0:57 You said that you would link to a previous video about using pest control products from Home Depot & Lowes, but I do not see any link for that.

[@syscam1]

Good information. As someone who is licensed for pest control, please remember to read the label like Allyn suggests and wear your PPE. This stuff can be pretty miserable if you get it on your scalp or face especially when it’s hot out and your sweating. It can cause a burning sensation that last for hours and it’s painful. Also, rotate your chemical classes. What I mean by that is don’t use synthetic pyrethroids like Bifen IT or Talstsr exclusively. Use a natural or botanical product like Esentria or EcoRaider ER-3 every other application so that the pests don’t develop a resistance to the pesticide. Follow the labels and don’t mix it stronger than it suggests. If these products are overused and abused we will all be screwed. The pests will be resistant to the product and we won’t have anything to control them because we don’t have any more formulations. Please be good stewards of the environment.

[@austindouglas13]

The Tekko Pro would reduce the chances of resistance due to the MOA. But I agree, alternating different products with different MOA's is essential

[@mark33545]

Ditch The Itch would it be a good idea to mix tekko pro with esentria then? Currently i do talstar p + tekko pro 2 weeks after termix does their spray so i get coverage every 2 weeks, once a month from me, once a month from termix. I want to rotate in esentria or eco raider ec3 (which is better btw?) and am thinking maybe still mix in tekko pro

[@johnadank194]

I wouldn’t spray every two weeks. Every 3 weeks to 30 days max. Every two weeks is a lot of pesticide

[@mark33545]

@@johnadank194 maybe i am doing it wrong because every 2 weeks and still my wife gets bit on her ankles like crazy every night. and i am in a major city suburb so its not a very wooded area at all. i just ordered the mosquito sniper hopefully that will help

[@johnadank194]

A ULV unit will kill them right away but all you can do is control them not eliminate them. Make sure your getting rid of standing water in planters, bird baths etc. 90% of mosquitos breed in about 10% of the available water

[@robertizmirlian7933]

As a new homeowner that is learning how to take care of my yard myself, I've learned a ton from the LCN!

Same here!

[@ssshady08]

Tekko pro works really well with German roaches too. I use it with a product called Alpine wsg, but it's expensive. You're doing the right thing with it though. I do lawn, pest, termite and rodent so you might see me pop up on your lawn ones too. I learn things for my customers lawns, I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos!!

[@hamprepper]

Tekko is a wonderful IGR!

[@tommytasha3474]

I bought the sniper system and used it today. Fantastic product. Works better than expected. Used it with back sprayer and Greenworks blower. I used for bugs, but it works so will I'm going to spray my wooded area for poison ivy. It really shoots a mist a long distance as well as coating my shrubbery.

[@jthiemeyer]

Glad he sent the mosquito sniper out and it works. I told him to get in touch with you and send one out!!!

[@raulsanchez4493]

The Webster looks like it will screw onto a roller brush pole. They sell those extending paint brush poles that are much more stout

[@dinabrown6529]

Im about to do this on my property. The only change I would make is I was told to start at the house area first. The reason being that if you start in the lawn or perimeter of the yard the pest will run to the safe areas by the house. Chances being good that some will find their way in, I try to avoid chemicals in the house. So I was told to start at the home and work my way out.

[@spankyslawncarellc7822]

Look for a fiberglass pole used to wash semi trailers. 13 ft 6in

[@paintfreak16]

Just a quick tip... I used Bifen I/T for a while, but wasn’t pleased with the length of time it lasted. I switched to Bifen XTS (same active ingredient, but oil based instead of water based) this year, and it has made a HUGE difference. For a place like Florida with lots of rainfall, it may be worth a try.

[@aarondilley5266]

I am going to try it on my own yard and see if it makes a difference but make sure you get the underside of leaves they don't get rained on much and that is where the mosquitos land to rest. and I prefer to use slow release IGR granules where ever water pools up, gutters, low points of lawn, flower pots tires ect.

[@kevkneller177]

Does this oil base work on mosquitos?

DIY pest control great I've ditched all my pest control services this summer because they don't want to do any work. One of them visited me once for the year and where gone in 5 minutes.

[@glokuta]

Great advice for your followers on keyword searches on digital labels! I save all of mine to a folder and every label I search for stuff I am interested in: "surfactant" (does it have a do not use warning), "temperature" (to see about restrictions/cautions in high temps), "stress," "tank mix" (can I?), "irrigation" (does it need watered in or in other cases neee delayed), "max" (for max rate per 1000 and max annual). Keep up the great videos!

[@auxpowerunit]

Mega thanks to you, Allyn ! I live in Tampa, so we face the same pests here. Asian Tiger Mosquitos were very aggressive in my yard. I used the combo of Bifen IT and Tekko Pro as you described. The only change I had was to increase Bifen IT to 2 ounces per gallon, as the package insert stated the range for mosquito control ranged from 1 to 2 ounces. I used a Ryobi electric pump sprayer to distribute the liquid throughout my yard. Prior to spraying, I routinely would get about 100 mosquito bites while working in the yard for a couple hours. One week after spraying, that decreased to only 5 bites within 4 hours. And 2 weeks afterward, I got NO insect bites of any kind within 4 hours of outdoor activity. I was really stunned, that after living here over 20 years, my yard is finally usable. Even last night, I was outside goofing around for an hour, and still got ZERO bites ! Thank you very much for making this video. You improved the enjoyment of my house tremendously !

