I have a few products that can relieve your fly issues. Please visit the store or call. Thank you for your reply. Pennie, manager.

What you see is the water in the pond/fountain.

You can buy pretty cheap strips for those. They are made of flexible mesh and stick to those window holes.

You are missing the weep hole covers. They are like little mini blinds for those holes. Your installer did not put those in but you can buy a box of 20 for 7 dollars more or less

Very smart! Let us know if you still have any problems with ants. Covering your weep holes may not be enough to get rid of an infestation, in which case we can share other ways to get rid of those ants.

I also was thinking of using copper mesh but further research showed that it’s actually a very poor idea- the mesh will definitely seriously compromise the ventilation /air flow especially when put in the way she showed. The best solution is to use those SS covers which have clear ventilation holes. They are expensive but they are the only solution really. You can DIY with a strong steel wire mesh and cut n bend. But that would be a bit more difficult and would need some cutting saw/tools

Great question! Our copper wire mesh actually won't restrict any drainage or air flow because it is not just mesh but WIRED mesh, which leaves enough room for airflow and drainage while still protecting from rodents and pests.

@@imrantahir1687 SS covers are a decent option. The steel wire mesh can rust over time while the copper wire mesh won't. Our copper wire mesh won't restrict airflow or drainage unless you use too much and bunch it up too densely.

@@doityourselfpestandweedcon8729- people can use it if they want- but to achieve a stable cover - any flexible wire mesh would need to be fairly dense and hence would definitely seriously restrict flow - this is nothing to do with one product over another. I have tried it myself. The best option is to either buy those expensive covers or just order a 1/4 or even 1/8 inch galvanized wire mesh with 26g wire and cut and put those in. V cheap and it def works

They don’t they only go after cicadas

Cicadas are usually the ones eating the fruit on your trees. If you have cicadas in your lawn then that will attract the cicada killers, but don't worry we can get rid of both of them. Feel free to call our store or stop by to learn about more options!

@@doityourselfpestandweedcon8729 I beg to disagree. I have never seen a cicada eating my fruit. I also see cicada killers 10 to every one cicada I see. The yellow jackets and cicada killers attack the top of the fruit that ripens first near the top of the tree and then work their way down.

Permethrin

In the video she used permethrin But you can also use Bifenthrin.

I guess you can get these pesticides at tractor supply or southern states or any other agri dealer?

We've got cicadas, wasps and yellow jackets this year in NC. Haven't seen any honey bees in a long time. Our outdoor cats and dog are eating the cicadas.

The cicadas are deafening now. I can hear them inside. It's making me nuts. Turned up the tv to drown it out. Sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock invasion of the flies movie.

If you're able, take a photo of those holes and either stop by our store or email them to us and we can help identify them!

Thank you for your comment! It's true that these bugs are very important and they have a part to play. We definitely do not want them to all disappear, but if they are intruding on people's lives then there are ways to repel them. We also offer organic products like the one used in this video so that your landscaping, gardens, and water won't be affected or polluted. If you have any questions please feel free to email, call, or stop by our store!

Yes! With our copper wire mesh the weep holes can still breathe. The copper won't rust and it's a natural deterrent for bugs and rodents.

In the video she used permethrin but you can also use bifenthrin. Stop by anytime and we can show you our different products for this!

You can still protect your property by keeping up with your quarterly sprays!

You can always landscape with plants less attractive to the wasps.

In the video she used Permethrin but you can also use Bifenthrin. These are easy products to use and they can help with many other pests as well.

Can you make any plant recommendations?​@@litsci1877

Depends on which part of the country you're in. East coast ones are black and yellow. Some of the west coast ones are reddish brown or orange, yellow and brown.

😂

The active ingredient in our 0-0-7 and our Andersons pre-emergent is Prodiamine.

Thank you for your reply! Its a bifenthrin granular. If they are already inside our garage then you may need to use some products inside your house as well as outside.

No they're harmless

Well my lawn guy refuses to cut on the side of my house where they are.....I am sick of them!!!!!!!

They only come out once every 17 years lol.

@@therainmakerinsider Wrong, it's their prey that has that long cycle.

I have read professional entomology scientists saying the sting is very severe, like a small caliber gunshot wound. People who say it's mild took stings shortly after it discharged its venom into a cicada.

Learn about them and your fear will diminish lots.

I never really have had a problem with bees and wasps there both really friendly and only attack if you mess around with them too much bees help pollinate all our crops and wasps are better and chemical free way of pest control

That was all I had and can concur it seems to work. Used the bottle with the powered wand - placed the tip in the hole and let it flow. I applied it at night when everyone was home and the next day, I only saw one buzzing around instead of the 10 or so that would normally be there.

@@philshock3805 Thanks, I will try that, I Already have it

Thank you, we try to give you relevant, current information!

Tell that to my yard! I have 10 giant holes in my yard and it's really unnerving to have huge wasps buzzing around your driveway.

While they don't usually pose a threat to humans, they can intrude on your landscaping causing damage.

Amen! Agreed.

Lols wait till one bites you

Yes, we agree. The customers who want them gone because of fear of allergies to possible stings are the ones we don't argue with. In our store we help customers one-on-one and encourage not killing insects when there is no need to.

The problem is where they choose to nest. I've got a growing issue with them right off my patio and while they may not actually "attack" to the point of stinging, it's pretty obvious from the agitated behavior they don't like intruding humans. Sorry, that's my space and I'm top of the food chain. (Mine don't even seem to live up to their names ... obnoxiously loud Cicadas are another issue around here. lol)

@@philshock3805 Agree, Phil. They will knock a man off his riding mower if given the chance.

No, I'm not telling you to go to the hardware store and ask what they have for sale. Come to our store in Plano, and get the products that Lauri showed and talked about. Ziplock bags of water with pennies is a home remedy that works for some. The products Lauri talked about in the video work.

Good comment, but maybe not practical! This spray only takes out flies and the like, and it's not harmful to other insects.

@@laurismith3057 True.(ish).Spraying the window pane at night... It takes out any insect that needs to sun itself in the breaking dawn. It also takes out moths overnight. If crawlers(ants/termites)are the annoyance ...use bicarb and sugar .....(mixed,50/50).... sugar is the bait,bicarb once ingested mixes with their inherent acids to not merely kill them.... but if they are 'injured'...their team takes them home to recover(they don't) as more of them die in ant M.A.S.H.their bodies themselves exude carrbon monoxide/dioxide due to the mix of formic acid and bicarb....this gas poisons the nest underground and prevents reinfestation for a time. rats/mice....mix sugar/bicarb with(concrete mix).....a spoonful of this onto a DRY(so dry it has zero water content)stale slice of bread. 🐁not only does it dehydrate mickey and roland it also gives them flatulence.... the beauty of this particular method rather than conventional rodent poison is that it DOES NOT cause.....? SECONDARY POISONING Sadly when Australia nsw suffered its recent mouse plague......the farmers poisoned the predators....along with the local food chain... they killed mice....birds(carrion eaters),fish. The ozzies continually moan about feral cats rather than human interventions which have had way bigger impact on their local fauna. (any cat that eats a koala removes itself from the food chain within 24hours due to inability to cope with eucalyptus poisoning)
