power line is not electrified, the Line Guard device can be installed by the user themselves, but if it is electrified, the utility company may need to be involved in the installation. Fortunately, electrical utility companies are typically customer-friendly and would be open to helping customers install the Line Guard device.
In addition to Line Guard, there's also Pole Guard, which is designed to prevent animals from climbing telephone poles. Pole Guard works on a similar principle of rollers spinning freely, preventing animals from being able to climb up the pole. It may be useful for preventing access by larger animals such as raccoons or possums, but may not be as effective for smaller animals such as snakes or rats.
While there are other solutions for preventing animals from accessing power lines, such as using aluminum flashing around the pole, the Line Guard device is a more effective long-term solution that can save money on continually hiring professionals to remove animals from power lines.
In conclusion, this episode provides valuable insights into the challenges of vertebrate pest control and how to help clients resolve these conflicts. By offering solutions such as Critterguard and emphasizing safety, wildlife control professionals can successfully help their clients without resorting to constant killing. Thank you for tuning in to Living The Wildlife Podcast, and I hope to see you again soon.

In this episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez delves into the challenges encountered by pest control professionals in South Florida due to the slowing economy and increasing costs. He emphasizes the impending rodenticide law and how it will impact the industry, a topic he has been warning about since 2015. Unlike other media outlets, Franklin openly discusses the real problems faced by the industry and offers insights on IPM, holistic, natural, and organic solutions. This video is a must-watch for industry professionals who want to stay up-to-date with the latest developments.
Franklin also shares his views on the proposed rodenticide ban and how it will affect the industry. He explains how some customers are unwilling to pay for exclusion and prefer less expensive solutions, such as using rodenticides. Franklin highlights his approach to dealing with rodent problems, which involves trapping and using exterior stations. He talks about the challenges of selling services in Miami, where customers are accustomed to haggling for the lowest price. He also provides insights into the proposed restrictions on rodenticides and pesticides. Franklin emphasizes the importance of educating clients about the value of their services and the need to fix the root of the problem to prevent future pest issues.
In addition to other topics, Franklin discusses the impact of the new regulation requiring farmers to be licensed and trained in using rodenticides. While some pest control operators may be enthusiastic about the potential for increased business, Hernandez explains that farmers will not be able to afford the rates, and a lot of training will be required for pest control operators to work on farms. Additionally, the cost of collecting dead rodents on large farms will be astronomical. Hernandez predicts that the price of food will rise, and the average person will be affected. He underscores the importance of fixing entry points and putting good seals on buildings to prevent rodent problems instead of relying on rodenticides. He also notes that many of the rodent problems they encounter are basic and could be resolved with simple repair work. Pest control operators must concentrate on providing value to their clients by addressing these issues rather than relying on expensive solutions.

In this episode of "Living the Wildlife" podcast, join wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel as he discusses the importance of good quality photographs in the wildlife control industry. Learn how to ensure that your photos have enough scale to hold up in court if needed, especially when evaluating an insurance claim or creating training materials. Stephen also shares his passion for photography and how it helps him in his work as a consultant.
Discover the significance of having a scale when taking photographs in the wildlife control industry in this YouTube video description. In this episode, we discuss various options for dealing with scale, including using coinage, a ruler, a standard object like a Leatherman, or purchasing credit card-sized scale cards. These durable cards have inches and centimeters on both sides, making them perfect for carrying in your wallet. We also discuss the importance of scale when taking photographs and how to ensure that your photos are clear and precise.
Before wrapping up, Stephen shares one more thing you need to know before you go. He talks about the importance of forensic-style scale markers or rulers, which can make a huge difference in the quality of your photos. Although they are not easy to carry around, these rulers are perfect for situations where you need to take high-quality photos for a lawsuit or an insurance claim.

The purpose of this document is to establish a comprehensive protocol for Wildlife Control Operators (WCOs) to clean up raccoon latrines within structures. These latrines pose a significant health risk to humans due to the potential presence of Baylisascaris procyonis, commonly known as raccoon roundworm. While government agencies have provided guidelines for outdoor latrine removal, there is a lack of industry standards for indoor latrine cleanup services. To ensure the safety of clients and WCOs and prevent unethical business practices, a standardized protocol is necessary. This document will specifically address the removal of raccoon latrines within structures and address safety and ethical concerns related to offering these services.

It's great to hear that you are taking a thoughtful and responsible approach to pest control, considering the well-being of both people and the environment. It's important to recognize that chemical treatments are not always the best or only solution, and that alternative methods can often be just as effective.
In this case, it's also wise to address the source of the problem in the vacant field across the street, rather than just treating the individual townhouse. Collaborating with the HOA and neighboring properties can also be an effective way to manage pests in a community.
It's encouraging to see pest control professionals taking a more holistic and environmentally conscious approach to their work. This approach not only protects people and the environment but can also lead to more effective and long-term pest management solutions.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) provides guidelines for the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) for wildlife animal euthanasia. Here are some of the best practices for CO2 euthanasia of wildlife animals according to AVMA:
Use by trained personnel: Only trained personnel should administer CO2 euthanasia. Proper training should include instruction on the equipment used, the method of administration, and the signs of successful euthanasia.
Environment: The euthanasia should be carried out in a quiet and stress-free environment with minimal distractions. This can help reduce the animal's anxiety and improve the overall process.
Equipment maintenance: The equipment used for CO2 euthanasia should be well-maintained and regularly checked for leaks and proper functioning.
Animal preparation: Prior to euthanasia, animals should be properly restrained, calm, and given appropriate sedation if necessary.
CO2 delivery: The CO2 should be delivered in a gradual and controlled manner to minimize the animal's distress. The flow rate and concentration of CO2 should be appropriate for the size of the animal and the equipment being used.
Monitoring: Personnel should monitor the animal throughout the euthanasia process to ensure that it is unconscious and experiencing minimal distress. Signs of successful euthanasia include a lack of movement, slowed or stopped breathing, and dilated pupils.
Disposal: After euthanasia, the animal's body should be disposed of in a respectful and appropriate manner according to local laws and regulations.
It's important to note that these guidelines are not exhaustive and may vary depending on the specific circumstances and type of wildlife animal being euthanized. It's always recommended to consult with a wildlife veterinarian or animal welfare professional for guidance on best practices for CO2 euthanasia of wildlife animals.

