Proz Pest Control Residential Pest Control Service

[@Backyardmech1]

Wow! Lot’s of criticism in here. The one thing that made me raise an eyebrow was the open tub of intice ant bait next to a tub of delta dust, while filling the duster. With that in mind pretty much no separation of bait to pesticides.

[@Jnjetv]

[@michaelmerck7576]

You could move out of the way when you knock a wasp nest down😊

[@markupton1831]

Wow, some of you service techs are brutal! One thing I was curious about is the fact that he went W/granular bait and decided to do an exterior powers spray ? Which the spray would contaminate the bait. I definitely wouldn't "bash" the technician though, because I'm sure we all share the same background. If you issues, it may be a training issue, not a performance issue. But training does spell performance. If there's hardwood floors of course concentrate on (cracks/crevices ) as stated on the label, or use a material less harmful to wood surfaces.

[@deancamper6713]

If this happened in Georgia, and this video was posted the Dept of AG would fine the tech on so many violations he would lose his license to apply pesticides . The company would lose its licensee to operate and someone would likely be facing jail time. Spraying baseboards is not only illegal, but it is an unnecessary over-application of pesticides inside of someones living environment. The fan spray {general surface} in the garage ( with Talstar- as stated by the narrator ) is a label violation. And applying both a bait and a repellent on the exterior is counter-productive. The application of a dust to the weep holes without the use of a respirator is a safety violation and a label violation as well and is illegal. Additionally, the tech filled the duster without a respirator, another safety/label violation. The tech also treated the yard, again illegal outside of 10ft, without posting a yard sign, another violation. Son, the fines are adding up and the total disregard of the label would set you up for some time in jail.

[@dylanc760]

"Spraying baseboards is not only illegal," LOL. What? The label LITERALLY SAYS TO SPRAY BASEBOARDS. You are either: 1. Not a licensed PCO 2. Insane Pick one or both.

[@oahugurl]

Not true about the application of the pesticide. Each pesticide has different bandwith/amount per sq ft applications so his application for all treatments may be the same bandwidth/amount per sq ft every time.

I'm starting a job as a pest/termite control tech on Monday in Tennessee. After reading these comments, I am a little nervous lol. I have no clue as to what to expect as the owner was quick to hire me. 10 minute interview and hired on the spot. The owner only mentioned 3 months of training and certification with the state, aside from the pay, days and hours. To the techs out there, are you timed on the customers "quotas" homes each day? How does your lunch break work? I'm assuming I get 1 hour for lunch since it's a 9 hour a day schedule. On average, how many houses does 1 tech do per day?

[@classicwhitebread]

I would quit if I had a hose to spray. Flowzone backpacks are the way to go

[@michaelmerck7576]

When I worked for other people I had to use the tank sprayer but lots of customers didn't like the hose being dragged around their landscaping so I agree the flow zone is the modern way to go

[@michaelmerck7576]

I agree,when I worked for home paramount they went with the 50 gallon tank and hose sprayer. Many customers complained the hose dragging through their landscaping was not acceptable so some of those I just used granules or the B AND G hand sprayer.a Flo zone would have been great but no way they were going that route due to the expense but I have one for myself now

[@williamculpepper4091]

@brahmakamal...to start your pest control business in India you will first need to read extensively on how to treat the "little black bugs" as well as lizard control... And don't forget to read the actives as well as mode of action for all the medicines you intend to applicate.

[@radaraacf]

Justin Atwell cross contamination can occur if you treat ants with fipronil spray and then do an external spray for spiders and roaches with bifenthrin which is a deterant which negates the ant sprays theory of use

[@michaelmerck7576]

Dusting weep holes seems to be not only redundant but even dangerous to apply due to wind drift.the outside liquid treatment already covers those and once dust gets wet is mostly useless except for drione

[@michaelmerck7576]

Move the hose away from the where you treat but sure don't want to spray the hose itself

[@michaelmerck7576]

It would seem to me the power spray residual should be sufficient and no need for the dust especially applying after the holes have wet spray in them
