Most people think that professional-grade insect pest control products are stronger than over-the-counter pesticides when the reality is both are generally applied at the same rate. Most people call a professional pest control company when they have failed to control the pest problem. This thinking generally leads to a misapplication of a pesticide putting people at risk of contaminating their home and exposing their families to unnecessary chemicals. Using a holistic pest control approach is safe and more effective. #naturalpestcontrol #pestcontrol #DIY 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/…

People think that solving difficult pest problems require a stronger chemical, you hear the customer say all the time" I have tried everything I need you to use something stronger" The reality is most over the counter Roach sprays like Raid are as strong as they need to be to kill a bug, controlling a pest infestation requires a Holistic Pest Control Strategy based on the understanding of pest biology and behavior and how chemical formulations work based on the mode of action to control the problem. The fact is the most inexperienced technician can have 1000 jobs under his belt in a few months while the average homeowner has never tackled a single infestation. #naturalpestcontrol #pestcontrol #holisticpestcontrol 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/ 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= Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ PestGeek http://www.pestgeekpodcast.com/…

DIYPCP#25 Living In a Posh Condo? How Much is Your Condo Association Spending On Rodent Control? 3:12

A walk in the Miami Beach Marina is enough to trigger a righteous rant against shoddy pest control. Along this walk we find empty or upside down rodent stations easily within reach of children or pets at a billion dollar boat marina. No bait in these stations even though these are top dollar condos valued from $900,00 to $1.5 million. This kind of poor quality pest control seems pervasive in Miami and one wonders how much is actually being spent on this. #holisticpestcontrol #DIYpestcontrol #pestcontrolmiami 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/ 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= Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/ PestGeek http://www.pestgeekpodcast.com/…

DIYPCP #24 Figuring Out Holistic Pest Control With Janet Hurley Extension Program Specialist @Texas AgriLife. 2:00:49

for 4 years siden2:00:49

2:00:49

On today’s edition, guest Janet Hurley (ACE, MPA Extension Program@Texas A&M AgriLife Extension) gives us a definitive view of IPM’s holistic nature. We discuss integrated pest management as a strategy that relies on accurate identification and scientific knowledge of target pests, pest infestation, reliable monitoring methods to assess pest presence, preventative measures to limit pest problems, and thresholds to determine when corrective control measures are needed. We discuss the scope of IPM, whenever it is economical and practical, multiple control tactics can be used to achieve best control of pests. These tactics may possibly include, but are not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides. Among other topics discussed, we get into biological assessment, anaphylactic shock, the evolving language of IPM. One of today's takeaways is that there is no legal definition for IPM. Not even the EPA has one. Tune in! Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/...

DIYPCP #23 So what is the difference between labels and labeling; why should it matter if you want to DIY? 28:00

for 4 years siden28:00

28:00

So what really is the difference? and, more importantly, why should it matter to me if I want to DIY pest control at home? Well, it actually matters a whole lot. According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) website: pesticide labels are LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE. In fact, these labels carry the same statement that says it is a violation of federal law to use a product in a manner that is inconsistent with its labeling. However, if the 'label is the law', why does this statement point to the labeling? What does this mean? How is the labeling different from the label? On this edition of the Pestgeek podcast, we examine the 'labeling vs. label' issue and why it matters. For starters, check out the FDA's definition: Labeling is defined as all labels and other written, printed, or graphic matters (1) upon any article or any of its containers or wrappers, or (2) accompanying such an article. Depending on the circumstances, labeling may include packaging, product inserts, Web sites, and other promotional materials. Section 201(k) of the Act defines the term "label" as, "a display of written, printed, or graphic matter upon the immediate container of any article." So why should this matter to the DIY pest control guy?