When it comes to advertising, marketing, and strategic sales, the amount of time required to determine whether a strategy is successful can vary widely depending on various factors such as the product, target audience, industry, and competition.
In general, advertising and marketing campaigns typically take time to gain traction and generate measurable results. It's important to have realistic expectations and give a strategy enough time to produce meaningful data before making a decision on whether to continue or pivot.
A commonly used timeframe to evaluate the success of an advertising or marketing campaign is between 3-6 months. This allows enough time for the campaign to gain traction and generate enough data to make informed decisions. However, it's also important to continually track and analyze results throughout the campaign's duration to make adjustments as needed.
For strategic sales, the timeframe for determining success can also vary depending on the industry and type of product or service being sold. Some sales cycles may be short, while others may take several months or even years to complete. It's important to set clear goals and expectations for each sales opportunity and regularly evaluate progress to determine whether to continue or pivot the strategy.
Overall, the amount of time allowed for a strategy to work before giving up on it should be based on realistic expectations, industry norms, and continuous evaluation of results.

The National Wildlife Research Center is conducting groundbreaking research on genetic mutations in rats that confer resistance to second-generation rodenticides. This study is being led by Dr. Niam Quinn and Dr. Toni Piaggio.
The focus of this study is on the VKORC1 gene, which is responsible for producing the VKOR enzyme. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process, and it is also the target of many anticoagulant rodenticides. By identifying mutations in the VKORC1 gene, the researchers hope to better understand how rats can develop resistance to these toxic substances.

Large Patch Disease is a common fungal disease that affects St. Augustine grass, which is a popular turfgrass variety used in warm-season areas. Large Patch Disease, also known as Rhizoctonia solani, is a disease that can cause significant damage to St. Augustine lawns, resulting in brown patches that can be unsightly and frustrating for homeowners.
There are several reasons why Large Patch Disease may occur in St. Augustine lawns. The fungus that causes the disease thrives in cool and damp conditions, so it is often seen during the fall and winter months when temperatures are cooler and humidity levels are higher. Additionally, overwatering or poor drainage can create the moist conditions that are ideal for the fungus to grow.
Another contributing factor is soil compaction, which can limit the flow of air and water to the roots of the grass, making it more susceptible to disease. Nutrient deficiencies and imbalances, particularly low levels of potassium, can also weaken the grass and make it more susceptible to Large Patch Disease.
To prevent Large Patch Disease from occurring in St. Augustine lawns, it is essential to maintain proper lawn care practices, including proper watering, fertilization, and mowing techniques. Regular soil testing can also help identify nutrient deficiencies and imbalances that can be corrected through proper fertilization.
If Large Patch Disease is already present, fungicides can be used to treat the affected areas, but it is essential to follow the label instructions carefully to avoid damaging the grass. In severe cases, it may be necessary to re-sod the affected areas to restore the lawn's health and appearance.
In conclusion, Large Patch Disease is a common fungal disease that can affect St. Augustine lawns, but it can be prevented through proper lawn care practices, including proper watering, fertilization, and soil testing. If the disease is already present, fungicides can be used to treat the affected areas, but it is important to follow label instructions carefully to avoid further damage to the grass.

In the book "The 6 Types of Working Genius" by Patrick Lencioni, the author explores the concept of genius in the context of leadership and team building. Through extensive research and real-life examples, Lencioni identifies and defines 6 distinct types of working geniuses, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in leadership development and organizational health. Lencioni's 6 geniuses provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the strengths and limitations of different leaders and team members. This knowledge is invaluable for any leader or manager looking to build a strong, high-performing team.
The 6 types of working geniuses identified in the book are: the strategist, the thinker, the harmonizer, the adventurer, the executor, and the visionary. Each type is described in detail, including its strengths and weaknesses, and how it contributes to the success of a team.
Lencioni's concept of "the table group" is also introduced in this book, which refers to the idea that all team members should have equal standing at the table, regardless of their position or title. This concept is key to creating a healthy organizational culture, and is central to Lencioni's approach to leadership development.
In addition to identifying the 6 types of working geniuses, the book also includes a strength assessment tool to help readers determine their own dominant genius type. This self-awareness is crucial for personal growth and leadership development, and will help readers understand their own strengths and limitations, as well as those of their team members.
For those looking to improve their leadership skills and build stronger, more effective teams, "The 6 Types of Working Genius" is a must-read.

The frequency of follow-up services for German roach control is an important factor in determining how quickly you can get the infestation under control. The more frequently you follow-up, the faster you can identify any new infestations and take action to eliminate them. Here are some guidelines for follow-up service frequency: Initial follow-up: Within a few days of the initial treatment, a follow-up inspection should be performed to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. Regular follow-up: Depending on the severity of the infestation, follow-up inspections should be performed at regular intervals, typically every two to four weeks. Long-term follow-up: Once the infestation is under control, long-term follow-up inspections should be performed at least every three to six months to ensure that the infestation does not re-emerge. The frequency of follow-up services will vary depending on the severity of the infestation and the level of risk for reinfestation. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that the infestation is effectively managed and that you maintain control over the pests.

PPE (personal protective equipment) is required when using fertilizers because of the potential inhalation hazards. Fertilizers contain various chemicals and dust particles that can cause respiratory problems when inhaled. In addition, some fertilizers may contain harmful chemicals that can cause skin irritation or other health problems if they come into contact with the skin. PPE such as gloves, goggles, masks, and protective clothing can help to minimize these risks by providing a barrier between the user and the fertilizer. For example, wearing gloves can protect the skin from contact with chemicals, while wearing a mask can help to prevent inhalation of dust and other particles. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using fertilizers and to wear the appropriate PPE at all times. If you have any concerns about using fertilizers, it is best to consult with a professional or the manufacturer for additional guidance. Proper use of PPE can help to ensure that you are using fertilizers safely and effectively, minimizing the risk of harm to yourself and others. There are 3.33% more looking inhalation hazzard on youtube than inhalation hazard. #ppe #fertilizer #hazard Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

On today's episode of Pestgeek Podcast, host and Integrated Pest Management Professional Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez shows how glue boards are placed under the refrigerator and stove to monitor the reduction of a German roach population. This one in particular was placed on a Friday and inspected on a Monday. Live nymphs are clearly visible. The purpose is to understand and determine the effectiveness of the control of this infestation. After 3 months of service, this board contained about 3 times more on previous visits. Many customers insist on a one time service. This is not possible however and Franklin explains why through a brief overview of German roach biology. On this board, we see about 35 nymphs. Why is this important to take into account? The ratio of nymphs to adults is about 80/20. On this occasion, we see egg casing actually hatched on the board and more adults than nymphs. The reality is we need about 3 visits to attain a dramatic decrease of the infestation. Franklin explains why.

