I've had 22+ years of experience in the professional pest control business, I

have yet to encounter an insect pest that cannot be effectively

eliminated/controlled with safe, poison/odor free products and methods. In fact,

our

poison free products and systems actually work much better and last much longer

than the toxic pesticides and chemicals that have literally ravaged human and

environmental health. Whether it's ants, roaches, termites, fleas, ticks,

lawn pests, mosquitoes or other flying insects out for a free blood meal, (i.e.

sand flies, no-see-ums, & black flies), we have the poison free solution and

will gladly share our extensive knowledge

Uncle Albert's Super Smart Ant Bait has no odor.

Questions and Answers

Jerry Goodman has generously offered to answer our questions about pesticide

alternatives and products.

 

Please submit your questions to this site on the _Contact _

(http://www.citlink.net/~bhima/contact_information.htm) page or directly to

Jerry Goodman,

via his e mail. I will post the questions and answers here, so we can all

benefit, unless you specify otherwise.

Question 1. I live near a city that has no organic pest control available.

Is there any way I could make safe pest control products or service for my

health food store available? The management says that the health department

requires them to use a licensed pest control operator.

Answer: I never heard of a health dept. requirement that a professional PCO

needs to treat a health store. You could effectively do it yourself with a

number of different poison free products and you will not have any pests, so

the health dept. could not write you a violation.

Question 2. Can you evaluate the effectiveness of the various non-toxic

methods for termite control? Especially the microwave method and heat method?

Answer: We could supply you with safe, effective products for whatever

problems you may have. I have heard of the microwave technique for drywood

termites, but I do not know much about it. As far as Heat, (Thermal Pest

Eradication), I know quite a bit, as I introduced this process to South Florida

in 1990.

Heat can very very effective if done properly and thoroughly and I'm sure

the Heat system, (ours is called " Heatwave TPE " ), is more effective than the

microwave, because it heats entire rooms, thereby preventing the possible

escape

of the termites to cooler areas where they can survive. I would also

highly recommend sodium borate for all accessible, bare surfaced wood, as

sodium

borate is the only product and system that will afford long term if not

permanent protection from new termites. We treat homes under construction,

where we

are able to coat every stick of wood and we offer lifetime warranties

against termites.

 

Please note: Concerning all pest control substances, anyone with MCS/EI

 

should consult with their doctor and test the products carefully before

using.

Mosquito Control

The studies cited here were sponsored by the Indian Council of Medical

Research, and published in the Journal of the American Mosquito Control

Association. Neem cake is the residue left after pressing the neem seeds to

extract the

oil. It is used in India to kill larvae in standing water. It is an

excellent fertilizer which kills nematodes.

The most economical source of solvent and aflatoxin free neem oil, and neem

cake is _http://neemresource.com_ (http://neemresource.com/) Make your own

repellent by mixing neem oil into unscented skin lotion or an oil such as

apricot kernel. For 8 ounces of carrier, the amount of neem oil to add is:

4.6ml for 2% (1/8 oz.)

6.7ml for 3% (1/4 oz.)

11.6ml for 5% (1/3 oz.)

Ant Bait

Home Made Ant Bait Recipe- Desert Tested

Mix well, 1 part Borax with 1 part powdered sugar in empty milk carton(s).

Our home takes about 4 lbs.of powdered sugar and 2 boxes of Borax. Place it

where the wall meets the ground in a narrow strip, around the entire perimeter

of the building. Before applying, wet the ground so the mixture will not blow

away. Allow several days for this to work. Ants will carry it to their nest

and it knocks them out. We tried using the bait inside the house in lids, but

this did not work.

This recipe seems to be effective in the desert where ants rule! After a

rain, it needs to be reapplied.

I have been using this for years inside the house in small lids where the ants

tend to be and it works great. May be in New England we do not get the amount of

ants there are in the desert. But do try it in the house because I have luck

with it. I mix it with about 2 parts Borax to 1 part white sugar and only mix

may be a cup and a half at a time. (I never measure I just dump it together but

I know there is more Borax than sugar.)