[@GreenDragonPainting]

If the sniper does produce the fine mist like the first contraption id definitely be interested in it. Great video. My wife runs the office at a exterminating company and got the inside scoop on what products they use. Suspend SC is the best product in my opinion for around the house. It last by drying and leaving crystals and any pest that touches it croaks. Great stuff, i highly recommend it. I basically do exactly what you did but also shoot the bottom of my baseboards throughout the interior of my home. I have pets and children and its perfectly safe. I can't remember seeing ANY bugs in i can't remember when 💪

[@danielm2554]

Just an fyi if you are in California, you can only spray 1 inch wide on any horizontal impervious surface such as concrete, brick, or pavement this includes against the house. He said you can do three feet out but that is only on soil.

[@lawrencematos7493]

@lawncarenut , I purchased a similar item at lowes the brush part but then I went to the paint aisle and purchase a painters telescopic pole it works great ..

[@jeffthornton8449]

For the pole to attach to your "Webster" go into the paint department of Lowes/Home Depot and find a paint extension pole depending on type of home that is the size to get I have a 2 story home so I have one that is a 20 - 25' Extension have had it for about 20 years now and have been doing exactly like Allen is showing in the videos for years now. Nope I'm not smart a pest control buddy of mine showed me this many years ago however paint department is where to find them maybe even look in the paint area on Amazon.

[@petersteinmetz9151]

Pest Tech here- one thing about products (microcare cs) for spiders is that they only work for direct contact and not as a residual because spiders don't groom themselves like ants and roaches, so they won't ingest it once they crawl over it.

[@sr88595]

FYI The Petra Pro Sprayer is currently on sale for $229.99 (30% off). I just went to the website from the link above in the description and saw this.

[@omarvaldez00]

I de-web first and then I'll treat with my B&G. I don't apply any chemicals to my brush because you'll end up smearing the dirt with the liquid and it's going to make look dirty. I use Suspend Polyzone in the summer and Suspend SC in the winter. Suspend Polyzone residual last longer. I don't recommend oil-based products because eventually it'll start accumulating dust and dirt and it's not going to look dirty. If this happens to you once in awhile I would use Bifen-IT.

[@mypinkcrafter]

After cleaning the spiderweb, combine water with some drops of peppermint oil and spray it all over the ceiling. We live by the lake and used to have a lot of spiders. Peppermint oil helps a lot. Thank you for your videos, there are very helpful

[@wildthoughts6959]

The $500 machine distributes the liquid much better which ends up saving on chemicals , and can impact plants less . However, I did notice it cannot shoot far to reach high places. The DYI system is good but fails to distribute well, it acts like a high -pressure hose , they need to improve it by adding a liquid misting head. The DYI system has the advantage of becoming cordless if your blower is gas or battery operated. Great video . Thumbs up.

[@chia_pet7121]

You can also use your pool pole to get the reach you need to get rid of the spiders. Also, put the sprayed duster in a bag when you are done.

[@Maxman92]

Bifen IT rocks. I used this in SoCal when I was a pest control guy. If you need something stronger that will work for even red ants look into Bifen xts. Same active ingredient just at 25% concentration and is oil based so the residual is better and isn’t as affected by rain.

[@gregorysantos9188]

Allyn, for those spiders in your pool cage, I found a great solution that you almost did in this video. Using the Petra Fogger mix up the Bifen and Tekpro, same formula you used outside, fog the aluminum cage on the inside where the spiders live. It absolutely destroys them. It works so good for me, I would never use the web brush on my pool pole again. The spiders are gone for months. Btw, you need a helper to keep the electric cord out of the pool, make sure your plugged into GFI circuit for safety, unless you have a cordless fogger, while spraying, and I recommend wide brim hat, safety glasses and respirator since you fogging up high, and it can drift. For nearly 20 years, I was wiping them down with the web brush, dealing with spiders running everywhere, and they would be back in a few weeks.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

that's a very good suggestion thank you!

[@ncrpejxi]

I would use the same hand sprayer for the bushes

Hey we put our Webster on the end of our pool vac pole...stronger and better extension....try it. 😁

[@michaelaleksick1398]

Thanks for the tip on the Webster. I've been using the cheap Home Depot knock-off for about 2 years, and the bristles bent after the first use. Still somewhat useable, but I got what I paid for. Maybe this one will hold up. Spraying the pesticide directly onto the duster is a pretty cool tip.

The lawn & Pest company I used to pay used Bifen XTS for the lawn and perimeter pest, and Bifen IT for tree & shrub apps.......I am doing the same, although I do not know the difference between the two formulations other then the smell. Do you know what the difference is between the two? Thank you for this video, very informative. The realization of how little these products cost compared to paying for these services professionally, really allowed me to make the jump to doing my own lawn care , as well as my pest control. There is more profit made here compared to the lawn portion of the business, but I guess they need to allow a lot of cushion for that customer that calls every week for a free re-treatment.

[@quangpham2281]

Agree on the sniper, we all have a blower motor so an attachment add-on makes it worth it and cheaper. If it can atomize it better and be wider that would be the winning advantage.