On today's episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, host and integrated pest control specialist Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez discovers a nesting site that is enabling roaches to come out of a drain and into a restaurant. This is a severe cockroach sewer infestation. There are literally hundreds of roaches in the drainage and this will need to be covered permanently. This cannot be treated and there is not too much that can be done to stop it from coming in from the sewer.

On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, host and integrated pest control management expert Frank 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez inspects a south Florida home for white footed ants over bathroom vents and finds evidence such as the smell of dampness in the attic crawlspace. As Frank is unaware of what kind of treatment has been applied by other pest management companies dealing with this issue at this home, he is wearing a respirator to protect himself. Safety first! As he finds evidence of moisture, this issue provides a good possibility of difficult ('white-footed ants') which are known to be attracted to moisture. In addition to this, a careful inspection of the bathroom extractor may signal an entry point of ants climbing up to roof because of the trees and using the bathroom extractor to get into the bathroom. A lot of dead ants in the insulation. Dead ants over the toilet also seem to suggest this possibility. Diagnosing difficult ant problems is a challenge. Entry points are currently being treated but we are still trying to find out how they are getting in. What's next? The typical Delta dust pyrethroid pesticide used by most pest control companies is not the answer here. At this juncture Diatomaceous Earth (powder made from diatomaceous earth and selected baits that causes insects to dehydrate and die within 48 hours after contact) or Silica Gel (a desiccant known to whisk away moisture to create a protective environment of dry air) is the best option to deal with this as we work to find a solution to this difficult ant problem. #antconrol #ants #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #exterminating #exterminator #termite #ants #rats #mice #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM #pestcontrolnearme #holisticpestcontrol #naturalpestcontrol #mosquitocontrol #pestmanagement #roachcontrol #roaches #cockroaches #ants #antcontrol #mosquito #mosquitoes #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrolconsulting #pestcontrolsales Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, host and integrated pest control management expert Frank 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez explains how a beautiful brand new townhome can already be plagued by rats. This brand new construction can already have rats, ants, large roaches, spiders and silver fish. For starters, air conditioning is going to be installed and the conduits 99 out of 100 are going to be left open enabling rats to climb up the tube right up the wall in between two floors and get inside the home. There are plenty of rats, rodents -usually roof rats- all over this property because there is no rodent control being done. In addition to this, there are a lot of these openings that aren't sealed properly- especially with the spigots. A rat needs only a half an inch opening the size of one's thumb to get through. With new construction that isn't sealed one can see now other problems, for instance: the attics aren't sealed. If a rat goes up this unit it's going to go across the attic and come into another unit. Often sounding like cats doing laps on the roof, one needs to understand that when moving in, a new construction needs to get sealed with an excluder product (exclusion service) that the rodents can't eat through. In fact, if one puts foam only, they can eat through foam.

On today's episode of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel gives us a brief overview of porcupine damage. Porcupines are known as large rodents with coats of sharp spines, or quills, that protect them against predation. It is also known that the term covers two families of animals: the Old World porcupines of family Hystricidae, and the New World porcupines of family Erethizontidae. Having explored the biology of this animal in past episodes, Stephen explores the winter movement behavior in this episode as well as the reason control is essential in these cool winter months. Tree damage is the primary problem, herbaceous foods are not green anymore at this time which results in food stress for these animals as they seek to find alternatives to feed on. Porcupine tend to strip off the outer bark of trees to reveal the cambium layer containing nutrients. Tree wounds therefore expose the tree to larger elements of infection or pest predation. This impacts lumber industry as well as forestry. #porcupines #wildlifecontrol #wildliferemoval #urbanwildlife #rodentcontrol Stephen M.

On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, host and integrated pest control management expert Frank 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez explains how a beautiful brand new townhome can already be plagued by bugs. This brand new construction can already have ants, large roaches, spiders and silver fish. So how does this happen? First of all, it has been exposed to the weather for at least 12 months. More importantly, every product brought into this construction comes from warehouses where the chain of custody is unknown. In other words, we do not know if and how pests are being controlled at those warehouses. Material has been brought in from a lumber yard where there are insects. In fact, even in the completed construction, there are boxes and boxes that may be already infested with bugs. To make matters worse, there is food and water left behind. We can also see land with untreated soil that may have ant fauna such as big headed ants, crazy ants, white footed ants, and carpenter ants. Townhomes are a problem because you one part of a whole structure. #ants #roaches #silverfish #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, we explain why some things are beyond our scope, we simply cannot solve the problem. On numerous occasions we are able to restore Ixora plants on a landscape using our unique blend of Bio-based eco-friendly products. However, in some cases, no matter what methods we try, the results are less than satisfactory. This landscape has been under our care for about 15 years. Much of the Ixoras look wonderful, however, there is another section where the problems are clearly visible. We have tried iron fertilizer, excess iron, more nitrogen. Can it be a soil problem or contractor's disease? We find stress and irrigation problems. We avoid Noenicitinoid sprays on shrubs to protect the environment. Still the same issues. #gardencare #plantcare #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #pestfree Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, host and integrated pest control management specialist Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez discusses the importance of 'owning' problems that other pest control companies refuse to deal with. When customers call, it is essential to understand why you are being called. For example, evaluating construction to understand why other companies fail is an opportunity to 'own' that problem: to become the pest solution . This is part of a 3 hour startup business consultation. #businessowner #businesscoach #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
On today's episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, host and Integrated Pest Management professional Franklin 'The Pestgeek' demonstrates how crawlspaces are easy access for roaches to make their way into a home. This kind of problem calls for exclusion. For this we were able to create custom-made aluminum vinyl coated crawlspace vent that will not discolor not corrode and will last at least 10 years. Rodents, rats, mice, racoons and American roaches will be kept out. #exclusion #roaches #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #insects #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #rats #pestfree #like #mice #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
On today's edition of Living The Wildlife, host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel reviews the Fundamentals Of Mantracking. Stephen discusses his passion for inspection, particularly wildlife damage inspection, identifying signs of animals that will ensure we do proper control over the right species. In fact, Stephen has authored a book addressing this: The Wildlife Damage Inspection Handbook. If you are in the wildlife control business, you are already aware that it takes an incredible amount of energy to get that last bit of technical information. This kind of material is important because in order to expand your knowledge base in a fundamental way, you need to reach out of your experience to learn from someone else. Sometimes you have to reach outside of your discipline to see how other people gather information. Classroom, videos, podcasts and books are a good way to see information packaged in a different way. In the area of mantracking, Stephen reviews the book Fundamentals Of Mantracking by author and border patrol employee Albert 'AB' Taylor. #mantracker #wildlifecontrol #wildliferemoval #pestcontrolbusiness #pestcontrolservice #pestcontrolconsultants #wildlifecontrol Stephen M.

