DIY Pest Spray Just Like a Professional - Inside, Outside, & Garage

[@LakingyaJohnson]

This video has to be one of the most educational, thorough, easy to follow, and relevant videos that I have ever watched on KZbin.

[@amrey3628]

You are a Godsend. I don't know what it is this year but mosquitoes, wasps & spiders have decided to really show off at my house. I got this product you were talking about & it's like a war torn bug battlefield out here now 😅. I can now sit outside and enjoy my mornings, evenings or nights without the insect irritations. Thank you so much for this informative and instructive video. This really works y'all.

[@ozzy_fromhell]

I just ordered some today 😂 how long did it take for the effects to show a couple days?

[@manchuratt8900]

I would also recommend using a growth regulator like Tekko Pro. Also, I like to switch up chemical every application. For example, I do Bifen IT + Tekko Pro on the first application. On the second, application I might do Temprid + NyGuard. It helps prevent bugs from developing any sort of immunity. You can vary the chemicals based on the most prevalent pest per season. In addition to chemicals, you want to make sure to fill cracks and crevice's with steel/copper wool and some caulk or by other means. And make sure to shake your container to mix your solution well before beginning an application.

[@holydiver327]

I love reading about other growth control product combos we use gentrol and sumari

[@duah3413]

How would you apply the growth regulator?

[@eddiebodin5281]

It’s so irresponsible to have millions of people using IGRs. Them biggest threat the pollinators. Without pollinators we will destroy the food chain. Please read the label to avoid contamination of your environment. God help these irresponsible people.

[@Ffafggefvfdddhef]

Can you use Bifen indoors?

[@arturojimenez4382]

So you’re saying mix Biden IT+ Tekko pro? Like maybe 1oz each per gallon?

[@ThreePhaseHigh]

I give you your thumbs up and the bell because I like the way you’re straightforward no nonsense. Give it to me and let me deal with it. I know the information. Thanks again nicely done very nicely. Done

[@AlvinC-sz3li]

My friend, you are going to save me $95 x 4 per year. That's what I pay for my pest control company now. I am going to cancel my next year service. Liked and subscribed!

[@Grav3s07]

I work for a pest control company and this is very satisfying to watch. Thanks dude.🤟 Bug dudes rule!

[@Rosas18745]

Dan thank you. I came to KZbin looking for the best stuff to buy and I’m going to try it out. Subscribed!

[@kyron5574]

How did it ended for you?

[@Rosas18745]

Best product hands down. I’ve recommended to many friends and family. I had solicitors asking for my business and spray my house/yard but after I showed them this product they walked away lol. thanks again for the great video!

[@Troy-McClure81]

I live in Vegas and use a combination of Onslaught Fastcap,I.G.R.,and Termidor, quarterly.Inside all walls from attic down Cimexa Powder is good for up to 10 years,we have a lot of Scorpions, Widows and Recluse Spiders,I also use a yearly Systemic Insecticide for my Mesquite tree and plants.I Spray my property line as well as my foundation and garage.It seems overkill,but spraying property line help keep neighbors bugs coming over, I've found numerous dead buggies at the border.

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

Well, Dan. I totally _destroyed_ the 'like' button and NOW I've caught a criminal case.😂 I watched for info on termite barriers and although this product is not for termites this video is very informative on spraying techniques. Thanks ❤ _your eyes are gorgeous_ HI, ANDY!!

[@MrErpman]

Use something with imidacloprid in it.

[@capocho100]

Excellent results. I am doing your technique for the third time. Checking tails KZbin and making sure I don’t forget anything.

