How to Control Stink Bugs in Your Home

The annual stink bug race is on and stopping them before they make it inside your home is the best chance a homeowner will have to limited their home invasion. These are brown marmorated stink bugs, and they are native to Asia. The stink bug supposedly originated in a shipment of goods at a Walmart store in Pennsylvania sometime before 1998. They were first recorded in Lynchburg in 2005. Now they are in 33 states.
They only want to over-winter inside your home. These Stink bugs will find any entrance they can to gain access to your home. They are simply looking for a warm spot to hang out for the winter.
Really, the best way to control them is to prevent them from coming inside. This can be done by filling all your cracks and crevices that the stink bugs can gain access to, windows, door jams, weep holes, etc. Plug up any utility pipes with silicone caulk and by screening attic and crawl space vents. If your doors and windows are not covered by tight-fitting screens, keep them shut. Seal your house up as tight as possible.
The next step to is to apply an insecticides spray on the exterior of your house. This may will help control stink bugs but it needs to be applied when the bugs first appear or right before a drop in temperature. Do a good perimeter treatment with something like Talstar. You will want to focus on all the areas that we just recommended creating a tight seal with, such as doors, windows and attic vents. Using Talstar should give you a good amount of control; they will come in contact with the chemical as they try to make entry into your home.
Using a vacuum cleaner for stink bugs that do make it inside is a low cost effective method of control. For some homeowners this is not an option as the population is so extensive, using a aerosol pyrethrin like PT 565 is a good option to spray directly on the stink bugs for a quick kill.
Remember to be thorough with your inspections of the entry points, and when perimeter spraying using a residual insecticide. Treating before the stink bug is urged to seek shelter inside your home for the winter is the key to keeping your home stink bug free!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I encase just the mattress?

While encasing just the mattress will offer superior sanitation protection, encasing the mattress alone will not help with a bed bug infestation. In fact, most of a bed bug infestation will be present in the box spring, so it is always necessary to encase BOTH the mattress and the box spring.

Are the encasements washable?

Absolutely! Protect-A-Bed's encasements can be machine washed and dried. It is important to note that when washing the encasements, DO NOT use bleach or any form of bleach alternative. Also, when drying the encasements make sure the zipper is fully closed, the encasement is dried with other towels and linens, and that the setting of the dryer is on MEDIUM. NOTE: Only remove the encasements to wash in a PRE-INFESTATlON setting. Never remove the encasements in a POST-INFESTATION setting . Can I use chemicals on the mattress prior to encasing them? All commerically available chemicals can be used prior to encasing the bedding. However, allow the chemical agent to sufficiently dry before covering the bedding.

Primo Steam Cleaner for Killing Bed Bugs!

PRIMO... The Italian word for “First” is the basis of Vapamore's philosophy. The MR-100 Primo is the first steamer of its kind. We listened to our customers and developed the all new Primo from the ground up to included all the innovations and features you requested. Our Primo philosophy applies to every aspect of Vapamore’s dedication to customer satisfaction, such as a full Lifetime Warranty and the highest level of Customer Service possible. Vapamore is the first choice in quality steam cleaning products.

The Vapamore MR-100 Primo produces steam with an output temperature between 210¢ª to 220¢ª degrees. Pests such as bedbugs, dust mites and other allergens along with their eggs are killed on contact at a temperature of 180¢ª degrees. Using steam is an extremely effective and chemical free way to kill these pests along with E. Coli, Salmonella, H1N1 and other bacteria or viruses without leaving any harmful chemical residue behind. The tools supplied with the Vapamore MR-100 Primo allow you to treat all areas where these pests can hide such as bedding, sofas, furniture, pillows, carpet, cracks and crevices that are ideal hiding places for pests.

