In case briostack is reading theis, i contacted briostack, i wanted to know if the software would submit usage reports to the NYSDEC which it doesn't. That would be one feature alone i would use it for.
Don't do this you'll have a bunch of dead mice in your crawl space, seal up everything set actual rodent traps in one area and remove them until you don't catch anymore, then seal that area boom your are rodent free and won't have to worry about another infestation or dead rodent smells.
Hi Dan, I have an important question. I will be sure to contact my local pest control, but honestly would love your opinion and knowledge. My house currently has a brown recluse infestation. I noticed the first one almost a month ago. I called pest control (Orkin) and talked to their techs. In the meantime I immediately bought a bunch of glue boards amd set them all over my house. The technician came and sprayed inside and outside my house. A week and a half later, I daresay the problem seems worse. They're still definitely all over the place, I caught 9 brown recluse under a small dresser in my bedroom. Here's my problem...maybe that increase at first is normal, but my technician told me nothing on what to expect AFTER treatment, if anything. If it stays the same, increase or decrease...would have been nice to just have that explained and I wish I had asked. Is it normal for brown recluse to be more seen after initial first treatment? Im going to end up paying over 600$ to get this problem under control (7 months of treatments about every 2 months) is the increase in spiders seen around normal? Im very concerned. I've two young children and this problem is extremely unsettling. I haven't slept well at night ever since all those started.
My concern with the poison would be that they die in their nest and stink. I would rather live trap them and relocate them. Mice don’t get afraid of these live traps
Dan i had a customer with a mouse stuck behind a fridge i had a glueboard in my hand and it ran out i slide the board in front of the mouse and caught it in front of them 😆 looked like a boss. I also had a smart rat i couldnt get in traps . I saw its ass sticking out a hole trying to get into the wall , i pulled it out by the tail and threw it on a giant rat glueboard.
Just for your info, in North America you can't use any Second Generation Rodenticides to deal with Rats or mice. you must first try other methods such as First Generation Rodenticides, snap traps, live traps and exclusion work. then you may use Second Generation Rodenticides.

Out of professional curiosity, I've seen quite of few american pest tech using contrac and no other bait does other bell products works over there like ditrac for a example? Because ditrac over here in Australia works like a charm but when it comes to contrac I've only found that the soft baits works. Love your videos dude keep up the great work
Usually, mice are so small that it's not an issue. Like Dan said, the quickest way is baits. I usually tell customers it's like tearing off a bandaid. It sucks but it's best to get it over with fast. If it was rats, I'd start with traps. They will smell bad .
Putting bait in the crawl space when there's no actual infestation will just attract more rodents. In Canada we are also no longer allowed to use Contrac bloc bait due to cross contamination between poisoned rodents and predator birds. Use strategic trapping for success in taking down numbers, then fix the dang house so they can't get under and can't get in.
There's always more than one way to do things. As a pest company, baiting is much more efficient usage of resources for the price people want to pay. If someone is willing to pay more then exclusion and trapping are great options as well.
Dan do you use an electric backpack sprayer? If not get one Also I saw you hand spreading bifen in your last video do yourself a favor and get either a Ryobi electric spreader or a Solo chest spreader I’ve had both and both are great
hey Dan idk it might make sense to suggest insulation removal then spray foam ? costly yes but they have already destroyed much of the r rating with their tunnels. don't think they would have interest in spray foam but you tell me
I’ve Always Used Contrac Bait Blocks And Packs. Did a lot Rodent Treatment. 👍Never Liked Going Under Crawl Spaces. No it’s Not Against The Law Baiting. As Longest You Use A Rodent Secured Box For Crawl Spaces Are Is Secured Around The House. Ive Baited Attics As Well.👍❤️
@BabyGirlRaven I'm also a pest control technician. But yeah it's crazy he's not using a bait box. Any animal can just roll in there and eat the bait blocks and die.
Now that you have a significant other maybe paying closer attention to safety is in order! Fiberglass insulation is exactly what it says fiber glass so breathing those loose fibers into your lungs is definitely not a good idea!
I stopped using the glue boards because it’s inhumane since the mice don’t die instantly as they do in a snap trap. As much as I don’t want mice inside my house I’m not going to give them a cruel death.
No they’re not, they’re incredibly dangerous and inhumane. People have had pets die in them and the animals stuffer for a long time. If you don’t care about the animals then they also make a mess that can be very hard to clean
The holes in chicken wire are too large maybe harware cloth. Best to stop them from getting iside in the first place. Or use ipm to clean up yards and decoys likenplastic owls to make it less inviting for mice in the first place. If it's a constant issue, you can use bait boxes outside to knock down the population
@@DanTheBugMan I know it is more work, but in the long run, it would be worth it. Also, once you have the chicken wire up or some thing with a smaller grate, you can spray flex and seal on it. I don’t think the mice would be able to chew through that as well. It’s also very effective for rats. The way their situation is now is that all there insulation is on the ground. If not now, in time it will all be destroyed. take care, enjoy your videos, as I learn a lot….Susan from Canada 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
TRY Briostack Pest Control Software Here: go.briostack.com/dan-the-bug-man

Dan do you do sc for roaches
That software is a BILLION times better than the crappy software we had to use.
Don't do this you'll have a bunch of dead mice in your crawl space, seal up everything set actual rodent traps in one area and remove them until you don't catch anymore, then seal that area boom your are rodent free and won't have to worry about another infestation or dead rodent smells.
Building your house in the middle of the forest may be beautiful, but it comes with some unwanted visitors
Contract blocks are nice outside, i preder soft baits inside resolve or first strike.
Shouldn’t bait be put in a station so other wildlife/pets/humans can’t get to it easily?
Yes.
Also labeled.
And makes it easier to clean up / remove when the insects get to it.

