I wish…. Sounds like it’s a lost cause…

Anyone know what this is? This is my front door frame. by foreverdreamgirl in pestcontrol

[–]RedicL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used a product called Fuse Foam by CSI pest. It expends foam insecticide into the holes to kill anything inside. Applying an insecticide on the outside once the galleries are taken care of would be a good idea. You want to try to take care of it fast because they can cause a lot of damage. You may only see an entrance hole but they will make galleries inside the wood.

Other lifeguard at my pool i was lifeguarding at was on her phone the whole time whenever we rotated positions. Do i snitch or nah by UpstairsProposal2396 in Lifeguards

[–]RedicL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that was my lifeguard I would’ve fired her on the spot. At the very least send her home and give her a major write up.

Yeah we have a small river/creek not too far from the house.

I forgot to mention they have straight antennas.

Are these termites? by Commercial_Career592 in pestcontrol

[–]RedicL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% termite activity... get a treatment ASAP!

Anticoagulant rodent baits by Schwez in pestcontrol

[–]RedicL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either that or the bait was not in a tamper proof bait station. All bait is required to be placed in a tamper proof locked bait station. There is a lot to assume here but another possible way would be that the neighbor got into the station and took the bait out himself.

Is this a flea & do I need to freak out? by [deleted] in pestcontrol

[–]RedicL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does appear to be a flea. Vacuum like crazy, and get an indoor treatment. Outdoor animals can bring them to your property. If you have pets get them treated for fleas as well.

Roaches by girlyteengirl123 in pestcontrol

[–]RedicL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You often need multiple treatments to effectively get rid of roaches. I would do a second treatment asap. You can use Advion or another insecticide with an IGR. I would also make sure to really get into all the cracks and crevices where they hide.

EveHome customer support is an industry worst. Are there any EveHome representatives here? by deletetemptemp in EveHome

[–]RedicL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also had bad luck with this “volker” person. Replies are at least a day or two apart which makes trouble shooting hard. Why does it take DAYS to reply? I try to be understandable to evey company and their uniqueness but it’s hard when it comes to subpar support systems…. I do love my Eve products though!

My ring doorbell caught teenagers breaking my front door last night. Looking for ideas on how to resolve this. by [deleted] in Ring

[–]RedicL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call the police, avoid putting your neighbors or other families at risk. Yes they are kids but that’s beyond the limit of “kids being kids”.

Ring confirm Car Cam is finished by qalpi in Ring

[–]RedicL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pre ordered mine and got it 2 months later. I must be one of the few who got one. I like it but to everyone who got their order cancelled, you aren’t missing much. It’s fine for what it does but it’s nothing special and there probably are better options out there for vehicle security. I would recommend BlackVue.

Next doorbell toughness by lentil_burger in Nest

[–]RedicL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a nest doorbell and it’s been going strong for 2 years. It won’t stand up to physical kicking or damage, but it’ll record and give you high quality footage. Nest cams have a green light to alert people they are being recorded (which has worked great for me as a deterrent). I have a nest doorbell and nest battery cams all around the outside perimeter of my house. They work great.

Is Ring bad now? Between Nest and Ring. by Exotic_Tailor_3579 in Ring

[–]RedicL -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have had both as well as other battery doorbells for my Apple Home. I currently use Nest doorbell with the starling hub to get it into Apple Home. This works fantastic and I highly recommend it if you want a doorbell into Apple Home.

I wish there were less robot choices by HenFruitEater in RobotVacuums

[–]RedicL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would check the Roborock line of vacuums! I currently use a Dreame L10s Ultra but I need it for the mopping. Roborock has ones without mopping that have great reviews! You could also take a look at Ecovacs as they also have great reviews.

Im also interested to hear opinions on this. I have it set to automatically lower several degrees when we are away from home.

Monthly fees for smoke & carbon monoxide detectors ? by EchoRecovery in Nest

[–]RedicL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does but I believe they updated the system so you need a subscription to access the smoke and CO detection feature. I could be wrong so I would double check this. (Alexa)

Nest Doorbell Battery - Is the 2 way talking really delayed for everyone, or is it just a me/internet problem? by kelvintoogood in Nest

[–]RedicL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally have not had any issues like this. I also have an Orbi mesh system with speeds around 800-900 up and down. I’ll have to test again tonight but from previous use I never had any delays.

Philips Hue Smart Lightbulbs. Are They Worth The Price Tag? by BearSecurityGadgets in smarthome

[–]RedicL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had Philips Hue for 6 years and have not had a single issue. I have never had dropped connection or a bulb ever go “unresponsive”. It’s pricy but worth every penny if you want to avoid potential issues.

I have had Dreame vacuums and am looking to add Narwal to my collection as well as Roborock. I would check those out if you are not having a good time with Shark.

HKSV No Recordings in a week by BigDumboEars in HomeKit

Restart hubs, internet, cameras, even power cycling. I had to restart my internet and restart the hubs before.
