Today's episode of the DIY Naturepest podcast provides detailed insights into the effective use of Advion Roach Gel Bait for controlling roach infestations. Holistic pest control expert Franklin Hernandez, addresses a question about the longevity of Advion Roach Gel Bait once applied, as it tends to dry up quickly. He explains that the effectiveness of roach bait is not solely dependent on how long it lasts after application, but rather on its ability to facilitate horizontal transfer or secondary and tertiary kills. This process involves roaches consuming the bait and then spreading it to other members of their colony through regurgitation or excretion, effectively poisoning other roaches that come into contact with these excretions. Frank advises that for heavy infestations, reapplication of the bait might be necessary after a week. However, for lighter infestations, the bait should be effective for about two weeks. He emphasizes the importance of not contaminating the bait with over-the-counter sprays or other substances, as this can reduce its attractiveness and effectiveness against roaches. The video highlights the need for regular inspection of baited areas to determine if the bait is being consumed and to decide if reapplication is necessary. This approach ensures the most effective use of the bait in controlling roach populations. #DIYNaturepest, #AdvionRoachGel, #PestControlTips, #RoachFreeHome, #EcoFriendlyPestControl, #HolisticPestManagement, #EffectivePestSolutions, #PestControlPodcast, #HomePestControl, #sustainableliving https://twitter.com/naturepest https://naturepest.com/ https://www.facebook.com/NaturePestHolisticPestControl https://www.instagram.com/naturepest/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/naturepest-of-doral/ https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=9871898595727253599 https://posts.gle/JEQxBv NaturePest 4140 NE 24th St Homestead Fl, 33033 (786) 222-7069 Pestgeek Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/197418180824736/ FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/pest-geek-podcast/id990012784?mt= Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ PestGeek http://www.pestgeekpodcast.com/…
In this video, Franklin Hernandez conducts a thorough pest-proofing inspection of a house, detailing the various entry points and issues that can contribute to pest infestations. Key highlights from the transcript include: Concrete Repairs: Issue: Franklin identifies areas where concrete repairs have been improperly executed. Impact: These faulty repairs have resulted in gaps, which are potential entry points for pests. Specific Example: He points out one area in particular where due to the poor quality of the repair, pests such as roaches, mice, and rats can easily penetrate. Vent Damage: Issue: The house has vents that are damaged, specifically highlighting around 11 of them. Impact: The wear and tear on these vents are concerning because they provide easy access for a variety of pests. Recommendation: Franklin suggests that while they can be temporarily fixed, a more durable solution would be needed to prevent future pest entry. Temporary Solutions: Issue: Some homeowners might opt for quick fixes, such as mesh screens from local stores. Impact: These solutions might not be sturdy enough in the long run, especially when exposed to outdoor elements or tools like weed eaters. Advice: Franklin advises against relying solely on these fixes, as they may not last or be effective. Crawl Space Door: Issue: The crawl space door's aluminum screen is not strong enough to prevent pests from entering. Impact: Rats, for instance, can easily chew through such materials. Recommendation: Franklin directs attention to NaturePest's proofing page for a more robust solution which will not only be effective but also have a longer lifespan. House Corners: Issue: There are small crevices and cracks, especially in the corners of the house. Impact: Over time, these cracks can widen and serve as easy entry points for pests. Observation: Franklin comments on how pests, such as roaches, don't infiltrate these spaces overnight—it happens over time. Garage Issues: Issue: Gaps in the garage door allow light to penetrate, indicating significant spaces where pests can enter. Impact: These gaps are not just entrances for larger pests but even for small insects like roaches. Recommendation: Franklin suggests employing a garage door company that can properly fix the door, ensuring no light (indicative of gaps) is visible. Concrete Damages: Issue: Several sections of the property, both inside the garage and behind the refrigerator, have damaged concrete. Impact: Such damages are not just structural concerns but also act as gateways for pests. Solutions: Franklin mentions that these damages can be repaired with concrete, and offers NaturePest's services for the same. Recommendations During Renovations: Issue: When homeowners undertake renovations, many contractors might overlook sealing areas that are typically out of sight. Impact: Neglecting these hidden areas can lead to pest infiltrations, defeating the purpose of having a pest control service. Advice: Franklin urges homeowners to be vigilant during renovations and ensure all potential entry points, visible or not, are sealed off. Quote and Contact: Summary: To conclude the inspection, Franklin mentions having provided a comprehensive quote detailing the necessary interventions to ensure the house is sealed against pests. Next Steps: Encouraging proactive