We’re talking about Palmetto bugs today, our large, large roaches. Now, Palmetto bug is so named because not a lot of people wanted to say, I have roaches in my house, but they don’t mind saying I’ve got Palmetto bugs in my house. But truth, you know, they are all very large roaches that can get up to around two inches. Now we do have some Madagascar hissing roaches that really get big but, but these guys get up to about, about, give or take two inches. They can fly. They’re not usually really good flyers, but they can fly and they usually fall under the category of American roaches, Australian roaches and Florida wood roach. Not too much on the Florida woods or oriental that looks similar, but the but in this case, gentlemen had a 1955 home, and then he had an addition onto the house in 2002 and in the old part of the house is where he was seeing most of the the the activity.
And so I first thing I like to do is walk around the home and see what’s going on. And I’m looking around, and there’s a lot of concrete, some rocks, garages fairly clean, not a lot of harbor areas. And so after looking for 10 minutes or so, there’s something underneath this house, more than likely, well, there’s no access to get under the home in this particular case, so we’ll find out. I mean, we did the thermal treatment around the perimeter, but this was in Largo, Florida, but we do services. Tampa owes more Palm Harbor all over. But this wasn’t this was in Largo, and I don’t listen. We’re going to treat this, but we’re going to see what kind of results we get, and we knock this out. You just don’t seem religious with them. We did the transit break. But if we have a continuation, and they’re dying, but they’re still coming out in groves, probably pretty good indication that they were in a location that that we just couldn’t get to. And that happens occasionally. You can use, like, if you go into attic, you could use some dust to do some some different kind of baits out there that will probably help or solve the problem. But if you have an area you just cannot gain access to, you have to start figuring out who one now would and and so I’m hoping this was just on today. So I’m hoping that this won’t be a now what, but we’ll find out.
To find out kind of interesting. I had spiders interpreted springs last week, and roaches and lager this week and but they were both not in normal situations, and they’re kind of fun. I mean, when you’ve gotta use your head and kind of figure out what’s going on, just help somebody so but if you have questions about this or anything else, please give us a call. And always remember, as long as God keeps making them, we’ll keep doing you. Have a great day. You. Transcribed by https://otter.ai
