Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:00:00 PST http://www.pestweb.com/todaysquestion.cfm?id=4507 I have a customer who has little beetles that look like sawtoothed grain beetles on the floor next to base boards in every part of her home. I have treated with CyKick CS and bifenthrin and they don't seem to have slowed down a bit. Do you have ideas on what I need to do next? Also, I have a customer with lots of slugs on the side of her home, and we have used Sluggo and another granular snail bait. Her yard has no trees and is very open with lots of grass and very little flower beds. Do you have any ideas what to use next? The customer wants to mix salt with my outside treatment and try to kill them that way. Please help.... Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:00:00 PST http://www.pestweb.com/todaysquestion.cfm?id=4505 A couple of questions. I have never seen an open bed bug egg. What happens to the egg shell after the bed bug hatches? Second, unlike roaches I have never found a bed bug inside an electrical appliance. I have found them around stereo speakers and in the wooden frame of some components, but never inside. ... Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 PST http://www.pestweb.com/todaysquestion.cfm?id=4504 I have been told different ways and times to treat for worms in apple trees. What is the right way and the right product?... Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:00:00 PST http://www.pestweb.com/todaysquestion.cfm?id=4503 I am servicing a flour mill/warehouse facility. They are an organic facility so the products I can use for stored product pests are limited. They especially have a problem with Indian meal moth during the summer months. We have been using OMRI approved botanical products and pheromone monitors to help control them. The facility has no climate control currently and can reach temperatures of 80-90 degrees in the summer. They are looking at insulating it and cooling it. Would this help with their pest problem, and at what temperature would it help? ...

Tue, 9 Mar 2010 00:00:00 PST http://www.pestweb.com/todaysquestion.cfm?id=4491 There has been some talk that bed bugs can be eliminated by use use of Gentrol only. This doesn't seem possible to me. The bed bugs would have to be directly exposed to the Gentrol in order for it to be effective. Then there is the question of how effective it would be with the eggs. Any thoughts ?... Mon, 8 Mar 2010 00:00:00 PST http://www.pestweb.com/todaysquestion.cfm?id=4499 I've recently acquired both a space fogger and a space duster, but I'm not sure exactly in what circumstances I should use them. I have the capability to either dust or fog an entire crawlspace or attic, but when would this type of treatment be acceptable? ...
