What’s up everybody, we back again? How you doing? I’m good, man. All right, man. Well, we’re here to talk again. Do you see our new logo, harpoon pest podcast, we’re very excited. Again, this is all brand new stuff. But uh, this is our second episode. And today we’re going to just talk about, since it’s wintertime, and right now it’s like 20 degrees outside got a nor’easter supposed to be this weekend. But um, we want to talk about mics, because we get a lot of calls in the winter time. On mice, we also want to talk about pest control businesses, what they doing in the wintertime, what should we be going into, when at times is all about when the phone rang, waiting for the phone to ring? You know what I mean? So that’s what we’re gonna talk about. Q, I’m gonna just start it off by saying mice is a serious issue in wintertime. Um, you know, we have a lot of customers that call and get an increase in mice. And let’s face it, these these houses are clean. They’re they’re not dirty houses. They’re, they’re well kept. But there’s a serious issue. Have you noticed that?

Yeah, yeah, for sure. Um, it’s just one of them things that happens on just this time of year, especially once the temperatures start to, you know, go down. And in the late fall, going into the, into the winter, whenever you had was freezing temps, it just pushes the mice inside. So it almost doesn’t matter. Like we see a lot of we get a lot of calls and some older neighborhoods. Whether it be part some parts of West Philadelphia lands down some parts of Delaware County, some of these neighborhoods, almost 100 years old, some of the homes a little older, and even some new construction, you know, the winter, the winter time was just brutal on on homes, you know, and then pushes the mice around, right pushes it from one house to the other. So that happened. So that’s that’s one of the that’s one of the reasons you see a big increase. Yeah, a lot of people

that’s in Philadelphia, in living in connected homes, they think that they get a single detached home, that problem will go away. Now, granted, it may be better, um, you know, connected homes, they just have real issues with rodents, especially ones that got new drywall in them. If they can just hear those mice running through that red brick. No, they’re connected, red brick. There’s no mortar and a brick and mortar and I ran out because the houses are so old. And then these messages running through these holes of connected home. So no, it’s a pain is a real pain. We do have ways of doing what’s called roading control, you can know is a lie to say especially if you got you know, 20 blocks 20 houses on a square block on one feet on one side of a block. You’d be lying if you say I’m gonna get rid of your mice, because in the wintertime, they’re just running from other connected homes. So but there is ways to get control of mites. The key word is control. So, but you’re right out here in the counties. I live in the counties you live in the counties. We have field mice, you got to field my session, you know, and they’re a little little they look a little different.

Thanks so cute. They got the white furry belly on Oh,

yeah, yeah, yeah. So good. But these houses these county houses got problems too. I mean, they come in on the ground. That dirt going in your attic. Big time, you know, so you need they need rotary control to another thing I wanted to say about my situation. You know, you’ll hear customers say I’ve never had this problem in the past, and that they’re telling the truth. One of the things that we’ve noticed is there’s a lot of new construction going on. Yes. And when these these bulldozers digging up this ground, they are they are rustling
