Today's episode of the DIY Naturepest podcast provides detailed insights into the effective use of Advion Roach Gel Bait for controlling roach infestations.

Holistic pest control expert Franklin Hernandez, addresses a question about the longevity of Advion Roach Gel Bait once applied, as it tends to dry up quickly. He explains that the effectiveness of roach bait is not solely dependent on how long it lasts after application, but rather on its ability to facilitate horizontal transfer or secondary and tertiary kills. This process involves roaches consuming the bait and then spreading it to other members of their colony through regurgitation or excretion, effectively poisoning other roaches that come into contact with these excretions.

Frank advises that for heavy infestations, reapplication of the bait might be necessary after a week. However, for lighter infestations, the bait should be effective for about two weeks. He emphasizes the importance of not contaminating the bait with over-the-counter sprays or other substances, as this can reduce its attractiveness and effectiveness against roaches.

The video highlights the need for regular inspection of baited areas to determine if the bait is being consumed and to decide if reapplication is necessary. This approach ensures the most effective use of the bait in controlling roach populations.

In this video, Franklin Hernandez conducts a thorough pest-proofing inspection of a house, detailing the various entry points and issues that can contribute to pest infestations. Key highlights from the transcript include: Concrete Repairs: Issue: Franklin identifies areas where concrete repairs have been improperly executed. Impact: These faulty repairs have resulted in gaps, which are potential entry points for pests. Specific Example: He points out one area in particular where due to the poor quality of the repair, pests such as roaches, mice, and rats can easily penetrate. Vent Damage: Issue: The house has vents that are damaged, specifically highlighting around 11 of them. Impact: The wear and tear on these vents are concerning because they provide easy access for a variety of pests. Recommendation: Franklin suggests that while they can be temporarily fixed, a more durable solution would be needed to prevent future pest entry. Temporary Solutions: Issue: Some homeowners might opt for quick fixes, such as mesh screens from local stores. Impact: These solutions might not be sturdy enough in the long run, especially when exposed to outdoor elements or tools like weed eaters. Advice: Franklin advises against relying solely on these fixes, as they may not last or be effective. Crawl Space Door: Issue: The crawl space door's aluminum screen is not strong enough to prevent pests from entering. Impact: Rats, for instance, can easily chew through such materials. Recommendation: Franklin directs attention to NaturePest's proofing page for a more robust solution which will not only be effective but also have a longer lifespan. House Corners: Issue: There are small crevices and cracks, especially in the corners of the house. Impact: Over time, these cracks can widen and serve as easy entry points for pests. Observation: Franklin comments on how pests, such as roaches, don't infiltrate these spaces overnight—it happens over time. Garage Issues: Issue: Gaps in the garage door allow light to penetrate, indicating significant spaces where pests can enter. Impact: These gaps are not just entrances for larger pests but even for small insects like roaches. Recommendation: Franklin suggests employing a garage door company that can properly fix the door, ensuring no light (indicative of gaps) is visible. Concrete Damages: Issue: Several sections of the property, both inside the garage and behind the refrigerator, have damaged concrete. Impact: Such damages are not just structural concerns but also act as gateways for pests. Solutions: Franklin mentions that these damages can be repaired with concrete, and offers NaturePest's services for the same. Recommendations During Renovations: Issue: When homeowners undertake renovations, many contractors might overlook sealing areas that are typically out of sight. Impact: Neglecting these hidden areas can lead to pest infiltrations, defeating the purpose of having a pest control service. Advice: Franklin urges homeowners to be vigilant during renovations and ensure all potential entry points, visible or not, are sealed off. Quote and Contact: Summary: To conclude the inspection, Franklin mentions having provided a comprehensive quote detailing the necessary interventions to ensure the house is sealed against pests. Next Steps: Encouraging proactive action, he invites the homeowner to reach out with any queries or concerns regarding the proposed solutions. Through the inspection, Franklin's approach underscores NaturePest's commitment to a comprehensive and preventative approach to pest control.
