What is my best options for treatment of these areas? I have been using VIPER spray and other types of treatment but still have a huge problem. Thanks.

slug control in large yard

Tech Support — Mon, 14 May 2012 12:41:56 +0000

We have a huge slug infestation in our front and back yards. You can’t walk 5 feet in any direction without finding 3 or more egg sites/clusters. We don’t have a garden or any plants and flowers that would normally attract them and with 6 years in our home this is the first year we’ve ever seen them in the yard. I’ve done lime treatments to change the soil pH, multiple slug killer treatments over several weeks to catch their breeding cycles, and on the spot destruction of their egg clusters whenever we see them. Nothing has worked! We have no pets but do have 3 children under the age of 9 that play on the lawn. Can u recommend the best way to totally eliminate this large infestation we’re seeing?

Hi there,

Do you have ultrasound devices to get rid of Shallow/Shallowtails Birds nesting in our home? How effective are they and how much it costs plus shipping and handling to Issaquah, WA.?

sowbugs in potted plants

Tech Support — Sun, 06 May 2012 15:29:02 +0000

I have a small nursery greenhouse and am having a terrible problem with sowbugs getting into my potted plants and making nests and actually destroying the roots. The pots are sitting on either ground cover or wooden racks. Spraying the plant itself won’t help probably. Any suggestions?

termidor treatment question

Tech Support — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:14:49 +0000

Hi there. I’m looking to treat my yard with Termidor. I have a concrete slab that goes all the way around my foundation. I know I can dig trench’s and pour the Termidor in it, but since I have slabs is it better for me to drill holes around my house? Is there something I have to buy to inject the Termidor with in the holes or can I just pour it in them? Finally if I have to drill holes how deep should I go? Thanks!

Hi, I found these beetles on our house yesterday for the first time so I got on the computer to find out what they are and did not like what I found out!! I have a beautiful 20ft+ wisteria vine and just bought another one! What can I do to get rid of them and if I spray them it needs to be pet friendly. Is there an attractent type trap like the one I use for the japanese beetles? We live in Lake Toxaway NC.

mushrooms growing from wall

Tech Support — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:07:52 +0000

We had to replace our hot water heater as it was leaking. We cleaned up well, not much water, however it did seep under the next wall (very little) but it was all dry. This space is maybe a sq ft. The next day there was black/black powder, I was worried it was burnt from lighting the new heater. Then in one more day I saw mushrooms growing from the wall, vanity, and “flower” or stems coming out of my wicker cabinet. I have been afraid of cleaning it as I have bad allergies and dont want to use bleach. If I get someone to do this my question is: Is it safe to keep my vanity and cabinet? Do I have to remove sheetrock, as there is a minute amount on that?

I have the above citrus houseplants with a big problem. I see no bugs on the leaves, however I saw little black flies on the soil. The leaves are shiny, sticky, curled and at times there are little clear sticky balls, pin head size, on the trunk at leaf joints.
