I have a ant problem. I was going to try to use that pest control?

Instead of calling a exterminator I want to try and use other options.I tried ant baits but that work for 3 weeks now there are more ants.I want to use an insecticide that will not harm my dogs.But i want to get rid of the problem ASAP.What can I use.Help me plsI have a ant problem. I was going to try to use that pest control?
To kill roaches/ants - Lay out bread crumbs/honey and mix with boric acid or borax (be careful b/c this stuff is poisonous) and aspartame; leave it on the trail _ THIS IS A TRAP!


- Also, mix honey with cornmeal and leave it on the ant trail. The ants take it back to their colony, eat it, and the cornmeal expands inside of the ants and kills them. (You can possibly try it with the roaches)





Ants: Leave dried cucumber slices in cabinets and on counters; Soapy water in spray bottle will kill them on the spot; Leave mint tea, baby powder, cayenne pepper, citrus oil, lemon juice, cinnamon and coffee grounds in cracks and areas will the ants are. (these are deterrents)


- It also helps to wash down tables and cabinets with a mix of vinegar and water, or water and bleach.


(New Edition) Terro Ant Killer- this thing does miracles; gets rid of the colony in a few days, and is a very good bargain. Find it at Wal-Mart, hardware stores, and Walgreens





Warning: The Terro Ant Killer is the best but it contains borax which can be harmful to pets and children.I have a ant problem. I was going to try to use that pest control?
Check out this website for insect repellants that you can make. The ones with Borax can be harmful to your pets so you may want to go with some of the plant suggestions.


Good luck!

Buy a garden sprayer and a concentrated bottle of malathion (may have not spelled that right). Mix it yourself and apply it generously to the outside perimiter of the home...up the walls 5 feet and out into the yard about 15 feet. This will keep them at bay for a while. You need to keep the dog away from the mixture until it dries.





Pay particular attention to window frames, basement windows, doors, and joints between the foundation and the house . Look around outside for any anthills and deliver a lethal dose of the pesticide to the mound.

Pest Control For The Yard That is Safe For Pets?

I have a Dilemma , I need to find a Pest Control For my Back yard that wont harm my 2 Dogs is their such a product .





Best Answer 10 Points !!Pest Control For The Yard That is Safe For Pets?
Organicide. it's made from Sesame oil, fish oil, and lecithin.





you could even lick it and not get sick. it's safe for people, pets, everything but bugs. you have to treat sort of often though, as it washes away after a heavy rain.





it's ok against fleas, but doesn't get rid of ';flea beetles'; which like to eat up eggplant. i found this out the hard way last week





: (Pest Control For The Yard That is Safe For Pets?
It depends on what pests you have. There are tons of household products that do wonders to relieve your yard of pests - fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, etc.





Perform a google search for specific instructions. I have used the dish detergent remedy for my front yard. It suffocates everything lives in your dirt but doesn't harm the grass or your pets.





If it's more serious I'd take the advice of the other 2 before my post and call a professional exterminator. Their chemicals are still harmful to pets (as they all are) but the affects on the pests are faster than over the counter products and they are only harmful when wet or first applied. So it's less threatening to your furry friends.





Good Luck
My advice - use a professional exterminator, make sure they know that you have pets and remove your pets from the home for the day. Follow any instructions the exterminator gives you for keeping your animals safe.
Depends what kind of pests. For large ones dig down around your fence about a foot. then double up chicken wire and bury it aswell cant go wrong.
Yes, a professional exterminator can come and exterminate your yard with a safe product.

Should everyone who appears on Jeremy Kyle be shot as an act of pest control?

coz my goodness there is some scum on his show!Should everyone who appears on Jeremy Kyle be shot as an act of pest control?
The worst bit about it all is most have children-god help their poor little souls.Should everyone who appears on Jeremy Kyle be shot as an act of pest control?
A great suggestion...but....it would'nt work..there's just way too many of them..I was on the Isle Of Sheppey last week and... Jeeezzz.... the place was full of them...millions of chavs and their horrible kids... I had to hide in the Police Station in case I was attacked for being normal...lol
Absolutely. They should use the lie detector and ask them if they believe they have anything to give to society.All failures should be shot. While they are at it they could use a flame thrower on the hillbilly audience too! Good question.
That is an interesting idea.
HAHA they so should be, they're such scumbags.
may i suggest a mass program of sterilisation?
I AGREE!
first they need to know what a condom or the pill is,

My home is infested with crickets, any reason I should spare their lives before I call pest control?

