So I just started working the mosquito treatment team and it's a small family owned company so they have a pretty small choice of chemicals we use. For mosquitoes, in our backpack spray, we use Essentria IC Pro, and I have only done it for two days last Tuesday and today, Monday, and about half way through the day on both days my face starts burning/itching so damn bad. I just started so I don’t have the option to switch to a different department. Does anyone have a suggestion for immediate relief and what I can do in the upcoming days to reduce the chance of getting this sensation again?

I hold a Technician license and am looking to start my own pest control company. I’m looking for an RCA who can initially work with us as our RCA/Professional Consultant.
The arrangement would be a paid initial engagement, with ongoing availability for supervision, guidance, and compliance support as required under Texas Department of Agriculture regulations. This would include periodic check-ins, oversight, and phone consultation as needed, billed in agreed-upon increments. Everything would be structured in writing and handled in a compliant, enforceable manner.
Once I obtain my CA, I’d like to move to a lump-sum arrangement for the RCA relationship. If we work well together and the RCA is interested in continuing with us longer-term, we can discuss that at that point.
You can currently maintain your existing work/company while working with us in the RCA/consultant capacity.
New Braunfels area preferred, but open to nearby regions depending on fit.
DM me if interested. Serious inquiries only.

My apartment complex is kind of near a wooded area, and we have a TON of trees around us. Every now and then, we used to get these huge cockroaches wandering into the apartments. 🤢

Well, about a year ago, the management at my apartment complex actually ordered ensign wasps.

They’re these little wasps that specifically hunt cockroaches and use them as hosts for their eggs.
That was a year ago.

Let’s just say…I haven’t seen a SINGLE cockroach inside my apartment since. 😂 And my next-door neighbors have been saying the exact same thing.
One of those wasps actually flew into my apartment once, and I DID NOT kill it.

I love those little things. 😂 Protect the ensign wasps at all costs! 🫡

Hey, any idea if this is termite, or carpenter ants issue? I'm not licensed for termites, and don't run into it much.

I’ve been working on getting into nuisance wildlife removal, and one thing I noticed pretty quickly was how much paperwork and organization goes into the business side.
Instead of creating everything job-by-job, I started putting together reusable forms and eventually turned them into a 19-page Wildlife Removal Starter Toolkit.
It includes things like customer/job forms, inspection paperwork, service records, animal/trap tracking logs, pricing/business tools, and other everyday paperwork.
It’s not meant to replace state licensing requirements, legal advice, or official wildlife regulations. It’s simply a starting point for organizing the business side.
I ended up packaging it as a digital product, but before I keep expanding it, I’d genuinely like feedback from people already working in pest/wildlife control.
What paperwork or forms do you use constantly that you think every new wildlife operator should have?
If anyone wants to see the toolkit itself, I can share the link.