action, he invites the homeowner to reach out with any queries or concerns regarding the proposed solutions. Through the inspection, Franklin's approach underscores NaturePest's commitment to a comprehensive and preventative approach to pest control. #HolisticPestControl #NaturePestInspection #PestProofing #ConcreteRepair #VentProtection #HomeProtection #CrawlSpaceSafety #GarageSeal #PestFreeLiving #homerenovationtips https://twitter.com/naturepest https://naturepest.com/ https://www.facebook.com/NaturePestHolisticPestControl https://www.instagram.com/naturepest/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/naturepest-of-doral/ https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=9871898595727253599 https://posts.gle/JEQxBv NaturePest 4140 NE 24th St Homestead Fl, 33033 (786) 222-7069 Pestgeek Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/197418180824736/ FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/ Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/pest-geek-podcast/id990012784?mt= Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ PestGeek http://www.pestgeekpodcast.com/…

https://www.naturepest.com/pest-library/roaches/german-roaches/ What is a German Cockroach? The German cockroach (Blattella germanica) is a small, brown cockroach that is commonly found in households and commercial buildings. They are about 1/2 to 5/8 inch long and have two dark stripes behind the head. German cockroaches are one of the most common types of cockroach in the United States, and are known for their ability to quickly reproduce and spread through buildings. They are known to be opportunistic feeders, eating anything from food crumbs, grease, and other organic matter. They are also known to be attracted to moisture and warmth, and are often found in kitchens and bathrooms. German roaches are known to be difficult to control, and a combination of methods is often needed to effectively eliminate them. These methods include sanitation, exclusion, and the use of baits and insecticides. Sanitation involves keeping the living space clean, by removing food scraps, crumbs and other potential sources of food for cockroaches. Exclusion involves sealing any cracks or crevices where cockroaches may be entering the building. Baits and insecticides can be used to kill the cockroaches and preventing them from reproducing. Professional Pest Control companies are also able to provide effective solutions, by identifying the type of cockroach and providing the right method of control. Miami is #3 In The Country For German Roach Infestation According to the data from the United States Census Bureau, Miami is considered one of the cities with the highest population of cockroaches in the United States. The tropical climate and the high humidity in Miami, as well as the abundance of food and shelter, make it an ideal environment for cockroaches to thrive. The German cockroach, in particular, is known to be a common pest in Miami. This high population of cockroaches in Miami can cause health problems, as they can spread diseases and allergens. They can also cause structural damage to buildings by eating glue and paper products. It is important for residents and business owners in Miami to be aware of the cockroach problem and take steps to prevent and control infestations. This can include proper sanitation, exclusion, and the use of baits and insecticides, as well as seeking professional Miami pest control services. About The German Cockroach The German Cockroach (Blattella germanica) is a small, brown cockroach that is commonly found in households and commercial buildings. They are about 1/2 to 5/8 inch long and have two dark stripes behind the head. German roaches have a relatively short life cycle, with adult females producing up to six egg capsules in their lifetime, each containing 30 to 40 eggs. The eggs are carried by the female in an egg case, called an ootheca, which is carried until the eggs are ready to hatch. The eggs typically hatch in 28 to 30 days, depending on the temperature and humidity. The nymphs (immature cockroaches) go through six to seven molts before reaching maturity. The entire life cycle from egg to adult can be completed in as little as 12 weeks, under optimal conditions. German cockroaches are known to be opportunistic feeders and will eat anything from food crumbs, grease, and other organic matter. They are also known to be attracted to moisture and warmth, and are often found in kitchens and bathrooms. They are active at night and hide during the day in dark and tight spaces such as cracks and crevices, behind appliances and inside wall voids. German cockroaches are known to be difficult to control, and a combination of methods is often needed to effectively eliminate them. These methods include sanitation, exclusion, and the use of baits and insecticides. Sanitation involves keeping the living space clean, by removing food scraps, crumbs, and other potential sources of food for cockroaches. Exclusion involves sealing any cracks or crevices where cockroaches may be entering the building. Baits and insecticides can be used to kill the cockroaches and preventing them from reproducing. Professional Pest Control companies are also able to provide effective solutions, by identifying the type of cockroach and providing the right method of control. How Do You Prevent A German Roach Infestation? Cockroaches, including German cockroaches, can infest delivery boxes and potentially spread to homes. This happens when the