[@tmyls8816]

Back pack sprayer works better for outdoor applications. Even up to 4 gallons at once if needed. Talstar P is the best mosquitoe, ants, spiders, wasp, bag worm control, not to mention it covers 70 other known insect. Remember things like flies and certain bugs will build a immunity eventually, so switch up. I do agree once a month on talstar outside due to rain, even irrigation washing it away. Honestly talstar p is labeled for indoor use, even though it lists roaches, it sucks unless directly sprayed on. Doing better on the younger than mature. It is also great for house flies, kills them all for days apoun weeks. Spray ventilated or else YOU WILL GET SICK, I ASSURE YOU! I NOTICED in prior video you had fogger machines. I'd recommend a Stihl Fogger for indoor and out. You wear it as a backpack and can spray up in cracks and get in cracks well. Highly recommended. It's also good for shrubs and trees to get under and above foliar. The for all the videos.

[@Kylewraps]

“My4Sons” has the best backpack sprayer and I can use my spare Dewalt battery from my hand drill which is convenient af Look into them if you don’t have a backpack sprayer already 2nd best option is Flowzone but their switches go out on their units

[@SonicBoomC98]

I spray inside and outside plus use bait

[@SonicBoomC98]

Yeah I just fixed my old backpack sprayer

[@tmc4609]

First I absolutely love the flowers behind you, those are my favorites especially the blue! Thank you for this video!

[@phukyew14]

fantastic use of PPE

[@devonhanley8174]

You are an ANGEL. An adorable, helpful angel. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I just moved to Tulsa, OK, from Portland, OR. I grew up in NY, so I have zero experience with Brown Recluse, but they're everywhere. It's horrific. Your videos have helped tame the problem. I wish your family's company plenty of success. I'd hire yall if I moved to Kentucky!!

[@DanTheBugMan]

Thank you!! hopefully I've helped some people!

[@matthewnguyen5829]

Welcome to the Midwest ahahaha I'm north of Tulsa in Wichita and bugs and spiders are bad

[@rebeccaa1132]

that's terrifying! have you ever had one on you?

[@literarynick]

I'm from Tulsa as well. Can't wait to try this stuff out around the perimeter of my house - wasn't keen on dropping $1200+ for 6 months of Orkin service. I have nearly an acre in midtown and would much, much rather do it all myself.

This really helped me out brother, THANK YOU! 🙏🏼

[@markdelabat3011]

Life Saver! Thank you for being thorough. Keep it up; many of us want the pro tips when we do it ourselves.

[@EPMPestControlBrisbane-au]

Finally, a DIY solution that actually works!

[@SonicBoomC98]

Yeah I followed these tips. I also got the work orders from friends pest control appointments to see what they're using

[@eliarndestounis9926]

As a licensed urban pest control technician myself if your someone who's doing house sprays like me I highly recommend wearing a fumigation mask as well as plastic overals that hood over your mask as well as yea these can get stinky which is why I get cheap overalls I can change daily and Always clean my mask, I definitely recommend a bifenthrin based product for exterior like biflex ultra, I also like to hit all the gutter lines, round all windows, doors, safeets, exclution strip ect. Putting strips around things like wood piles is helpful to😁 what are your tips for exterior and interior sprays

[@jaylongton]

Don't forget about the cancer you're going to get in the end and poisoning the ground water and the food the wild animals eat. Use your brains!

[@JoshJackson13]

I have license to and I use bifenthrin but it seems to attract spiders and centipedes to the feeding frenzy of dead bugs. Also more frogs lizards and snakes in my yard now. Kills any bug that gets in my house though. I also use admire pro in the yard

[@juamiglio]

You mentioned that the indoor application lasts 2-3 months, but what about generally cleaning like mopping the floor or cleaning baseboards? Wouldn't that make the application ineffective?

[@MortgageMarshal]

Thank you for this. I can’t stand the thought of a 12mo contract for $780yr when I can do it myself in 5 min.

[@tylerrumfelt3353]

Demand CS is a great exterior spray as well, very good residual.

[@Dandosa1]

Yea demand works great, just don’t get it on you, shit burns lol

[@JCzCmngALZ]

Not interior?

[@RmsDome]

Hydrangeas looking great!! Thanks so much for the info man

[@DanTheBugMan]

Thanks!! They are so pretty right now. Starting to drop their flowers though :(

[@JustAnAverageWoman69]

Those hydrangeas are gorgeous.