On today's episode of the Living The Wildlife, host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel discusses feral pigs and the concerns that this invasive species represent in terms of diseases they can potentially carry into the northern tier of the U.S.. In fact, not only is the concern in regards to the host of diseases they carry but the devastation they cause to the environment namely flora and fauna, plant life and wildlife. Erosion issues are also a concern as they are known to tear up soil which causes damage to cropland. Better bait alternatives than corn are also explored. It Is worth noting that trapping is one of the primary means of managing this invasive species with the aim of capturing the entire sounder (herd of feral hogs) rather than actually dispersing them by shooting.

On today's edition of the Pestgeek podcast, host and integrated pest management professional Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez discusses the problem of replacing the hose on a Ryobi Backpack Sprayer. This sprayer is only 4 months old and its hose already needed to be repaired previously and is already showing additional cracks along the tubing. As the hose cracked near the adapter this time, to remove this hose, one needs to buy a couple of special screwdriver sets. In fact, one screw is almost impossible to get to with a regular screwdriver. The hose itself is an 8 millimeter gauge which is difficult to find online. If you get a Ryobi backpack, it works well but replacing the hose is a major task. #ryobi #backpacksprayer #diyrepair #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #rats #pestfree #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
On today's edition of the Living The Wildlife Podcast with host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel, we explore the issue of the humanness of wildlife control methods as we witness growing concern around the country about these issues. In Fact, more people are raising questions as to what the best way to manage wildlife control conflicts is. Wildlife control operators need to have a rationale for the choices made when managing wildlife. The notion of using the same old methods of the past without reflection to see if there are better options is outdated mode of thinking. As our society moves towards a more animal welfare/rights view of animals, older traditional methods of wildlife control are being put into question. #wildlifecontrol #humanenvironment #wildliferemoval #integratedpestmanagement Stephen M.

On today's edition of The Pestgeek Podcast, host and integrated pest control management specialist Franklin Hernandez 'The Pestgeek' discusses the reality of tech burnout in the field of pest control management. Burnout is very real in the pest management field. Though rewarding on many levels, this job presents professionals with many challenges that involve grueling shifts in extremely hot weather often with little time to recover or hydrate. Pest control companies need to establish policies that ensure that their techs are given time to recover and take measures to prevent burnout. For example, truck idling policies that provide a pest control tech 15 minutes to cool off in 90 degree weather go a long way to prevent burnout. Cramps and lack of electrolytes are common and over time can lead to burnout. Pest companies need to implement policies that can help prevent this. #burnout #burnoutprevention #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
Three Royal palms and one Bismarck palm on an elevated uneven surface with rocks in between as well as tight ends that make mowing with a lawnmower impossible; a landscaper cannot mow this correctly. To maintain this, only a line trimmer or weed eater can be used with very limited success. To compound the problem, this lawn is almost entirely in the shade all day. The solution is to resod every few years. It is possible to kill the weeds that grow but it is not possible to make the grass grow in this environment. This is the reality of certain South Florida landscape designs that are poorly thought out. Plants are living organisms that need to be given what they require or they will not thrive.

If you are involved with beaver control as a wildlife control or removal specialist, today's video finds wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel (Host of Living The Wildlife) giving us an overview of the The Bailey Beaver Trap. A personal favorite of Stephen's he is quick to clarify that he does not suggest that this is not the 'end all be all' of beaver trapping. In fact, his use of this particular trap is the result of the state of Massachusetts's ban of so-called 'cruel' traps. This in effect forced Stephen as a wildlife control operator to transition to the use of caged traps.

On today's episode of the Pestgeek podcast, we are inspecting a Green Island Ficus on a Miami property with exposure to sun all day long. Having tested this irrigation system we find a stressed green island ficus. When a ficus tree is losing leaves and turning yellow, it is due to a lack of water. In fact, having experienced a month long draught with temperatures of 80s and 90s, the irrigation system was still adjusted to winter. Consequently, we find evidence of draught stress. Although there has been a tropical storm and some rain in the past month, this does not make a major difference as plants do not recover in just 30 days. Once a plant gets stressed, it will continue to get stressed. In addition to this, this zone is adjacent to a zone that is in full shade which presents another problem for an optimum irrigation system. #ficusplant #greenisland #lawncare #pestcontrolmiami #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #fogging #pestfree #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
On today's edition of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel discusses the pros and cons of belonging to an association vs. a club. To start, Stephen clarifies his thoughts on the need for wildlife control professionals to be united as an industry to make their voices heard, to lobby government more effectively. In fact, Stephen delves into the quality of the associations you belong to. Not all associations are healthy. However, there is value in joining associations.