cockroaches are already present in the warehouse or delivery truck and the boxes are not properly inspected or treated before being shipped. Once inside the home, the cockroaches can quickly spread and establish a population. To prevent cockroaches through delivery boxes and spreading to your home, it is important to take steps to protect your deliveries. Some ways to do this include: Inspecting all boxes and packages before bringing them inside, paying particular attention to any signs of cockroaches or other pests. Keeping the boxes and packages away from potential sources of food, such as the kitchen, until they can be properly inspected and treated. Discarding any boxes or packages that show signs of cockroaches or other pests, and notifying Amazon of the problem. Using sticky traps or glue boards near the delivery area to catch any cockroaches that may have entered the home. If you suspect that your home has become infested with German cockroaches after receiving an Amazon delivery, it is important to take immediate action to eliminate the infestation. This can include a combination of sanitation, exclusion, and the use of baits and insecticides, as well as seeking professional pest control services. Exterminating German Roaches In Apartment Buildings Cockroach infestations in apartment buildings can be a major problem, as they can quickly spread from one unit to another through the shared walls, floors and ceilings. The warm and humid environment, as well as the availability of food and shelter, make apartment buildings an ideal habitat for cockroaches. Preventing and controlling cockroach infestations in apartment buildings requires a coordinated effort from both the building management and the residents. Building management can take steps to prevent cockroach infestations by: Regularly inspecting and maintaining the building, including sealing cracks and crevices where cockroaches may enter. Keeping common areas clean and free of food scraps and other potential sources of food for cockroaches. Hiring a professional pest control company to treat the building. Residents can take steps to prevent cockroach infestations by: Keeping their own units clean and free of food scraps and other potential sources of food for cockroaches. Sealing cracks and crevices in their own units where cockroaches may enter. Notifying building management of any cockroach sightings. It’s important to note that, cockroach infestations in apartment buildings can be especially difficult to control because of the shared walls, floors, and ceilings that allow cockroaches to move easily from one unit to another. Therefore, it’s important for both the building management and the residents to work together to prevent and control cockroach infestations. There are several ways to get rid of cockroaches, including the following: Sanitation: Keep your home clean and free of food scraps, crumbs, and other potential sources of food for cockroaches. Exclusion: Seal any cracks or crevices where cockroaches may be entering your home, such as around pipes and in the corners of windows and doors. Bait: Use bait stations or gel bait to poison cockroaches. Dust Baits: Use Dust baits in areas where cockroaches are known to frequent, such as under sinks and behind appliances. Glue Traps: Glue Traps and Monitors are placed in places roaches like to hide behind refrigerators and stove. IGR: Insect Growth Regulators in the kitchen under the kitchen sink cabinet. Professional Pest Control: Hire a professional roach exterminator to help identify and treat cockroach infestations. It is important to note that, it’s not a one-time solution, You may have to repeat the process multiple times to fully get rid of roaches from your home. Also, it’s important to identify the type of cockroach you’re dealing with so you can use the correct method of control. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a holistic approach to pest control that incorporates multiple methods to prevent and control pests. It is often considered a natural extension of organic pest control, as it emphasizes the use of non-toxic and environmentally friendly methods to control pests. Our Holistic Pest Control Method In Cockroach Removal IPM involves taking a comprehensive approach to pest management, which includes: Identification and monitoring of pests Understanding the biology and behavior of pests Implementing preventative measures such as exclusion, sanitation, and cultural controls Utilizing non-toxic and least-toxic control methods, such as mechanical or biological controls, when necessary Continual monitoring and re-evaluation of pest populations and control measures One of the key principles of IPM is to use the least-toxic and most sustainable control methods first, before resorting to more toxic methods. This can include using natural predators and parasites, mechanical control methods such as trapping, and cultural control methods such as proper sanitation. If necessary, less toxic chemical controls such as baits and growth regulators can be used as a last resort. This approach not only reduces the amount of pesticides used but also helps to preserve natural predators and parasites that can help keep pest populations in check providing environmentally safe pest control. IPM can be applied in a variety of settings including residential, commercial, and agricultural settings. It’s important to work with a professional exterminator that has experience in IPM. Roach Gel Bait Instead of Insecticide Sprays Roach