Your One-Stop Solution for DO-IT-YOURSELF Pest Control Products

Are you welcoming fall with spiders? It is common to notice more spiders in your properties during fall as the temperatures starts dropping down.

Fall is peak mating season for Spiders. Spiders that had hatched in spring have gown during summer and are looking for a partner to mate in fall to lay eggs before winter.

September and October is peak Spider season in USA. Spider’s start invading your homes in search of food and shelter to lay their eggs, spiders that are on webs are usually female spiders and spiders that you see crawling around are male spiders that are in search of female spiders.

Spiders feed on other small insects, so if you have spiders inside your property, it means you also have other pests in your house and you need to find a solution that would control these crawling pests.

At pest control products depot we recommend DIY pest control using an insecticide dust in such situation. When applied correctly following the label, Insecticide dust is often the most effective choice for providing superior control of a broad range of crawling insects. Dusting is economical and provides excellent penetration into hard-to-reach areas, fast knockdown and long-term results.

Drione Dust Insecticide

Drione Dust Insecticide manufactured by Bayer is labeled as Insecticide dust ready-to-use formulation. It consists an active ingredient combined with a finely ground, dry carrier. The particle size in each Bayer dust insecticide is scientifically engineered for ease of application, coverage of treated surfaces, and optimum absorption by crawling pests.

Drione is a desiccant dust approved for use in residences, commercial accounts, food plants and granaries. It provides fast control of ants, cockroaches, spiders and other pests, and will remain effective for up to six months when left undisturbed.

Drione features natural pyrethrum plus amorphous silica gel that is produced from sand and erodes the insect cuticle, causing the pest to die from dehydration.

Drione is an excellent flushing tool that is ideal for pinpointing infestations in hard-to-reach areas. It comes with a cap that also acts as an applicator, simply apply the dust into cracks, crevices and voids where pests may hide.

Any pests that are present will run from the treated area, but they won’t get far due to Drione’s fast knockdown. And with Drione’s long residual, pests will not be able to re-infest the treated area for up to six months, saving you time on future visits.

Cold weather will bring pests indoors. During fall and winter, rodent infestations are very common in the United States.

Rodents are known to spread many diseases such as salmonella and Hantavirus. They can reproduce fast, invading your homes and businesses. They can cause severe damage to your property and even be a potential fire hazard as they can chew electric wires.

If you can identify rodents and find their location sooner rather than later, you can treat them efficiently yourself. #DIYPESTCONTROL

Common Rodents you may come across are:

• Roof Rats: Roof rats are black to brown, they like nesting in trees and upper portion of buildings like ceilings. They are about 7 inches in size.
• House mice: House mice are grey in color and they like to nest in cluttered areas like garages, behind appliances, closets and attics. They are about 4 inches in size.
• Norway Rats: Norway rats are greyish brown in color and they like nesting in borrows and lower portion of building likes basement, sewers. They are about 10 inches in size.

Foul smell, droppings, strange noises, trails of footprints and gnaw marks are main indications you may have Rodents inside your property. Rodents only travel about 25 feet away from their nest. Try finding the nest by inspecting for these signs inside your house.

To help protect against threats from Rodents, NPMA recommends the following tips:

• Insert door sweeps and repair damaged screens.
• Screen vents and openings to chimneys.
• Seal cracks and holes on the outside of the home.
• Replace loose mortar and weather stripping.
• Store food in airtight containers and dispose of garbage regularly.
• Keep attics, basements and crawl spaces well-ventilated and dry.
• Repair leaking pipes and clogged drains.
• Inspect all packaging for damage before bringing into the home.
• Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the home.

Glue traps should never be placed in areas where children or pets may come in contact. In the event of child, pet (or adult) becoming affixed to a glue trap, vegetable-cooking oil will separate the glue from the person or pet.

For best results, place Catchmaster 48 WRG Cold Temperature Glue board Trap directly in the rodent's runway between its nest and food supply -- every 8 to 12 feet (2.4 to 3.6m) for mice and 15 to 30 feet (4.5 to 9m) for rats.

With you and your pets enjoying fall season outside and spending more time outdoors, you are more susceptible to Tick bites. Ticks jump on to the host when you brush against a plant they are present in. They are often found in grass or shrubs.

There are many species of ticks but the most dangerous of them all are the Deer Ticks. Deer ticks are also called Black legged Ticks; they are as tiny as a pinhead in size and are found across the United States.

Bite from a Deer tick can cause Lyme disease, Lyme disease cause flu like symptoms and some people also develop a red ring like rash. Lyme disease usually is treated with antibiotics, but some people experience long-term problems with joints, heart, muscles and nerves continuing for months.

CDC says Lyme disease is most frequently reported from the Upper Midwestern and northeastern United States. Some cases are also reported in northern California, Oregon, and Washington. In 2015, 95% of Lyme disease cases were reported from 14 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

TICK PREVENTION TIPS:

• Some non-chemical techniques that help reduce tick problems include keeping grass and weed cut sort in tick-infested areas. This discourages alternative hosts, such as rodent.
• Removal of clutter and debris on the property will also discourage rodent populations, as will removal of any nesting material left by rodents.
• Wearing long sleeve shirt, pant and shoes when outdoors or hiking.
• Removal of bird nests in and around structures will reduce the number of ticks, especially of soft ticks.
• Fencing of yard and leash laws prevent dog from staying into tick-infested fields, woods and parks. However, where deer populations are high in urban or suburban areas, populations of the deer ticks that are vectors of Lyme disease are also likely to be high in yards, parks, schoolyards, cemeteries and golf courses and around ponds and along streams.
• Screening and sealing house entry points used by tick hosts, such as squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks and bats will also reduce tick problems in and around the home.
• Sealing cracks and crevices where ticks can hide, both inside and on the exterior of home, will aid in management.
• Regular examination and grooming of pets (especially dogs) and frequent cleaning of their bedding, is also strongly recommended.
• Infested pet bedding should be carefully washed or disposed of. The area around the pet bed should be carefully and thoroughly treated.
• Remove the occasional tick found indoor by vacuuming, seal the vacuum bag and place it in the trash.
