In 1997, a University of Kentucky study found
the primary reason consumers do not call a professional pest control
operator when they have a pest problem is the fear of pesticides.
Cigarette smoke
repels ants, so if you are baiting and you smoke, remember to wash and then
wear clean gloves before you touch ant bait.
Ants are the most common cause of callbacks for
the pest control industry (3)
Stats
A British
entomologist estimated that 1018 (a billion billion) individual
insects are alive at any given instant.
This amounts to 10
billion for every km2 of land surface and 200 million living
insects for every living human being!
Over 99% of all
insect species are considered to be beneficial. They are food for other
animals
Over 4.5 billion pounds (lbs) of
volatile, synthetic pesticide poisons are added to the U.S. environment
every year!
