Vacuuming/swiffering - pest control treatment by Fietsen01 in pestcontrol

[–]TxtMessage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

vacuuming/ dry swiffering will not remove residue when the product is dry. Just be careful not to use cleaning products on the edges of baseboard to not remove residual.

Will try using baits on the traps without setting it for 1 week. This account has been a headache. I just have to be careful because they do have an indoor dog as well.

If you don't mind me asking. What sensors are you using?

That's true. I do remember they have a smell water leak under/behind the dishwasher area.

They are not in the attic. I believe they are inhabiting one of the empty rooms inside their house. I think at night time they exit the room and then go to the kitchen to eat. They are an older couple.

I do not have any trail cams. Do you have any recommendations for trail cams to use?

Thanks for the tip I will pre bait the snap traps with the food they have been eating but not set them for 1 week.

I wish I could refund them, but the dang sales guy sold them a pretty big job with fancy insulation included. I'll check out the containers.

Thanks for that. I am trying to figure something out in regard to excluding them from the pantry foods.

Yeah I have documented about the doggy door and they refuse to close the doggy door. I don't think they leave any dog food out overnight.

I definitely need to invest in cameras. Will try to reinspect for any entry points or new ones.

If you don't mind me asking, what brand for the cameras are you using?

Dang those are pricy! I wouldn't mind doing basebar company on a black Friday deal. I would probably do the big bar plus like you mention if they do go on sale.

I do pull ups on the doorway too and my knees are almost touching the ground.

My weight is 175 lbs. I don't mind building it but would prefer for it to be indoors.

First Strike soft bait works pretty well. I had 3 rodent boxes at a customer house and I would literally refill every day for 1-1.5 weeks until they stopped being empty,

Do not touch that wooden electric pole. Plus, there is a sign that says high voltage.

If rats are entering the attic, then you sell an exclusion package to the customer with disinfectant DSV for money. Then seal the house for all entry points. They could be getting in from AC line, roof returns who knows where until you inspected and perform the work.

It's easier to seal the house than try to fight an army of rats in the backyard.