In a crawl space?

Awesome video and information. Your knowledge is incredible. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful! :)

Holy crap that’s legit 😎 I would never grab a rat like that hahaha and good aim/plan with the glue board. Impressive
@DanTheBugMan i didn't think the rat was coming out in her kitchen, and she was calling me crying everyday, when i saw it, i just reacted
@DanTheBugMan i have stories. i wish i filmed like you do. Rats caught by their tails in traps, thats fun, lol. Exterminating in NYC is an adventure.

Bro your an incredible BLESSING.....I can just hear all the Pest control companies CRYING for telling us what to do😂👍
Why is it that people think just because someone makes a video and puts it on RUclips that it automatically makes them good at their job?
@@Bellthorian
Yes!!!
So sorry this kid is exposing the business of pest control.
We just want to save money and stop getting raped by you guys over BS
@@Bellthorianyou just a player hater.
It would be soo dope if you did a video with Twin Home Experts ❤

Honest question as I'm dealing with a similar issue... if the house smells like mice... what's it going to smell like when they die in the crawlspace?
Usually, mice are so small that it's not an issue. Like Dan said, the quickest way is baits. I usually tell customers it's like tearing off a bandaid. It sucks but it's best to get it over with fast.
If it was rats, I'd start with traps. They will smell bad .
It may smell worse before it gets better but that’s just part of the process. Replacing the insulation will help too!
So they eat the bait and just die inside the wall? Why no snap traps?
Putting bait in the crawl space when there's no actual infestation will just attract more rodents. In Canada we are also no longer allowed to use Contrac bloc bait due to cross contamination between poisoned rodents and predator birds. Use strategic trapping for success in taking down numbers, then fix the dang house so they can't get under and can't get in.

I’ve had both and both are great
Yes I love electric backpack sprayers! And I’ll have to look up the spreaders. Thanks!!
@@DanTheBugMan which backpack sprayer tho? Flowzone? Birchmier?
Please wear coveralls or something! Crawling in your clothes makes me nervous!
Where I work they tell us not to put the bait in the interior at all because it can die inside the home and leave a very foul smell
hi dan im a new subsciber of ur channal u do great work 😃
hey Dan idk it might make sense to suggest insulation removal then spray foam ? costly yes but they have already destroyed much of the r rating with their tunnels. don't think they would have interest in spray foam but you tell me
the mice that is
What type of gloves do you use in this video for your rodent control?
I have a random question would you rather have your house infested by roaches or fleas and why?
I wish you were in michigam

What do mice spell like I have no idea you cld smell them
Great videos!
Thanks!
Now that you have a significant other maybe paying closer attention to safety is in order! Fiberglass insulation is exactly what it says fiber glass so breathing those loose fibers into your lungs is definitely not a good idea!
Obviously when the baits are eaten and the mice are gone. How many years does one wait to reapply the baits to keep other mice from returning????
yo dan could you pls make a video about fruit flies theyve been in my kitchen for months now and im going insane
Do you tell your customers you are a RUclipsr and allow you to film in their home?
Was wondering this too.
Yes he does.
Haha yes! But I usually say something like I’m do training and marketing videos and ask if it’s okay to film. Everyone is always okay with it
@@DanTheBugMan that’s awesome. Some people get so embarrassed by their situation especially if it’s bad.
Great information! But honestly, I would watch this video on mute. You're just so interesting to watch.. ahem... 😉
Hahaha hey I understand
@@DanTheBugMan yeah I agree ha! although I dont mind listening to your voice talking lol...defff great eye candy 😜
Especially this POV. 😉
Live mice traps dump them in the bush miles away 🐁✨
You’re dreaming 😂
Its physically impossible to catch every mouse, live, and release them.
Smell mice?
Dog gets underneath the house and eats the contract baits and dies.
you should have a show on discovery channel.
I couldn’t face all the spiders for the sake of a few mice. Gimme the mice any day 🥺
A world without either would be ideal
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
Where my prize at
sticky traps are good because mice are fast and these catch that clever mice that out smarts traps and poisons
I’ve had mixed experiences with glue boards! I usually don’t use them for mice
I stopped using the glue boards because it’s inhumane since the mice don’t die instantly as they do in a snap trap. As much as I don’t want mice inside my house I’m not going to give them a cruel death.

So a long painful death, rotting mice in the walls and killing all the predators(owls, cats, foxes,ex)in the area along with
Cool.
Unsubscribing.
15:30 🤦♀️
Dramatic
Eww Dan wear a long sleeve shirt under there
Couldn’t the owners put up sheets of chicken wire with screws so the the mice could not get into the insulation?
The holes in chicken wire are too large maybe harware cloth. Best to stop them from getting iside in the first place. Or use ipm to clean up yards and decoys likenplastic owls to make it less inviting for mice in the first place. If it's a constant issue, you can use bait boxes outside to knock down the population
Good idea but that’s a lot of work and the mice could still get around or through it
@@DanTheBugMan I know it is more work, but in the long run, it would be worth it. Also, once you have the chicken wire up or some thing with a smaller grate, you can spray flex and seal on it.