According to the Bureau of Labor, there are only approximately 83,000 pest technicians in the country. Not only does this make it clear that there is plenty of room to get into integrated pest control but the earning potential is very high. However, there are a few things anyone thinking about getting into the holistic pest control business needs to consider well in advance as they embark on the journey towards building and running a successful pest control management business. On today's edition, holistic pest control professional Franklin Hernandez 'The Pestgeek' discusses the importance of incorporating exclusion services in one's IPM Startup Business using the 80/20 Rule. #pestcontrolbusiness #businessconsultation #businessstartup #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #insects #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #pestfree #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
On today's edition of the Pestgeek podcast, host and integrated pest management professional Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez explains why you need to perform regular irrigation system inspections. This particular yard on a Miami property is maintained on a monthly basis. On this visit, less than 30 days from our last visit, there are clear signs of draught and other problems caused by misaligned irrigation nozzles that need to be readjusted. Chinch bugs and grub are not the problem here; it is a problem with the irrigation system failing to cover certain areas. We also find a large Oak tree with roots reaching far into the landscape and competing for water.

One of the most difficult topics of discussion with a client: How do you explain to a client the threat that the use of rodenticides or the use of traps pose? The truth is, as wildlife control professionals all of our methods involve some level of risk. How do you explain risk to people who are not familiar with the complexities of risk. Research seems to suggest that we psychologically tend to 'amplify' risks for things that we do not understand or things that are out of our control. Do not skip this video.

On today's episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, host and integrated pest control management specialist Frank 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez reveals why certain landscapes are beyond the effective control an integrated pest management professional thereby rendering all attempts to maintain a beautiful lawn a task with very limited success. Over the course of ten years, we have struggled to maintain this lawn with limited success. Why? This patio for instance contains a massive oak tree that casts a shadow over considerable area of this beautiful law, blocking essential sunlight. In addition to this, this oak tree has enormous roots which are competing for resources. We find old ficus trees competing for resources as well. The areas of the lawn that benefit from the direct sunlight are beautiful and healthy as expected while the shaded areas remain in stark contrast to the healthy areas. We also find a deck with no access to irrigation beyond it which results in weeds and possibly chinch bugs during draught seasons. This patio is near a lake where product is restricted from use by law within 10 feet of a body of water. We also find additional shade from Palm trees that restrict growth there. Sometimes, no matter how we try, there just is not way to fix this. #lawncare #oaktrees #ficusplant #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
On today's edition of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel discusses the importance of learning to lobby the government in favor of the interests of the wildlife control industry. One of the resources covered is the division known as APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) which is a subgroup under the United Stated Department Of Agriculture (USDA). These agencies have subgroups that are tasked with different activities. As part of its initiative to fully represent your interests in its strategic plan, APHIS has extended its comment period to allow wildlife control professionals to share their thoughts and recommendations to guide the agencies work over the course of the next 5 years. This is vital in making your voice heard on many topics that impact your business. You may not think this matters to you as a wildlife control professional but it actually does. Find out why.

On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, host and Integrated Pest Management Specialist Frank 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez discusses the importance of three things when you are starting your own integrated pest control management business: -How to get customers -How to market -How to hire the right people Of these three: learning how to hire is the greatest challenge as a business owner. The technician turned owner believes the technical is the most important part. However, if your tech has no people skills you're biggest problem is getting customers. What matters most in hiring is locating candidates with soft skills and the ability to relate to others. This is actually more important than possessing good technical skills. #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #pestmanagement #pestcontrollife #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM #pestcontrolbusiness #businessconsultation #businessmentoring Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
Impossible landscapes to maintain on today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast with integrated pest control management professional Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez. This beautiful lawn on a lakefront property lined with over 30 palm trees has been serviced by us for close to 15 years yet we have never been able to fix some issues with it. Lakefront properties place two important restrictions on our services: ten to fifteen feet from the water, it is illegal to treat this lawn with fertilizer and the problems are clearly visible: weeds. Florida and federal law do not allow insecticides nor fungicides to be sprayed within ten to 15 feet from a body of water. Another issue is the fact that the lawn is being 'scalped' (mowed at 1 inch length). The optimum length should be at least three inches. It should be noted, however, that chemicals do not make the grass green. What makes grass green is proper cultural care. 5 things that every lawn needs to grow successfully: -right plant in the right place (correct growing environment) -right amount of irrigation -right mowing frequency -right mowing height -sharp blade #lawncare #lawntips #lawn2022 #pesticide #fungicides #pestcontrolmiami #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

Gophers are commonly known for their extensive tunneling activities and their ability to wreak havoc on farms and gardens. Stephen came across the Burrow Buddy on champion gopher trapper Gerald Fesky's (inventor of Burrow Buddy trapping tool) YouTube channel.

Standing water is the number one breeding spot for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes breed by laying eggs in stagnant water. Mosquito larvae live in standing water, the larvae require only minimal amounts of water, and even something as small as a puddle of water on a discarded plastic bag can house them #mosquitoes #mosquitocontrol #getridofmosquitoesnaturally #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #integratedpestmanagement #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
On today's episode of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel gives us a brief overview of the wildlife baiting theory and tactics. To start, he takes through the proper definition of wildlife attractants (materials that entice animals to approach a location through sight, sound, taste or any combination) as well as bait (solid attractants eaten by wildlife) and lure (liquid or aerosol attractants smelled by wildlife). In addition to this, Stephen walks us through the proper way to setup a cage trap or foothold to make it attractive to an animal. Baited sets or sets with attractants need to entice animals and Stephen shows us how. Watch this video for more!

On today's episode of the Pestgeek podcast, as we follow up on a mosquito control program for a client, we come across the unfortunate sight of stagnant water with mosquito larvae. No matter how much spraying, baiting, placing In2care traps or Inzecto traps we do, mosquito control will not be attainable if water is accumulating on the property.

On today's edition of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel gives us a brief overview of roof rat control methods for wildlife control professionals. In our previous episode, Stephen explained the Rattus rattus biology. This rodent is generally referred to as the black rat or the roof rat, ship rat, or house rat. It is a common long-tailed rodent of the stereotypical rat genus Rattus, in the subfamily Murinae which is likely originated in the Indian subcontinent, but now found worldwide. It is widely known as the roof rat due to its tendency to find shelter in the upper parts of buildings. Watch this video as a refresher as Stephen discusses these rodents and their habits, habitat and biology. Of particular note, Stephen discusses Scott E. Hygnstrom's 'Organizational Model Of Control Methods' which covers habitat modification, frightening devices, repellents, toxicants, shooting, trapping, exclusion and biological controls.