The clothes / fabric tool with the cotton cover is ideal for treating bedding, furniture, pillows, and carpet areas around bed posts and base boards. Start by installing the supplied cotton cover on the clothes - fabric / smooth surface tool. Apply light consistent pressure and slowly pass it along the surface (1¡± per second) to insure the area being treated has a chance to come to full temperature killing pests and their eggs.

The floor cleaning head with micro fiber cover is also great for treating large surface areas such as bedding, furniture, and carpet areas. Start by installing the supplied micro fiber cover on the floor cleaning head. The micro fiber cover thermal core maintains full temperature during use and allows the floor cleaning head to glide over fabric or carpet.



Apply light consistent pressure and slowly pass it along the surface (1¡¯¡¯ per second) to insure the area being treated has a chance to come to full temperature killing pests and their eggs.

The detail adaptor can also be used on its own as a straight jet nozzle tool or along with the 90 degree jet nozzle attachment. These tools are great for cracks and crevices. Make sure to concentrate the steam directly on the area to be treated with as minimal distance as possible, no more than 1¡¯¡¯ away. The steam will condense and cool off and not be effective to kill pests and their eggs if the jet tip is not directly on the surface being treated. The detail adaptor can be attached directly to the steam gun or to any of the extension tubes.

•Manufacturer: Control Solutions


How To Apply Taurus SC for Controlling Termites

Apply at a rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth, this is the standar mixture rate for termiticides.

When you are doing a termite treatment of the outer perimeter of a structure it is a matter of treating all of the soil as close to the structure. You will want to simply dig a small trench against the foundation of the home. It should be 6 inches wide and 6 inches deep for the appropriate size trench to apply the Taurus SC. Then apply your termiticide into the trench at the rate of 4 gallons of diluted chemical per 10 linear feet.



This can become a little more difficult if you have a slab that comes all the way up to the foundation of the house where you want to treat with your termiticide. The most common are garages, porches, and patios. It is recommended that you drill through the concrete in order to access and treat the soil. The drill holes should be no farther apart than 12 inches and should be within 6 inches of the foundation. Use a 1/2 inch diameter drill bit that is specific for concrete. ½ holes are small enough to drill fairly easily, yet large enough to allow the chemical to pass through quickly. Use a 18 inch drill bit and you may want to rent a rotary drill for the day to make this job go easier.

Apply the chemical though the holes that you drilled with a slab injector or other suitable method. The application rate is the same as when you applied to the trench 4 gallons of termite chemical (diluted) per 10 linear feet. If your drill holes are 12 inches apart then you should use 4/10 gallon per hole. After treating the holes seal them with Trebor ½ inch plugs. Trebor plugs are easy to put in and can be removed for retreats.



For most applications, use the 0.06% (.8 fluid oz) dilution and apply at a rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. For example, for treatment of 10 linear feet with a four-foot depth, use 4 x 4 (16) gallons per 10 linear feet. Do not apply at a concentration less than 0.06%. Use the higher concentrations (0.09% or 0.125%) in areas with severe termite pressure or existing infestations. Apply the higher concentration at a rate of 4 gallons of solution per 10 linear feet per foot of 4 - depth. For example, for treatment of 10 linear feet with a four-foot depth, use 16 (4 x 4) gallons per 10 linear feet. In dense soil that will not accept a volume of 4 gallons per linear foot per foot of depth, use the 0.125% dilution, and apply at a rate of 2 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. For example, for treatment of 10 linear feet with a four-foot depth, use 8 (2 x 4) gallons per 10 linear feet. When using the lower volume of application, be careful to maintain a continuous treated zone. If application requires drilling, drill holes less than 12" apart to maintain a continuous treated zone

How Taurus SC works for Ants

Taurus SC is an excellent insecticide for ant control because of its non-repelling chemical structure. You will want to mix 0.8 oz of Taurus SC termiticide insecticide per 1 gallon of water in a pump sprayer. By spraying around the house in a band pattern that goes 1 ft up the side of your house and 1 ft out from the house. Using the Taurus mixture in this way will be setting up a great ant perimeter treatment. Make sure to remove vegetation that may be touching the house so the ants and other pests won't be able to bypass the treatment.

