Large Animal Pest?! Trapping Suggestions....
The following tips should be used when preparing to live catch your nuisance animal.
Havahart® recommends that you contact the Humane Society, or the local or state game commission before setting a trap to determine the lawful method of releasing a captured wild or nuisance animal. Many species are protected by law in various states.
Following the instructions contained in the carton, you may want to test the trap and spring it a few times to make sure that it works properly. For example, spring it by touching the trip plate from each end, This should be done also after the trap has been set and camouflaged to make sure it works freely. If you feel the doors do not work fast enough, place small stones or other weights on top of the door. This will cause doors to drop faster.
When you receive the trap it will be bright and new. Therefore do not be discouraged in case you do not catch what you anticipated the first night or day. The effectiveness of Havahart® traps usually improve with age. Some animals do not mind a new trap while others do. So instead of setting the trap to catch the first animal to come along, bait the trap, or simply place it where you intend to set it and fasten the doors open by means of a stick or wire.
After a couple of days, when you notice the bait has been disturbed or taken, it is time to set the trap. Camouflaging the trap is an effective means to entice the animal. Place twigs and leaves all over the trap to remove a lot of the glare from the trap. You can even spray it with water and throw dirt on it to give it a conditioned look. Animals will not be discouraged from entering the trap by the smell of your handling the trap or from supposed machine/oil odors in the manufacturing process
Top Trapping Tips
Check traps often and be aware of the weather. Trapped animals should not be left out in the elements as they can die from prolonged exposure to heat and cold.
Check traps FREQUENTLY. Wild animals stress easily and may seriously injure themselves as they attempt to escape.
If you trap a no target animal you should contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your state for releasing advice.
Depending on the time of year, check to see if you have trapped a nursing mother, tip the trap over to see her belly. Babies will not survive without mother.
Traps should be washed, disinfected with a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts of water and let it remain on for 20 minutes), and thoroughly rinsed after each capture to stop the spread of any potential disease.

No Harm, No Fowl, Bird Repellent at ePestSolutions!
PiGNX Bio-Repellent Products utilize Capsaicin (Hot Peppers) as the active ingredient.
Capsaicin works by irritating nerve-endings. Imagine the irritation one feels by eating hot chili peppers or by rubbing these peppers on the skin.
This is the same effect birds and animals feel when they encounter the Bio-Repellent products.
Capsaicin has been proven to repel thousands of pests for hundreds of years.
PiGNX has finally developed the unique delivery system to make the Capsaicin Effective, Safe, Long-Lasting , Easy to Apply and Easy to Clean.
Bio-Repellent products must be applied in at least a ½ inch thick bead. Applications differ with the target pest but, with every pest, it is always best to apply a thick bead to ensure the target pest comes in contact with enough product to stick to it.
The other reason for this thick application is, with heavy infestations, the product can be carried away on the pest. Please read application instruction for each individual product.
What are Bio-Repellents?
Bio-Repellents are a revolutionary new method of controlling pests that use New Technology Food-Grade ingredients along with old-world active ingredients to repel pests, rather than harming them.

Kill Flies in 60 Seconds or Less!
Maxforce Fly Spot Bait Leaves Flies Dead in 60 Seconds or Less.
With Maxforce Fly Spot Bait, DIY pest conrollers can offer superior fly control in a variety of settings that previously could not be treated with fly baits, including commercial dining rooms, outside homes and around pet areas.
Maxforce Fly Spot Bait draws flies with powerful attractants combined with the active ingredient imidacloprid, which kills flies in 60 seconds or less. Maxforce Fly Spot Bait can be sprayed or painted onto surfaces to provide up to six weeks of control indoors and up to 14 days when applied around the outside of residences or commercial buildings. Additionally, the bait contains Bitrex*, a bittering agent designed to minimize ingestion by non-target animals.
“It was amazing,” says Larry Plecha, president of Biotec of New Mexico. “I actually started keeping track of the time that passed until I started to see results, and it was 60 seconds. The active ingredient, imidacloprid, provided really fast results. One hour later after I began the service, I counted dozens of dead flies.”
Maxforce Fly Spot Bait can be used alone or in combination with Maxforce Granular Fly Bait to enhance your fly control program.