[@kfelix2934]

I use both Transport, Demon Max or Demand CS. It all depends on what I can find & at that time. Demon Max is in available is in smaller quantities. I typically stay with Demon since it's rated inside/outside applications & the same with Demand CS. One other areas we should spray are any firewood stacks. So like 3 times a year I spray my firewood before nov-dec . many bug likes to hang out on firewood. Either way this is a great video.

[@joshgeorge83]

Great video around the 5:50 mark you point out water evaporate and product stays which makes me think it doesnt matter what time of day I do this? In Dallas and pushing 100 degrees now.

[@rxw5520]

I looked at the Ortho Home Defense spray they sell at hardware stores, and it’s pretty much the same as the Talstar, only more expensive. Home Defense is 0.05% bifenthrin . Talstar comes undiluted at 7.9%, so mixing one ounce in a gallon of water means you’re dividing that 7.9 by 128 ounces, giving you around 0.06% bifenthrin, so a bit stronger than home defense but still similar concentration. Cost is where it gets crazy. Buying the Home Defense with sprayer attachment, you’ll pay $15-25 per gallon. Which is essentially equal to ONE ounce of Talstar. You can buy a gallon (128oz) of Talstar for like $60. So essentially if you buy Ortho Home Defense, $60 will buy you 3 gallons worth, versus buying the undiluted Talstar where $60 will buy you enough to make 128 gallons. So Home Defense is 45 times more expensive. The guy who came up with the idea of prediluting and selling this stuff is a genius. Home Defense does have cypermethrin also in very low concentration, which you arguably don’t need, but either way, if you want it, you can buy that undiluted as well (demonmax) for around $35 and the bottle will last you years. Essentially, making your own “home defense” mixture would cost maybe $1 per application, probably less. Edit: keep in mind the shelf life on Talstar is 5 or so years, so don’t buy way too much. For average size single home, the 16oz should be the right one to buy. Not quite as good of a deal as the gallon, but you won’t waste any. 3 months is 4 applications per year, so you’ll get 4 years out of one bottle.

[@patrickpieszala5683]

I've used it and it's so ineffective. Talstar is the best

[@rese7977]

Educating my lady with your vids currently, she hates it but I love it thanks man

GREAT VIDEO!! And tell your mother that Larry’s mother said “WELL DONE MOM”!!

[@sergeantraven794]

Thanks a lot, Dan! It's so refreshing to see such impressive level of dedication, confidence, and experience in such "youthful package" (please, take it as a well-deserved compliment). P.S.: Craziest thing: as I am typing this, I see the ant crawling across the laptop's screen. Me: "Wow, that's cool video effect and right on topic!". Then... "Wait a minute, that's not "digital": that crawler is real!" Time to mix some stuff and get to work, lol!

[@fargnbastage]

What are your thoughts on Suspend instead of Talstar?

[@Al-fq1bp]

Hey Dan! Just a quick question, if we spray around the exterior doors and stuff and it gets on the area where we would usually touch (door handles and etc), is that ok? I am just afraid that I would have to give those area a wipe to prevent kids touching those chemicals. Cheers!

[@iwasfound2222]

I worked for Orkin pest control and we would use talstar every day on the exterior.

[@carterirmen5504]

🤣🤣

Orkin is trash terminex actually works.

Never released I would enjoy a video about bug killer. All good information

[@cynthialeyva5122]

Thank you for a very informative video. Also letting us know we don’t need monthly service!

[@J.Thomas-Promotions]

I dont know what type of super bugs this guy has but after 1 application this spray worked for me! And it lasted months! I applied it a second time in 30 days and I didnt see ANY bugs for about 6-8 months!

[@annettegenovesi]

You are wonderful and you do it right. How many pros I've hired take one short cut after another, resulting in continued bugs in and around our home. I've taken to spraying myself but it resulted in my throwing up a lot so I wonder if your way is safer. Anyway thank you much for this quite informative video.