Did you know that the majority of pest control professionals come from all walks of life? In fact, many pest management professionals come from a diverse background that ranges from teachers to I.T. professionals, wrestlers and so on. On today's episode of The Pestgeek Podcast, guest Fred Estopier discusses his serendipitous start in the IPM business. Interestingly enough, Fred is a math teacher who also holds a bachelor's degree in Biology. Franklin Hernandez 'The Pestgeek' got his start in the IT business later transitioning to sales and eventually to pest control. Clearly, there is no particular background needed to become a pest management control professional. So why is there a shortage of pest control pros?

This lawn suddenly started showing severe signs of draught stress since we serviced it prior to our last visit . A significant number of draught patches were visible in several areas of this lawn. So our first step was to initiate a thorough inspection of the lawn irrigation system which found several problems with the automation programming. In short, several zones simply were not being irrigated at all. In addition to fully re-programming this irrigation system, we also decided to add some amino acids, nitrogen and micro nutrients to aid this lawn in its recovery. After 5 days, this lawn is on its way back to healthy and beautiful. A beautiful lawn is obtainable with proper care. Let us show you how or if you'd like a pro to do it for you, give us a call!

New fertilizer bans are coming to Miami Dade and new laws that will affect homeowners, landscapers and Integrated Pest Control Management Professionals. Phosphorous is out all year long and Nitrogen will also be banned effective May 15th until October 31st. This means that the use of nitrogen will be prohibited on landscapes, palm trees, shrubs or lawns here in Miami-Dade county. This is due to Biscayne bay being polluted with algae bloom. This is how we need to comply with the new laws. Expect higher prices and license fees. #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #pestcontrolmiami #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

On this edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, host and holistic pest control management expert Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez owner of Miami IPM 'Naturepest' explains why he treats fertilizer as a pesticide. In addition to this, he explains why fertilizers contain an inhalation hazard warning on their labels. Dust masks or respirators are key in preventing exposure to toxic ingredients especially when you are a pest control professional. As labels specify, fertilizers can be corrosive and cause damage to internal organs. #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #pestcontrolmiami #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

Startup Consultation with Fred Estopier What You Need Before Starting Up A Pest Control Business From high school math teacher to Integrated Pest Control Business owner. Fred Estopier is on a journey to building and running a successful pest control management business. On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, Holistic pest control professional Franklin Hernandez 'The Pestgeek' sits down with Fred to take him through the steps. There is plenty of room for all as the The Bureau of Labor reports that currently there are only 83,000 pest technicians in the country. So what does it take? On this episode, Franklin covers three key points to keep in mind when starting up. How do we get customers? How de we market? and if we grow as a company, how do we hire successfully? #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #pestcontrolmiami #pestcontrolmiami #IntegratedPestManagement #IPM #pestcontrolbusiness #businessconsultation #businessstartup Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
On today's episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, we find a yellow-banded millipede (one of several kinds of millipedes native to Miami). There is really no product designed to control millipedes. This is a matter best dealt with through exclusion. Millipedes are not insects but myriapods. The term "millipedes" refers to the appearance of having a thousand legs. They are known to be elongated, cylindrical with many body segments and legs. Sliding doors with bad seals or doors that are not properly sealed. This is why exclusion is recommended. Another possible reason is the presence of excess mulch in which case removing organic matter from the home can reduce population. #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #pestcontrolmiami #pestcontrolmiami Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
On today's edition of Living The Wildlife with host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vanstassel we discuss Tularemia. Commonly known as rabbit fever or deer fly fever, this is a rare infectious disease that typically attacks the skin, eyes, lymph nodes and lungs. Tularemia is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. The disease mainly affects rabbits, hares, and rodents, such as muskrats and squirrels. In fact,Tularemia can also infect birds, sheep and domestic animals, such as dogs, cats and hamsters. Tularemia spreads to humans in several ways, including insect bites and direct exposure to an infected animal. Tularemia is highly contagious and potentially fatal, but can usually be treated effectively with specific antibiotics if diagnosed early. Stephen M.

Listen in as Integrated Pest Management pro Franklin Hernandez shows us a dramatic reduction of a heavy German roach infestation in a Miami household. Evidence of fecal matter, nymphs and adult roaches are seen on glue boards placed behind a stove, a fridge and a bed. After the third service, we usually notice nymphs but here we have a large number of adult males in addition to egg casings. We also see a lot of nymphs. #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #pestcontrolmiami #pestcontrolmiami Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, Integrated Pest Management expert Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez demonstrates how Miami Pest Control Naturepest managed to obtain a ninety five percent reduction on a roach infestation in a Miami trash room. To manage this, pyrethroids and bait were used on glue boards as an experiment. After a trial period of two weeks, the trash room shows a reduction of over ninety five percent through the use of a pyrethroid application with IGR (insect growth regulator). #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #pestcontrolmiami #pestcontrolmiami Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

The red congo plant is widely known for its glossy leaves which unfurl to reveal a striking red color. First blooming in a burgundy light red or even a much darker orange, before eventually turning into classic deep green as it’s exposed to more light. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to philodendron rojo congo care. On today's edition, integrated pest management control professional Franklin Hernandez (The Pestgeek) shows us why this particular red congo is healthy is some areas while suffering devastating damage in others.

The Bougainvillea Bush is known to have thorns and these thorns can be vicious. So why place then near a parking spot? On today's edition of the Pestgeek podcast, Integrated Pest Management professional Franklin Hernandez (The Pestgeek) discusses the questionable placement of a Bougainvillea bush in a parking area. Usually found in a rainbow of color choices - red, pink, purple, white, orange, yellow, and many variations in between - this is one of the best Florida shrubs for year round color. This is especially true in winter, when fewer things are generally in bloom. However, as mentioned earlier, it is known to have thorns and these thorns can be vicious. This of course requires the right area for planting. Wearing protective clothing and gloves when you handle this plant is a must. So we do we find one in a parking area where the trunk of a car comes into direct contact with thorns?

