Here are some more top performers from 2016:
Pro-Pest Professional
Rodent Lure is a lure for mice and rats that works! Usually I would start a
new year off writing about something a little more romantic than rodents;
however, with all the construction and with the Lowcountry being the most
hospitable place in the world the rodents, bedbugs, and roaches have come here
too!
Use Pro-Pest
Professional Rodent Lure with a snap trap or glue board and you will notice
the difference. The matrix of attractants is peanut-free for those with
allergies (or for the professionals treating accounts that must be peanut-free)
and is really attractive to bait shy rodents. I have had several pictures of
two rats caught on one trap sent to me by professionals using this aromatic
blend of food-grade products.
Holiday Festival of
Lights at James Island County Park. It is not the holiday season around our
house without several trips through the light show. To think it has been going
on for twenty-seven years and the excitement is still there (with some of mine
I think it is because the smores are still there).
Considered one of the:
“Top 100 Events in North America,” American Bus Association
“Top 10 Light Shows
in the USA,” America’s Best Online
“Third Best Public Lights Display in the US,” USA Today’s 10
Best Readers’ Choice Award. Just to name
a few of the Holiday Festival of Lights recent accolades. When travelling
during the holiday season, I know I have toured other light shows, and none of
them hold a candle to the Holiday Festival of Lights.
Growth regulators
helped out with plants and pests this year. Bed bug, fire ant, roach and flea
control success has been greatly increased by the addition of growth
regulators. Customers controlling fleas outdoors and indoors were aided by the
addition of growth regulators. The addition of a growth regulator to a contact
kill product greatly increased the success of managing a pest population by
disrupting the insect’s life cycle. Once you kill the pest, there are no new
ones to replace them.
With all the rain plant
growth regulators helped many contractors and brave homeowners control the
growth of their plants or turf with a control product instead of a mower or
hedge trimmer. With all the rain this fall, some yards were hard to keep
maintained with a mower because they were too wet. The right application of a
plant growth regulator can easily cut your need to mow in half to even a
quarter of the frequency that you usually mow. If you do not want to do your
whole yard, consider doing the edges along your sidewalk, driveway, and bed
lines. Less edging means more time for other activities.
The growth of your shrubs can also be controlled by plant growth regulators. Less hedging
means more time for other activities. Just think no hedging (extension cord?),
no clean up, no paper bag by street – priceless.
Invict Gold Cockroach
Gel for roach control is one of those products that friends tell friends
about. Customers will walk up to the counter and say, “my neighbor (substitute
brother, sister, cousin, guy I drink beer with, girlfriend, buddy, mother,
father, person I go to church with … you get the idea) says I need to try Invict Gold Cockroach Gel for my
cousin (since no one admits they have roaches).” Invict Gold Cockroach Gel is a great product to rotate with to
introduce a new bait matrix and new active ingredient to avoid bait aversion. Invict
Gold Cockroach Gel is a very fast acting bait compared to other baits.
I had a friend (known him since second grade and
horticulturist from Clemson) call me about roach control. He had been using a
different gel, so I suggested Invict
Gold Cockroach Gel to mix up the active ingredients and bait matrix. He
called me the next day to report the success he had. He called me back again
later to let me know his wife (a lawyer) had read great reviews about Invict Gold Cockroach Gel online. A
little online confirmation never hurts.
I always wonder who writes the online reviews…