gel bait is a type of cockroach control product that can be effective in controlling German cockroach infestations. Roach gel bait is typically a mixture of an insecticide and a food-based attractant that is applied to areas where German cockroaches are known to frequent such as cracks and crevices, behind appliances and inside wall voids. The German cockroaches ingest the bait and the insecticide in it, and die. Roach gel baits are formulated to be slow-acting, which allows the cockroaches to feed on the bait and then return to the harborage areas where they will eventually die, and also to feed on the bait and share it with other cockroaches, this is known as the “domino effect” that can help to eliminate the entire population of cockroaches. Roach gel baits are considered safe and effective for German cockroach control, as they can reach areas where other pesticides may not be able to reach. They are also long-lasting and can be used in hard to reach places such as wall voids and crawl spaces. They also have low toxicity levels and are less harmful to humans and pets than some other pesticides. It’s important to note that, roach gel baits should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and to keep it out of reach of children and pets. Also, it’s important to use roach gel baits in conjunction with other pest control methods such as sanitation Vendetta Nitro Roach Gel Bait is a type of gel bait used for controlling cockroach infestations. It is designed to attract and poison cockroaches, killing them within a few hours of ingestion. The active ingredient in Vendetta Nitro Roach Gel Bait is Dinotefuran, a type of neonicotinoid insecticide. It is a non-repellent insecticide, which means that it is not detectable by the cockroaches, they will eat it and die. Vendetta Nitro Roach Gel Bait is applied using a bait gun to areas where cockroaches are known to frequent, such as under sinks and behind appliances. It is important to use the gel bait according to the manufacturer’s instructions and to keep it out of reach of children and pets. The Use of Insect Growth Regulators IGR To Control German Roaches Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) are a type of pesticide that can be used to control German cockroach infestations. IGRs work by disrupting the reproductive cycle of the cockroaches, preventing them from reaching maturity and reproducing. This can help to reduce the population of cockroaches over time. IGRs are typically applied as a spray or dust, and are applied to areas where German cockroaches are known to frequent such as cracks and crevices, behind appliances and inside wall voids. The active ingredients in IGRs target specific stages of the cockroach’s life cycle, such as the egg or nymph stages. IGRs are considered safe and effective for German cockroach control, as they can reach areas where other pesticides may not be able to reach. They also have low toxicity levels and are less harmful to humans and pets than some other pesticides. It’s important to note that, IGRs should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and to keep it out of reach of children and pets. Also, it’s important to use IGRs in conjunction with other pest control methods such as sanitation, exclusion, and the use of baits and other insecticides for a comprehensive approach to controlling German cockroach infestations. Point Source IGR Point Source IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) is a type of pesticide that is used to control cockroach and other insect populations by disrupting their reproductive cycle. It is specifically designed to target the immature stages of the insects, preventing them from reaching maturity and reproducing. IGRs like Point Source IGR can be used in conjunction with other pest control methods such as baits and insecticides, to provide a comprehensive approach to controlling cockroach infestations. Point source IGR is a liquid concentrate that is mixed with water and applied to areas where cockroaches are known to frequent, such as under sinks and behind appliances. It is important to use the IGR according to the manufacturer’s instructions and to keep it out of reach of children and pets. Dust Baits Going Where Roaches Hide Dust baits are a type of cockroach control product that can be effective in controlling German cockroach infestations. Dust baits typically consist of a food-based attractant mixed with an insecticide. The dust bait is applied in small amounts, typically using a duster, in areas where German cockroaches are known to frequent such as cracks and crevices, behind appliances and inside wall voids. The German cockroaches ingest the bait and the insecticide in it, and die. Dust baits are considered safe and effective for German cockroach control, as they can reach areas where liquid baits and sprays may not be able to reach. They are also long-lasting and can be used in hard to reach places such as wall voids and crawl spaces. They also have low toxicity levels and are less harmful to humans and pets than some liquid baits and sprays. It’s important to note that, dust baits should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and to keep it out of reach of children and pets. Also, it’s important to use dust baits in conjunction with other pest control methods such as sanitation, exclusion, and the use of other baits and insecticides for a comprehensive approach to controlling German cockroach infestations. Doxem Precise is a type of dry flowable bait that is used