After a two week period of testing, we successfully manage to gain control of mosquitos on this property. On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, Integrated Pest Management expert Franklin Hernandez (The Pestgeek) gives us an update on Inzecto Mosquito Traps he placed in order to to kill Aedes species mosquitoes and their larvae. As posted previously, the Inzecto Mosquito Trap employs two modes of action to kill Aedes species mosquitoes and their larvae. The larvicide kills mosquito larvae as they hatch from eggs in the water inside of the trap. In addition, there is an adulticide which kills adult mosquitoes as they come in contact with the internal surface of the trap. The trap features a unique patented design that provides an ideal environment for breeding mosquitoes laying eggs. Research has shown that mosquitoes prefer to lay their eggs in Inzecto traps versus other breeding grounds. This in turn reduces the amount of eggs mosquitoes lay in alternative water containers. A patented coating within the trap’s internal surface ensures a slow release of larvicide and adulticide. Nine out of ten adult female mosquitoes die upon contact with the trap’s internal surface. Even if mosquitoes lay eggs before dying inside the trap, the larvae from those eggs are killed by the pesticide in the water once the eggs hatch.

Keeping ant bait stations intact when landscapers do their work is often a losing battle. This is why we set out to solve the giant ant bait station problem using an EVO Express bait station with built in weight. On today's edition, we customize an ant trap so that it will not be moved or destroyed by a landscaper. To this end, we customize an Evo-express ant trap to catch big headed ants and carpenter ants. Enough gap is left to catch roaches as well and to keep out rodents.

On today's edition of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, wildlife consultant and host Stephen Vantassel discusses the steps you need to take to get control of voles as population declines during winter. Voles are mouse-like creatures (sometimes called Meadow Mice) found in North America, Europe and northern Asia. They are known to be stout rodents with short ears, legs and tails. Although it is possible to control voles during springtime, it will not help prevent the damage that will occur over the course of wintertime.

Finding ghost ants on the rooftop is a concern. Finding 5 different kinds of ants at this location is a bigger concern: big headed ants, carpenter ants, crazy ants, ghost ants, etc. Technicians do not climb on top of a flat roof. This is a 1% job that requires a senior technician, a lead technician, a service manager to do this kind of investigative work and provide a solution to the problem. Bait has been placed all around this metal aluminum on this roof. In addition to this we need to install some liquid ant stations and some granular stations. Do not skip this video.

On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast, The Pestgeek shows us how to get rid of ants in a roof using a B&G insect bait station. This bait station is great for delivering liquid, granular, or gel baits to control a variety of crawling insects, especially ants around the perimeter of residential and commercial buildings. The baits are held in a station that is flush with the soil surface and protected by a secure plastic top. Held in the ground by a 3 in. or 6 in. ground spike, this station provides season-long control for school or residential IPM services.

On today's edition, The Pestgeek continues the series '12 D's to achieving success in anything you want'. Today, the 5th part, is 'doing'. The Pestgeek discusses the importance of 'doing'. Unfortunately, 'doing' is the part that most people actually fail at. Developing a plan, a strategy is essential if you are serious about making your dream a reality. But getting started and actually doing is where most seem to stop short. Franklin takes us back to his success in the integrated pest control field and how the cards were stacked against him: high school drop out, growing up on section 8 and food stamps, cancer, losing his father as a child. Need some motivation or inspiration? Watch the video!

This is how we inspect for ficus defoliation caused by whiteflies. On today's edition, after four months of treatment, we redid the treatment as there is evidence of defoliation. On close inspection, we find little defoliation on our client's property but considerable defoliation in the neighborhood located in Miami Beach. #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #antirayap #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #rayap #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #basmirayap #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #bhfyp #jasapembasmihama #bhfyp Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
If sales is something that keeps you from attaining the levels of growth and success your business is in dire need of, you need to watch today's episode of the Living The WIldlife Podcast with Stephen Vantassel.
The 'close' is the goal. Today's takeaway on this edition of The Living The Wildlife Podcast with Wildlife Control Consultant and Host Stephen Vantassel. Why is the 'close' important and why one needs to be careful with one's words that may affect the outcome of the sale. Grant Cardone's 'Closer's Survival Guide' addresses the process of driving your client toward a decision to buy your service. Demeanor and attitude.
Stephen addresses his Asperger's syndrome. Do you believe in your product and the lack of confidence and how clients can pick up on this energy. If this sounds like you, watch the video!

Making decisions on desperation is detrimental to business development success. In most cases, desperation leads to what some call entrepreneurial seizure. Testing a market before building a product. When we talk about being decisive, we are talking about making an educated decision that is 60% to %80 accurate. Starting a pest control business requires research, testing a business idea, watching videos, studying the market, creating a business model and testing it on clients. The Pestgeek discusses how he decided to get into integrated pest control management.

20-30% of our business is single unit apartments. Most of the time, our techs follow protocols but sometimes miss areas that require insatiable curiosity. This is easy to miss when one is tech mode. Occasionally, we come across something that is not normal and this requires one to stop and ask oneself 'why'. On this episode, we come across a German roach infestation that actually came from a bag of chick peas in a pantry; grain weevils were the tip off. Following holistic pest control management protocol -regardless of the severity of the infestation- is essential. Today's video shows us why.

The signs are there. Cool season disease have started and brown patches on grass are already visible on a healthy lawn. Lawn diseases are common in South Florida. Spraying the whole lawn during winter is an expensive proposition, spot treatment is a more affordable alternative.

On today's episode, this is how we deal with cool season lawn diseases through holistic pest control management.

On today's edition, this is how we customize an ant trap so that they won't get moved or destroyed by a landscaper. For this, we're customizing an Evo-express ant trap to catch big headed ants and carpenter ants. We leave enough gap to catch roaches as well but to keep out rodents. This is an essential part of integrated pest management that is often a problem with landscapers. #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #antirayap #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #rayap #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #basmirayap #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #bhfyp #jasapembasmihama #bhfyp Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

Within a period of 3 months, it is easy for many problems to arise. Especially in South Florida, this can be a recipe for disaster. On today's edition, we discuss the problem with quarterly residential and commercial pest control management services. Integrated pest control not only requires a holistic approach to pest control but also meticulous quality control by pest control professionals. On today's edition, this is a 15 year old account. Within a period of 3 months, however, we find some serious issues in shrubs and branches, poor irrigation, problems with the sprinkler system as well as Lobate Lac Scale (Paratachardina lobata).

