  • Sprays are great, but baits, gels, and granules are effective tools in the pest control trade when sprays may not be used or as effective. In this video, Cardon Ellis shares the do's and don'ts of pest control granule treatments on a property in Santa Clarita. Learn and enjoy :)

    I use to be a pest control applicator (technical name in Virginia) and loved spraying Spekoz Evercide from my BG sprayer. Sadly I believe it has been discontinued in the last 10 years but that perimeter spray treatment did its job effectively and never once had a callback after application. I would only apply granules if the customer was complaining about an upsweep in pest sightings. I am no longer a tech but the knowledge I retained on applications to tool usage as well as crack and crevice treatments is priceless. I do my own pest control on my own property (to be clear) and it saves money!

    So if your lawn sits partially up on a hill, you can't use the granules in those areas because when it rains it will go downhill?

    After ants invaded the kitchen, I used some RTU insect spray around the perimeter of the house and followed up with a premium lawn treatment granule. No more ants after 2-3 weeks.. Its not rocket science but requires more than one application to be effective, per label instructions.

    I'm a licensed pest control technician and chicken feeding your granules like that never gives you even coverage, always use a bulb duster for spot treating or simply use a spreader.

      I treat a lot of basements in a big city. I wear my respirator anytime i am in a basement because 1. insecticide smell bothers me, and i dont want to get sick in an enclosed space. 2. these basements many times have code violations, asbestos lead etc. 3. i dont want to smell rodent feces or dead rodents in these basements. in apartments i wouldnt normally wear my respirator, but during COVID, i wear a respirator IF i have to do an apartment. As soon as i do my first building, i put it on, and it stays on the whole day for the most part.
