tips tricks RODENTS Continued from page 96 Soft bait wont melt like petroleum based wax blocks and is applied easily to vertical or horizontal rods Soft baits mold and moisture tolerance are equal to or better than traditional wax blocks Soft bait made with vegetable oil is more environmentally friendly than wax blocks Petroleum wax comes from oil fields and ends up in landfills via rodent carcasses or discarded bait Furthermore vegetable oil biodegrades in those landfills faster than petroleum wax Not all soft baits use vegetable oil instead of petroleum wax Because all soft baits arent equal its important to research them before choosing one Consider them if you havent switched already Woodstream By Mike Goldstein Sales Manager When conducting your pest control service be as efficient and thorough as possible because time is money One easy way to achieve this is by placing a mouse glue board inside a multiplecatch mousetrap MCT There are several sound reasons for doing this First it allows for a much quicker inspection and reduced service time By placing the glue board in an MCT youre able to service and clean it quickly because the mouse carcass debris rodent hairs droppings and ectoparasites are stuck to the glue board and can be picked up and disposed of on the spot Then insert a new glue board to contain biohazards and other contaminants Always wear protective gloves when servicing and handling rodent traps By placing a glue board in an MCT you get the additional benefit of creating an industrial strength insect trap and monitor In addition to catching mice the glue board also will catch many insect pests such as cockroaches stored product pests centipedes millipedes and spiders This will alert you to other potential pest problems in the facility that will need to be addressed It might even lead to extra income if those pests arent covered under the service contract The only time when its not advisable to place a glue board in an MCT is when the environment is dusty or damp because dust and moisture will render the glue board useless quickly To catch that illusive difficult mouse place a glue board on the top of the MCT Mice easily jump and run over MCTs and some might never commit and enter By placing the glue board on top of the MCT you dont allow the mouse to investigate or come in contact with the glue surface until it jumps on top of it At that point the problem is solved We Prote c t Your Mat tress MADE IN USA Weve Got Them Covered Bed Bug Certified Mattress Box Spring Encasements Waterproof t ĿIJĮŁĵĮįĺIJ t ļĻ ĺĺIJĿĴIJĻĶİ t Fire Retardant t Bed Bug Certified Certified to be Bite Proof by Entomologist Testing t Fewer SKUs Reduced Inventory with as Few as 16 SKUs to Cover Nearly Every Mattress t ĶĴĵIJĿ 1ĿļijĶŁŀ Reduced Callbacks for Pest Management Professionals in the Field t Patented Design The Zipper with the Hook Prevents Bed Bugs from Entering or Escaping U S Patent No 7849543 And now you too Bed Bug Body Guard 3FVTBCMF OTQFDUJPO 4VJU t ļ ijļĿŁĮįĺIJ t 3IJłŀĮįĺIJ t 8ĮŀĵĮįĺIJ t 3IJıłİIJŀ ĿIJĽĺĮİIJ IJĻŁ İļŀŁ t ĿIJĮŁĵĮįĺIJ ŀļijŁ ijĮįĿĶİ t 1ĿļŃĶıIJŀ Į IJŁĵļı ijļĿ ıIJŁIJİŁĶļĻ ļij įIJı įłĴŀ t Ķıŀ ĶĻ ĽĿIJŃIJĻŁĶĻĴ įIJı įłĴŀ ijĿļ ĵĶŁİĵ ĵĶĸĶĻĴ t ĮłĻıĿņ4ĮijIJ ĻİĮŀIJ IJĻŁ ĻİĺłıIJı ijļĿ 8ĮŀĵĶĻĴ ŗ 4ŁļĿĮĴIJ ĮŁŁĿIJŀŀ 4ĮijIJ Ļİ t 1 0 ļŅ ƊƊƎƏ t ł ĶĻĴ ƋƈƈƊƐ 1ĵ ƏƏƈ Ɗƈƍ ƍƋƋƍ t ńńń ĮŁŁĿIJŀŀ4ĮijIJ İļ t ĮŅ ƏƏƈ Ɗƈƍ ƍƋƊƊ 100 September 2013 Pest Management Professional www mypmp net