Other areas of spray would be more entry points such as : doors (don't spray near door handles), windows, pipes, cracks, vents, holes, etc. Make sure to treat the joint where exterior siding (wood, vinyl, aluminum or other similar materials) meets the cement, brick or block foundation. Treat anywhere electrical, cable or telephone wires enter the house.

Always follow the product label according as these are recommendation. You may only apply Taurus SC twice a year according to label instructions. Spring and Fall season are typically the most active times of the year for ants and would be the recommended application times to control and prevent ant infestations.

Perimeter Pest Treatment:



•TAURUS SC is not a knockdown agent and will not kill on contact

How to Mix your Taurus for Perimeter Pest Treatment

For a perimeter pest control treatments mix a 0.06% spray dilution of TAURUS SC by filling the treatment tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with water, then add 0.8 fluid ounces of TAURUS SC.

The filling hose must be equipped with an anti-backflow device or the water flow must include an air gap to protect against back siphoning. Add more water to the tank while agitating to 1 gallon of finished dilution.

Apply 0.06% of finished TAURUS SC dilution as a low-pressure spray to the exterior of the structure where listed pests enter, trail around the structure or where they crawl and hide. Also apply around any exterior openings where listed pests could enter the structure such as around doors, windows, vents, pipes, foundation cracks or drilled holes. Make sure to treat the joint where exterior siding (wood, vinyl, aluminum or other similar materials) meets the cement, brick or block foundation. Treat anywhere electrical, cable or telephone wires that enter the house. This Taurus SC treatment should be made as a general surface spray, crack and crevice spray, or a wall void application.

TAURUS SC may be applied as a foam treatment into wall voids to kill and / or control the above listed pests. It will require an additional foaming agent and a foaming system like the Foamer Simpson or a B&G Foamer.

Apply 2 quarts of 0.06% finished spray of TAURUS SC per 160 linear feet. Refer to the "Foam Application" section of this label for specific foam mixing and application instructions.

Except for foam applications made into wall voids, application is limited to an area 1 foot out from and 1 foot up from were the ground meets the foundation. Do not exceed a maximum of 2 applications per year.



Nests found on the ground within 1 foot of the foundation may be treated. Vegetation touching the structure may offer a route for the entry of ants into the structure without coming into contact with the treatment; therefore, remove or prune away any shrubbery, bushes, and tree branches touching the structure

•Do not apply to applications to runoff or drip from treated surfaces.
•Do not apply to boat houses, including their piers or pilings.
•Do not apply within 5 feet of wells or cisterns.
•Do not apply to French drains or other permeable drainage.
•Doors and windows adjacent to application site must be closed during surface application.
•Do not apply within 15 feet of bodies of fresh water; lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes, natural ponds and commercial fish ponds. A 15- foot buffer of uniform groundcover must exist between application zone and bodies of fresh water (uniform ground cover is defined as land which supports vegetation of greater than 2 inches in height throughout).
•Do not apply within 60 feet of estuarine bodies of water. Estuarine water bodies are brackish, tidal water bodies such as bays, mouths of rivers, salt marshes and lagoons.

Battling Bed Bugs


Bed bugs are well-adapted to living with humans. Like other successful parasites, they prefer to live near their next meal.

In the case of the nocturnal bed bug, this usually means close to where people sleep or lounge.

In recent surveys of bed bug-infested apartments, for example, more than 90 percent of the insects were found living in beds, sofas and recliners ( see “battling bed bugs in apartments, “ pct august 2006).

Disposal. The fastest way to reduce bed bug numbers is to throw out infested items. Bed bugs can be hard to eradicated from beds and upholstered furniture because so many may be present and well concealed.

