How to use pesticide Granules effectively

[@aaronklemm]

This guy is excellent. Well-done video exactly what we need.

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

The black-tie is a requirement as well

[@step2191]

I use to be a pest control applicator (technical name in Virginia) and loved spraying Spekoz Evercide from my BG sprayer. Sadly I believe it has been discontinued in the last 10 years but that perimeter spray treatment did its job effectively and never once had a callback after application. I would only apply granules if the customer was complaining about an upsweep in pest sightings. I am no longer a tech but the knowledge I retained on applications to tool usage as well as crack and crevice treatments is priceless. I do my own pest control on my own property (to be clear) and it saves money!

Why does it feel like I'm watching Kevin on an episode of The Office?

[@k__stone]

OFFENSIVE. He's very obviously Dwight.

[@sethpine9255]

Dude really took a handful of the granules and started munching while talking at the end of the video. Savage!

[@valentinahernandez7291]

So if your lawn sits partially up on a hill, you can't use the granules in those areas because when it rains it will go downhill?

[@rosemarybrown9780]

What setting do you use for the Scott’s broadcast spreader?

[@orangemoonglows2692]

thanks. this was perfect, esp. since you're in an area that is dry and get little rain.

[@EvoBeast509]

This man is something else. A fucking +!!!

[@rezashefa2643]

Is it normal i use two different backpacks for repellents and non-repellents?

Jack Black got a new job! 👏 ❤

[@vitocorleone8323]

Awesome information 👍

[@geofferysmith41]

Can you apply them and just leave them till it rains?

[@Initial_Gopnik]

Yo is this edgar the bug from men in black?

[@heavymechanic2]

After ants invaded the kitchen, I used some RTU insect spray around the perimeter of the house and followed up with a premium lawn treatment granule. No more ants after 2-3 weeks.. Its not rocket science but requires more than one application to be effective, per label instructions.

[@rezashefa2643]

I usually spray a non-repellent about 2 feet wide to the foundation and pour granules along the perimeter of the home. If they havent seen ANYTHING for a month or two i switch to a repellent

[@David-sg4se]

I'm a licensed pest control technician and chicken feeding your granules like that never gives you even coverage, always use a bulb duster for spot treating or simply use a spreader.

[@edwardrobinson3244]

Good advice

[@ddramos7997]

Did it seem like he used to few granules? I thought you were supposed to lay them thicker than that.

[@edwardrobinson3244]

@@ddramos7997 Intice granules are to be applied at 1 pound/ 1000 Sq ft.

[@sunny1sotru]

How soon can i mow lawn after application

[@ramiro78380]

when working with these chemicals you need to use cover mouths

[@timothysteadham331]

Aside from bifen granules, do you use a general insect bait around the perimeter? If so, which one do you use for general insect control?

[@classicwhitebread]

Niban granules work for the perimeter

[@michaelmerck7576]

@@classicwhitebread they are more a bait which aren't labeled for certain types of ants

[@RM-jo8gy]

Intice 10. Higher percentage of active ingredient, broader label than Niban and still a "green zone" product. I switched from Niban and will never go back.

[@MrColton77]

How about put Granules in a jar and fill it up with water wait 24hr of course seal it up then open the lid pour into a pour bottle then spry will that work?

[@michaelmerck7576]

Not very easy to do for a yard

[@MohamedCreativee]

thanks for all this information

[@notchmillion6089]

This guy doesn’t know if he working in a office or construction

[@vintageyellow71]

Nice job man

[@AuntLALA]

Hard hat and tie with the gloves has me 🔥 🥵 ❤ 😂

[@timbagwell8279]

Fng gold. Gold!

[@Hunterbay872]

I prefer use birchmeier back pack sprayer or flow zone. I don’t like the way you just using B&G

[@michaelmerck7576]

B and g will work but I prefer the flow zone because I don't like the uneven pressure you get from a Manuel sprayer

[@John_WA]

The hard hat is completely unnecessary

[@notchmillion6089]

😂😂😂

[@michaelmerck7576]

But it looks so stylish ,don't you know

Why are you wearing a hard hat at a residential account

[@AmericanConcrete]

[@edwardrobinson3244]

I always use a hard hat. It has saved me when I walk up into things while concentrating on performing the application.

[@beingcivilengineer94]

What about mask to cover your mouth and nose 🙊🙊

[@step2191]

Granules are not dusty and therefore spray outward from a spreader and not toward the applicator.

[@josesanchez706]

I wear one, this granule has a smell that makes me short of breath...

[@jesuscortez4528]

I treat a lot of basements in a big city. I wear my respirator anytime i am in a basement because 1. insecticide smell bothers me, and i dont want to get sick in an enclosed space. 2. these basements many times have code violations, asbestos lead etc. 3. i dont want to smell rodent feces or dead rodents in these basements. in apartments i wouldnt normally wear my respirator, but during COVID, i wear a respirator IF i have to do an apartment. As soon as i do my first building, i put it on, and it stays on the whole day for the most part.

[@carlorocky]

@@jesuscortez4528. I used this product on my small patio that is covered with a thin layer of mulch where my cat plays. Do you think it’s safe? I am trying to kill fleas, is this very effective at killing fleas? Thank you

[@jesuscortez4528]

@@carlorocky my recommendation is to always read the label for whichever product you plan to use. Go to domyown.com or search via your state epa office website and the label will tell you exactly what pests it works on.

You lost me with the horrible wearing of a uniform...if you’re going to have a tie...wear it correctly...wow looks professional...NOT!!

[@michaelmerck7576]

I had to wear a tie at orkin and home paramount .I didn't think it added to the look because the tie is not practical when applying pesticide