[@Martin-wh3vp]

Thanks Dan for the valuable information. What do u recommend to keep snakes away?

[@matthewward7230]

What do you use if you don't want a white film outside your house. I use bifin it leaves awhite film works well any suggestions.

is talstar safe for cats and dogs to be around?

[@amerikadamotor]

Great info , awesome energy . Thanks a lot

[@annamonarrez2775]

This is a WONDERFUL video - but may I ask if you have an alternative that is safe for indoors use? Transport is SO expensive. I can swing the Talstar, but Transport is outside of my budget.

[@richardgoff6739]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@AllHailThaKing]

I'm a new exterminator from overseas, just got my license! I found your channel yesterday and almost watched everything, great stuff!! I have a question: What are the pros & cons of these formulations: SC & SE & ME? Thanks in advance🙂

I told you guys, Paul Walker got a normal job instead of dying in the car crash, but noooo people didn’t believe me. But here we are. Fast and Furious Bug Edition.

[@weirdphax5406]

not funny

[@ScootsMcPoot]

I always get a paul walker when I go out to start the night. It's a Irish car bomb followed by a shot of fireball

[@ScootsMcPoot]

I wonder how many shitty movies they'll make. I know there are like what... 8? And like 12 low budget spinoffs based in the same world. Worst movie franchise ever. It crashed and burned harder than its only good actor. I mean, let's be real, he was going to off himself eventually. Being In those awful movies would of played a huge role in his mental instability. So the carcass was probably good for him

[@ScootsMcPoot]

Lmao it autocorrected car crash to carcass. Good job youtube. I should set my autocorrect to say carcass when I type paul walker

[@madamnaija1117]

I came here to say: Paul Walker? They look so much alike!

[@392.Nesbitt]

Do you switch up chemicals ? After a certain amount of time?

This man is awesome, so helpful.

[@hyp3rimag]

What do you recommend for a pump sprayer for indoor use? The pump sprayers I have tried completely soak the area. It doesn't matter how quick of a pull I give it trying to do a light quick burst it completely drenches the area and runs down the wall. Are there any that produce a more fine mist suitable for spraying indoors? I just wanna be able to give a little shot here and there and not flood the area lol.

[@darrellfether8964]

Looks like your product list has changed from your video to website, what’s recommended for indoor use?

[@hyp3rimag]

Is it true that insects build a tolerance to these chemicals so you have to rotate them?

[@AMZhonestreviews]

You mentioned about 2-3 gallons for the exterior of the house. Is 2-3 gallons being used per service?

Thanks for the video! Is the transport safe for Babies. I’m not bathing her in it but just curious if you recommend for families with children to leave the area for a while or if you feel it’s safe. Thanks again

[@PedroNunez-rn7gg]

Thank you for such an informative video!

[@snowcrash395]

Thanks for the information. It's well-detailed and I'll probably get some Transport and Talstar, but aren't they about the same as Ortho Home Defense and Home Defense Max? Same active ingredient, bifenthrin, right?

[@tjbasketball4]

Wsg alpine on the interior and termidor on the exterior will save you a ton of call backs

[@Matt-ic1po]

I was wondering if anyone possibly knows the shelf life of these products? I want to buy both of them after seeing this video, but they only sell them in a more bulk quantity. I would like to know if it will be ok to leave this stuff sitting in their containers for the next 10 years or more or will they eventually go bad and go to waste? Thank you.

[@athomeandtravel995]

Great video thanks. I have a new house with the taexx system. Would you recommend the Talstar of transport for this system. Or would you recommend something else.

[@MrMikeyPayne]

Curious: Why not just use transport for both locations since it is labeled for both indoor and outdoor? Is the Talstar superior for outdoor use?

[@aw9085]

i know you said to use talstar only outside... but would it be ok to use in an unfinished basement up around the rafters/ subfloor and around where the house meets the foundation?

I have 2 cats and a rabbit so, I don't want to harm them. What would you suggest? Thank you