for controlling cockroach infestations. It is a formulation of insecticide mixed with a food-based attractant that is designed to attract and poison cockroaches. The active ingredient in Doxem Precise is Abamectin, a type of avermectin insecticide. It is a slow-acting insecticide, which means that the cockroaches will take some time to die after ingesting it. Doxem Precise is applied using a bait gun to areas where cockroaches are known to frequent, such as under sinks and behind appliances. It is important to use the bait according to the manufacturer’s instructions and to keep it out of reach of children and pets. Dry flowable baits are known to be effective in controlling cockroach infestations, as they can be placed in areas where liquid baits and sprays may not be able to reach, such as cracks and crevices. Additionally, Dry flowable baits are long lasting and can be used in hard to reach places such as wall voids and crawl spaces. Glue traps and monitors are both commonly used tools in the control of cockroach infestations. Glue traps are small, flat boards coated with a sticky adhesive. They are placed in areas where cockroaches are known to frequent, such as under sinks and behind appliances. The cockroaches become stuck in the adhesive when they walk over it. Glue traps can be used to monitor the presence of cockroaches in an area and to determine the size and location of an infestation. They can also be used to trap and remove cockroaches, but it’s important to note that glue traps do not solve the infestation problem, they only capture the cockroaches that come in contact with them. Monitor traps, also known as cockroach traps, are similar to glue traps but they are designed to capture and hold live cockroaches. These traps are usually made of plastic and have a food-based attractant inside, to lure the cockroaches inside the trap. Once the cockroach enters the trap, it can’t escape and will eventually die. These traps can be used to monitor the presence of cockroaches in an area, and to determine the size and location of an infestation. Some monitor traps are also equipped with a glue board to capture the cockroaches and can be used to trap and remove cockroaches, but again, it’s important to note that monitor traps do not solve the infestation problem, they only capture the cockroaches that come in contact with them. Both glue traps and monitors should be used in conjunction with other pest control methods such as sanitation, exclusion, and the use of baits and insecticides for a comprehensive approach to controlling cockroach infestations. TRAPPER MAX and TRAPPER MAX FREE glue traps are products used for trapping and controlling cockroach infestations. They are made of a specially formulated, non-toxic, peanut butter scented glue that is placed on a cardboard or plastic tray. The glue trap is designed to be placed in areas where cockroaches are known to frequent such as under sinks, behind appliances, or in cabinets. The cockroaches are attracted to the scent of peanut butter and become stuck in the glue when they walk over it. TRAPPER MAX is a standard glue trap, while TRAPPER MAX FREE is a glue trap that is free of any peanut butter scent, making it ideal for use in sensitive areas such as food preparation areas. TRAPPER MAX and TRAPPER MAX FREE glue traps are a non-toxic method of cockroach control and are safe to use around humans and pets. They are also disposable and easy to use. However, they should be placed out of reach of children and pets, as they can become stuck in the glue as well. It is also important to note that, glue traps should be used in conjunction with other pest control methods such as sanitation, exclusion, and the use of baits and insecticides for a comprehensive approach to controlling cockroach infestations.

Large Patch Disease, also known as Rhizoctonia solani fungus, is a common issue that affects St. Augustine grass. This disease is caused by a soil-borne fungus that thrives in warm, moist conditions. The symptoms of Large Patch Disease include circular patches of brown, stunted, and thin grass, often with a yellow halo around the affected area. The fungus infects the roots and crowns of the grass, leading to the death of the affected plant. This can cause large, unsightly patches to form in the lawn, hence the name Large Patch Disease. The disease can spread rapidly and can be difficult to control if not addressed promptly. Factors that can contribute to the development of Large Patch Disease include: Over-watering or poor drainage in the lawn High humidity and warm temperatures Excessive nitrogen fertilizer Overcrowding of the grass, which can reduce air circulation and increase humidity levels Mowing the lawn too short, which can weaken the grass and make it more susceptible to disease To prevent Large Patch Disease, it's important to maintain a healthy lawn with good cultural practices such as proper watering, fertilizing, and mowing. Additionally, avoiding over-fertilization and reducing humidity levels in the lawn can help prevent the development of the disease. If Large Patch Disease is already present in your lawn, there are fungicides available that can help control it, but it's important to follow the instructions carefully and reapply as necessary. #lawncare #lawn #pestcontrol https://twitter.com/naturepest https://naturepest.com/ https://www.facebook.com/NaturePestofDoral/ https://www.instagram.com/naturepest/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/naturepest-of-doral/…
