Today we are going to talk about fogging and bombing for cockroaches, bedbugs and fleas. And if it works, because is, as extermely isn’t burning, you notice like, because you take the phones that are at our company, a lot like myself will will get people on the phone. And they’ll ask us if we bomb or fog for bedbugs or for fleas or cockroaches. Or, or they’ll tell us that they have been bombing, fogging, you know, trying to get rid of their their own problems. So today, we’re just gonna talk about, you know, the pros and cons to to doing it, you know, to using those. Those foggers and those bomb, you know, those bombs? And in our experience, they were what have you found burned? I know, I know, you’ve talked to a lot of our customers, you know, they call up and they tell us that they’ve been they’ve been trying different things that they’ve gotten from like, you know, some of the big box hardware stores or some someplace local and what are you? What’s your experience with that?

Well, first of all, most persons don’t even think that they can tackle it on their own. But you know, the local hardware stores, and we talk about these national hardware stores, they put this stuff right soon as you walk in. So when you walk into these places, for light bulbs or paint, or you’re there for something completely different, you see, you know, bedbug bottles, gallons of bottles and flee this and Roach that the foggers and bombs and things of that nature. So, you know, you know you’re having that problem, and you plan on calling someone to get rid of it. But you say, Hey, let me just try this out. I mean, it might save me I mean, you know, the fogger box costs 12 bucks, you know, and you know, you got roaches running around and you say well, let me at least try it to see if it works. And so it’s nothing wrong with that, you know, these hot shots in these D coms and all these other companies. But the problem is, is that it isn’t really not a serious problem with the customer trying it. But the problem is, is that, you know, millions of customers are trying this stuff, and it just don’t work. And the companies are making billions of dollars off of it. Because the person says, let me just give it a shot. What’s 12 bucks was 1999 You know what I mean? Yeah, oh, uh, the majority of time, it doesn’t work. In a minute, I’ll give a personal experience that I had with bedbugs at a previous property that I used to live it but um, I found that it doesn’t work. This is before I got into pest control this stuff, just don’t have the strength. And you actually commented on that when I was living at my previous household where we got bedbugs. Um, some years back when you read the packaging, on what we were trying to use, it was a spray bottle. You remember that?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you read the you read the packaging on it. And you you found that certain chemicals that this these products were using just wasn’t strong enough? Yeah. And here’s the thing. And this is really important for those who buy, he’s going to do a whole separate podcast on buying over the counter products. Over the counter pest control products is like over the counter drugs. It’s like aspirin. So if I got a broken arm, right, and I mean it is killing me. Aspirin just ain’t gonna get it done. You know, if I, if I got any kind of serious, acute, you know, extreme pain. Excedrin is just not gonna get it done. I need, you know, a prescription. Something that I cannot get just off the shelf at your local Rite Aid or CVS, right. It’s a lot the same for pet products. There’s just certain products that really work that you cannot buy off the shelf, because you do not have the license or the expertise to use it. It’s the same thing, you know, it’s the same thing. So, that’s the difference.