Crickets are dirty and annoying. If you don't have a kitty who enjoys killing them (as I do), then you should get them killed off. I think one cricket might be good luck, but if a bunch of them are good luck, then I'd just stick with bad luck.My home is infested with crickets, any reason I should spare their lives before I call pest control?
Don't waste money on pest control. Go buy Bug Stop Clear and spray it around the house. Inside and out. It kills for 9 months and works really good.


Its like $7 or $8 and will do the same.My home is infested with crickets, any reason I should spare their lives before I call pest control?
Crickets are good luck.





I think the pest control people have a solution that will get them to go away rather than killing them.
You can catch them and sell them to the pet store. Most pet stores sell crickets for snake food. I personally don't think it's worth it.
All life is precious...





They don't pose any threat what-so-ever to human life...





Ancient Chinese People believed they were lucky and used to keep them as pets.





They eat smaller insectes





They can tell you the temperature with speed of their chirps.





Maybe you're not like every other human being that would rather kill something than live with a minor inconvenience.
You can feel like you are camping every night and fall asleep to the sweet sound of crickets!
Just think about their cricket children:(
well, they do make good fish bait.
OMG, kill a cricket!!!! How could you! You need to let them multiply and overwhelm your house. That is Mother Gaya's will. And the predators that will come in to lunch on cricket, will be an addition that is so exciting. What an Eco adventure is in store for you. Mice in the Hamburger Helper, Fire ants eating the remains. I mean, how could you ever think of calling an exterminator!
Buy a Lotto ticket first, Cricket are very good Luck.


The Crickets will bring you new life in Success


You are in a good spot
No, they are obviously guilty of home invasion.
No, none at all.
They seem to eat smaller insects.And their chirping is relaxing.But if your infested you should get some spray or have a pest control do it for you.
killing is a cream... ahemmm... crime i mean!

What are the crickets eating? Get rid of the crickets and you will have to deal with larger numbers of what they were having for dinner.
You could throw some moth balls under your furniture they don't like the smell and will move out.

I need a list of things to do to start a pest control company?

CustomersI need a list of things to do to start a pest control company?
Because of the chemicals you'll handle, you need a hazmet license (hazardous materials), insurance, source of chemicals (without the licenses you can't purchase what you need), advertising, customers, dispensers for chemicals.

Can brief but direct exposure to toxic pest-control chemicals cause Acute Myelogenous Leukemia?

Snack bar worker exposed to pest-control chemical by worker in a hazmat suit. Became deathly ill shortly after exposure and within 2-3 weeks was diagnosed with AML.Can brief but direct exposure to toxic pest-control chemicals cause Acute Myelogenous Leukemia?
the term toxic should be enough no one knows what CAN cause what and there is the individual variation something can affect 1 in a million (SORRY AT WORK) and leave the other 999,999 untouched but if this goes to court you have 0% Chance without a documented history of cause and effectCan brief but direct exposure to toxic pest-control chemicals cause Acute Myelogenous Leukemia?
I have not seen this reported. I would be skeptical. So many things have been blamed for causing cancer and leukemia and only a small percentage proved correct.
There have been proven links between certain radiations and leukemia type cancers. There has also been a proven link between the chemical Benzene and cancer. There may be other links between cancer and chemicals that I am not aware of. The best way to determine this is with the MSDS information from the chemical. A MSDS sheet is the Material Safety Data Sheet and it contains a list of all the ingredients and ALL the hazards and treatment due to exposure of that chemical. I would contact the pest control company for a copy of the MSDS sheet or contact OSHA for help.

Fleas purposelly planted by pest control?

1 week after fleas appeared at home, the pest control people showed up soliciting sales. Did they plant fleas to get sales?





Could it be that the pest control people purposely plant fleas and then come soliciting sales? Or is it just that each May is the flea season in Dallas/Ft Worth, Texas?Fleas purposelly planted by pest control?
Pest control companies order fleas off the internet and sprinkle them in every house they visit. They will sometimes add a few ticks to the couch. Every home office has a huge ant farm out back so the techs can infest the property.





Lawn maintenance companies carry weed seed to sprinkle about so you will need their service too.





Your fleas come from birds, rats, mice, cats, dogs, squirrels and any wild thing that crosses your lawn. If you have a pet, they brought the pest inside.





Now go drink a beer and start scratching.Fleas purposelly planted by pest control?
It's more temperature related than monthly related, but yes when it starts to get hot is when they get active. Check out a website www.fleasmart.com/life.htm for a more in depth explanation.