Box springs, sofas and recliners are especially challenging, affording unlimited hidden harborage within inches of the host. Heavily infested or damaged mattresses, frames and headboards also may warrant disposal. Nonetheless, throwing out infested items isn’t an option for some customers and often may not be necessary.

When infested items are discarded, bagging or wrapping them prevents dislodgement of bugs en route to the dumpster.

Encasement. One good way to limit bed bug habitation of beds is encasement. See our product: Allerzip anti allergy mattress encasements. Encasing both the mattress and box spring denies them access to inner, hard-to-treat areas.

Once the Allerzip anti allergy mattress encasements cover is installed, any bed bugs which happen to be inside are entombed and eventually will die. A tight-fitting smooth outer cover also makes it easier to spot and destroy any bugs reappearing on subsequent visits. Encasement like allerzip anti allergy mattress encasements makes a lot of sense if the old infested bed is to be kept. Allerzip anti allergy mattress encasements also help protect new bed components until the current infestation is eliminated.

Allerzip anti allergy mattress encasements are the highest quality zippered bed encasements of various available. Bed bugs trapped inside will not bite through the fabric, but cheaper covers are more likely to tear during installation and use. One high quality encasement developed specifically for bed bugs was recently introduced by allerzip anti allergy mattress encasements protect-a-bed ( chicago ) . Available know thru epestsolutions.com.

ePestSolutions Bedbug Kits!

Product code: 3503 This bedbug treatment kit is good for 2-3 rooms and whole apartments. It will work with material left over for retreatments.

This pest control kit contains 1 (16 oz) Suspend, 1 (1lb) Delta Dust, 3 D-force, 3 Gentrol IGR (1 ounce bottles) and a Bellow Duster




Suspend SC Insecticide Versatile Insecticide with Long-Term Results

SUSPEND® SC Insecticide with DeltaGard offers the benefits of deltamethrin in a concentrated suspension of pure micro-crystals. The micro-crystals give Suspend SC a long residual &— instead of being absorbed into porous materials, they stay on the surface. As a result, insects continue to contact them long after the insecticide has been applied. Yet Suspend SC leaves no visible residue, has virtually no odor, and won't clog spray equipment.

Suspend SC is a versatile insecticide approved for a wide variety of uses including indoor and outdoor, residential, industrial, and institutional applications. It's even approved for use in restaurants and other places where food is manufactured, processed or served. Outdoors, it can be applied to turf grass and landscape ornamentals. It's highly effective against many important pests from ants and cockroaches to spiders, scorpions and bedbugs.


SUSPEND® SC WORKS AT LOWER CONCENTRATIONS THAN OTHER PYRETHROIDS. HERE’S WHY.

Suspend SC is a premium, high-grade formulation that contains deltamethrin, a third-generation pyrethroid (man-made version of pyrethrum, the natural insecticide produced by chrysanthemums.) It’s different from older pyrethroids because it’s a single, pure isomer, so it’s 100% active and has the maximum power to kill insects. Recommended concentrations are flexible, too. They range from as low as 0.0015% (far lower than for most other insecticides, pyrethroids included) to as high as 0.06%.

ENCOURAGE REPEAT BUSINESS. NOT CALLBACKS.

Suspend SC is ideal for perimeters, allowing you to create a strong barrier around your customer’s home. With Suspend SC’s broad label, you get the job done the first time.

FIGHT 50+ NUISANCE PESTS.

You’re up against them all. Ticks that spread Lyme disease. Mosquitoes that spread West Nile virus. Wasps, bees and other pests that cause serious allergic reactions. Cockroaches that make asthma worse. And spiders that can leave painful, infected bites. Suspend SC controls these problematic insects, and more:

The One and Only Water Proof Dust

DeltaDust® with DeltaGard® is the world's first and only 100% waterproof insecticide dust, so it works in the wet and damp places that insects love. Nothing short of running water will disturb it, making DeltaDust an ideal crack and crevice treatment. It's effective against a broad spectrum of insects at a wide range of labeled use sites, indoors and out, especially against fleas and ticks in rodent burrows, as well as around pet kennels and in zoos. Since its effect is not diminished by moisture, DeltaDust provides a residual of up to 8 months with a DeltaGard active ingredient concentration of just 0.05% — probably the lowest of any insecticide dust anywhere.

