Preferred Products We Use:

• Delta Dust
• Temprid FX
• Gotcha Sprayer

How to handle initial service?

• Exterior:
  • Inspect for carpenter bee nesting areas. Look for sawdust, carpenter bee holes and yellow residue from bee pollen and excrement
  • Apply Delta Dust to voids or channels/holes in damaged wood. Also apply in between wood and structure of house
  • Use Gotcha extension pole or ladder for harder to reach places
  • Apply Temprid FX directly into carpenter bee holes.
  • For large affected areas can do a residual spray treatment using Talstar P or Temprid FX. Spray liberally into hiding and breeding places, especially under attic rafters.

Why do we use those products?

• Delta Dust is very effective for a targeted treatment in existing carpenter bee channels/holes
• Temprid FX is effective for treatment in a broader area than just the carpenter bee channels/holes

What to communicate to client?

• Explain that you treated using a residual product. In other words, this will take some time to work
• Treatment will work for at least 3-4 weeks. During the time of treatment as the carpenter bees are flying into the galleries, they will pick up the treatment and that will eliminate them
• Our office will follow up with you in two weeks to check the progress of the treatment

How to handle follow ups?

• Inspect and spot treat as necessary
• When there’s no activity, retreat exterior preventively in order to reduce callbacks

What to document?

• Document level of activity on initial service
• Document any treated areas and method of treatment
• Evidence of live activity on follow up

Treatment options we provide?

• For single family homes we provide either 30-day special or Protection Plan (quarterly)
• The initial service for the Protection Plan always includes:
  • Perimeter application
  • Remove spider webs outside
• The 30-day special is just focused on getting rid of target pest