On today's edition of Pestgeek Podcast, we discuss how to deal with mosquito populations in South Florida. On this property we have approached mosquito control with a variety of products such as Catchmaster Final Feed Mosquito Bait which controls Aedes and Culex mosquitoes. We have also tried In2Care Mosquito Trap which attracts and kills Aedes mosquitoes with ingredients that target both larvae and adults. However, we have seen the best results with INZECTO Mosquito Traps which utilize a micro-dose of pesticides embedded into the surface of the Mosquito Traps. Designed for Mosquito Prevention, we can utilize this product at the beginning of the season to prevent the spread of dangerous diseases such as Zika, West Nile, and many others. #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest #termitecontrol #pestmanagement #bugs #pestcontrollife #antirayap #covid #termites #insects #bedbugs #rodentcontrol #pests #fumigation #rayap #exterminator #termite #ants #fogging #hunting #rats #basmirayap #pestfree #like #mice #cleaning #bhfyp #jasapembasmihama #bhfyp Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/

Being A Pest Control Technician Turned Sole Operator vs. An Integrated Pest Management Sales Pro.
On today's edition, The Pestgeek discusses the reality of being a pest control technician turned sole operator vs. being an integrated pest management sales pro. Playing the sales game or failing, that's the game. This is the dilemma of the solo operator. At the end of the day, most do not have the stomach for doing what needs to be done to succeed. This includes getting rejected.

This Palm Tree is Dead, It Just Doesn't Know It
This palm tree does not look healthy, its size and color is off. Most techs would likely recommend fertilizer. However, on close inspection we find the culprit: Ganoderma. This is a bacterial disease caused by a wood-decaying fungi known as Ganoderma. Once we find conk, it is too late to save. To prevent Ganoderma we recommend a trunk injection with Oxytetracycline (OTC) every three months.

How Much Of A Gap Do American Roaches Need To Get Into Your Home?
So how much of a gap do American roaches need to actually invade a home. It turns out, not much. On today's edition, a stove exhaust vent with a tiny gap and an adult American cockroach illustrate how easy it is for these insects to make their way into a home. Cracks are especially prone to be a major access point.

On today's edition, roaches invade home after roof job. We find gaps in new roof and recommend excluder (exclusion foam). The gap is enough for roaches to get through. As part of our integrated pest management (IPM) protocols, we seal these gaps to avoid intrusion by cockroaches and other bugs or rodents.

On today's edition, it's plaster bagworms. Little worms (inside a cocoon they build) that feed off of bacteria on your garage walls. There is no chemical treatment for these worms. This kind of integrated pest control involves simple hygiene. That is, physical removal with a vacuum or brush.

A poorly executed attempt at rodent exclusion. On today’s edition, we examine clearly visible gaps that will allow easy rodent intrusion. The inevitable takeaway is that getting it wrong is tandem to not doing it all!

Mulch becomes organic matter and provides places for insects to burrow and make This is the problem with mulch. In addition to this, something to consider is what's necessary for plant health? Too much mulch around a plant can actually rot the trunk. Three to four inches is recommended. More than this can result in more pest problems around the house. The podocarpus on today's edition is a good example of organic matter buildup and the potential problems this presents. diy pest control

On today's edition, chinch bugs were the main suspect but as it turns out, the owners gave us the final clue. The roof was pressure cleaned with bleach. That bleach made it onto the lawn which caused chemical burn. Integrated pest control isn't always easy to do when it comes to lawn care.
This info is key and only came up after having a talk with the homeowners. Detecting insect damage vs. disease damage can be a challenge. It's always good to do some detective work.

On today's edition we inspect a Key lime tree which is a fruit bearing tree. The key lime tree ins question has burn marks, crinkled leaves which are evidence of Skeletonizers (moths in the family Zygaenidae). These are known for sucking along the top of the leaf. We also find some evidence of mite damage and webbing from spiders. For this job, we will treat this tree with a natural blend of products. Lawn care chemicals cannot be used here. Pesticide labels have specific restrictions on them in regards to these kinds of trees. It should be noted that unfortunately many pest control technicians do not know how to identify fruit bearing trees and this can create bigger problems. #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #skeletonizers #lawncare Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/
Rodent behavior is something most people do not understand. It is because of this that they do not see how a roof rat could have gotten into the attic or home. A rat can fit through a half-inch hole can climb brick walls, trees, and telephone poles, and walk across telephone lines, can jump three feet in the air from a flat surface and leap more than four feet horizontally, can fall from a height of 50 feet without getting hurt. putting rodent bait stations outside will not prevent a rat from getting in.

Being able to buy a rodenticide bait station for $9 online is fairly easy. But if you are not a qualified rodent control specialist, is it a good idea? Turns out, a cheap rodenticide bait station with no weight to hold it down can be the perfect excuse for a pet or child to turn it over or actually have rodenticide spill out on your lawn. Rodenticide poisoning is no joke. On today's edition, we get into the problem with cheap bait stations.

On today's edition, following an initial service done 6 months prior, there are American roach problems again. We find issues with remodeling allowing rodents and pests to get in. We find gel bait everywhere done by a contractor, missing door seals, holes everywhere, crawl spaces with open access to rodents. These are major construction issues that now require Attic treatments, exclusion services and at least some pest biology basics. We discuss the reality of first year techs failing to spot these problems when clients are oblivious to all of these issues.

How to handle beaver conflicts. Today, Stephen talks about the largest native rodent in the U.S.: Castor canadensis (The beaver). Beavers can grow up to 60 lbs. or more. Though they are an incredible animal due to their engineering capabilities, they can cause flooding, do severe damage to trees and undermine embankments by creating tunnels and bank dens. #rodentcontrol #wildlifeconsulting Stephen M.