What's more, DeltaDust is odorless, and is an economical buy — a standard 1 lb. bottle covers about 2000 sq. ft.

What's Delta Dust Controls

Ants, Bees, Bedbugs, Boxelder bugs, Carpet beetles, Cockroaches (both resistant and non-resistant strains), Crickets, Fleas Firebrats, Termites, Carpenter ants, Carpenter bees, Centipedes, Cheese mites, Cigarette beetles, Dark meal worms, Drugstore beetles, Fire ants, Grain mites, Granary weevils, Ground beetles, Lesser grain borers, Merchant grain beetles, Millipedes, Redflour beetles, Rice weevils, Rusty grain beetles, Sawtoothed grain beetles, Scorpions, Silverfish, Slugs, Sowbugs, Spiders, Spider beetles, Ticks, Tobacco moths, Wasps, Webbing clothes moths, Yellow meal worms.

DELTADUST® Application Tips:
•DeltaDust is a waterproof insecticide intended for application with a hand or power duster (Actisol® DPA or similar equipment), with a paint brush or by other suitable means, for hiding and runaway areas and other places where insects are found.
•In living areas, apply in such a manner as to avoid depositions on exposed surfaces or introducing the material into the air. In the home, all food processing surfaces and utensils should be covered during treatment or thoroughly washed before use. Exposed food should be covered or removed.
•To apply insecticide directly into cracks and crevices, use a bulbous duster or other suitable equipment. Apply lightly and uniformly to infested area. Pay particular attention to: cracks and crevices, service ducts, floors and ceilings, wall voids, around electrical and telephone fittings and equipment, around water and sewer pipes, under and behind cabinets, refrigerators and sinks, around windows and door frames, along baseboards, in attics and crawl spaces. The amount to be applied will vary with the site but should usually be in the range of 2-3 grams of DeltaDust per square yard (or 0.5 lbs per 1000 square feet).

KAPUT! Rat, Mouse and Mole bait

Kaput Rat Mouse Vole Bait - 32 Place Packs

4lb. bucket contains easy to use place packs with green grain bait and Warfarin. Kills Norway & Roof rats, house mice, voles.

Kaput Rat & Mouse Bait is a reduced-risk rodenticide that kills Norway rats, Roof rats, house mice, and voles. The bait is formulated with warfarin - a highly effective anticoagulant with very low environmental and secondary toxicity.

Because warfarin is effective against rodents at low concentrations, it is one of the active ingredients in rodenticides.

However, in cases of accidental ingestion by children or pets, Vitamin K1 is a readily available antidote.

Presented as a loose grain, Kaput Rat & Mouse Bait is packaged in two ounce place packs. Rodents readily accept the bait as a food source because it mimics the grains and seeds that they naturally consume.

The convenient packaging ensures easy application of the bait in appropriate quantities according to your specific needs. The bait can be placed as a whole, unopened package (the specialized design of the packaging material allows the rodent to smell the bait and gnaw through the pack to access it) or as portions if smaller applications are required.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATION*:

For best performance, remove other food sources from the area.
  • Rats: Apply 2-8 packs per placement in intervals of 15 to 30 feet along infested areas. Maintain bait supply for 10 days.
  • Mice: Apply ½ oz bait per placement (or entire package in highly infested areas) in intervals of 8 to 12 feet. Maintain bait supply for 15 days.
  • Moles: Apply directly to burrows or runways and cover well to prevent non-target exposure. Maintain bait supply for 15 days.



* Use tamper-resistant bait stations when children, pets, or non-target wildlife are present.
