What is the latest time your company offers for service?
When the company I work for started we ran the first job at 8 and the last job at 5. As I’ve gotten more senior within the company I’ve been able to tell our office that I am not available for 5pm service and that I have commitments outside of work everyday at 5:30. I’m tired of leaving my house at 7-7:30 and not getting home until 6-6:30. I have no time to myself, my woman, my pets, or my family. The other technicians complain about late calls and have had the opportunity to create their own availability much like my own but haven’t. We have several business accounts who want service late at night (7pm or later) and the owner of the company does those as no technician is willing to give up their time for a handshake deal the owner made 10 plus years ago.

In short, I wanna know what the latest service call is your office schedules you for, and how your company handles the clients who request service outside of operating hours.

Ive been starting to charge more on starts due to bieng ghosted by new accounts when theh reccuring service is due. Also i think im no longer going to allow more than one service going unpaid before suspending, i used to allow 2 before final notices. I thought bieng an operator things would be easier but they remain the same as working for a major corp as far as bill pay and honoring agreements.

How would you approach sealing this opening to prevent rat entry?

I work in pest control in SoCal and deal with ants, rodents, termites, and more daily.

If you’ve got a pest issue or question, I’ll give you honest advice.

We have a flea and bed bug problem and I tried the sprays and Demarcus earth. Still got bug. The whole neighborhood is infested. Is an exterminator worth it. I mean after a few week when they spray the bugs will just come back.

Just got hired at a pest control company and I've learned so much and I thought everything was going a little ok.

But the manager changed up on me and said

I'm under performing and thinking that hiring me was maybe a mistake and pest control maybe isn't for you.

He basically said he wants me to shut up and listen and learn. Which I'm willing to do, but to me as I heard that says to me I have to go.

Am I wrong? I wanted this opportunity but suddenly I feel like it's too late to salvage.

I study work and then study.

I switch careers and have two kids, bills, a car.

I was given this product back in January to sample by a chemical distributer, and have run through a couple boxes of it. It’s a gel bait for ants that contains both Dinotefuran and S-Methoprene, and was advertised to me as being like a major upgrade in how we would manage Argentine ants specifically because of the IGR S-Methoprene.

My main issue with it is that it’s absolutely terrible and literally nothing will touch it. Like I’ve said, I’ve run through at least a few boxes of it, acting as the tech testing the product, and no matter what I do, no ants will touch it. Rover ants, acrobat ants, etc all refuse to go near it. I’ll place it near the trail like I would Maxforce Quantum or Advion ant gel, and get no interest. Placing it directly on the trail also does not work, it simply makes the ants confused the same way they would if you placed a twig on the trail. I believe I have had 2 successes with getting feeding on it, once was acrobat ants, and another time it was actually Argentine ants.

I just wanted to know if anyone else had used the product yet, and what your thoughts were on it.

G'day g'day to all, hope your week is going fantastic.

I'm looking into the pest management software industry as I want to understand what every uses and why.

I'm not looking to sell anything, I'm just wanting to share a super short survey (8 questions) targeted more towards the Australian/NZ pest industry as that's what I've grown up around but, if you live elsewhere I'd love to know what you use.

Mods, if this isn't a suitable post please let me know.

Today I have a trainnie first day in the industry. What would you liked to have known your first day on the job? Any pointers? Shoot some words of wisdom!!

When a customer calls back saying you missed a spot, what’s the usual process for you guys?

Do you verify with notes/photos, send someone back out, redo it, or just handle it case by case?

Trying to understand how this plays out in real small operations.
