How To Use Professional Products

How to Use a Professional Product

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Many Professional Products can be bought online these days. Most of the products used by professionals are more expensive and come in a concentrated form, but its much cheaper to buy them and do-it-yourself. But how do you use a professional product?

Steps

1. 1- First you must find the professional product. Simply ask a professional what product they use, if they have an MSDS sheet, and/or what is the active ingredient.
   
2. 2- READ THE LABEL. Professional products carry very specific instructions. The label will explain what the product is for, how to dilute the product for each use, and the cautions that you take. The label will be divided up into sections. Pay attention to each section.
   
3. Warning Section of the Label- At the top is usually the warning section and the toxicity label. This section will give you precautions that should be taken, like "wear gloves"
   
4. First Aid Section- You will find a section on health risks and treatments to dangerous exposures.
   
5. How to Use- You will also find a section on "use" or "instructions". This section should provide you with a dilution rate or ration if it is a concentrate. It will also provide different rates depending on use and equipment. For example, You will need an higher concentrate rate of round-up to kill nut grass then you will crabgrass. This can also hold true for insects, scorpions may need a higher concentrate then roaches. So Mix the product according the mixing rate. It will often give you a range. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATE.
   
6. 3- If the Label is too complex then seek additional help or DO NOT USE.
   
7. 4- Store the professional product in a safe place away from children and pets and in the proper temperature range. The label will also provide you with storage temperatures and explosive or flammable temperatures if applicable.

Around the world

So its been awhile since I have been online blogging. I find it quite fun to visit blog sites from all over the world. Its like a 30 second mingle. The world is now at your finger tips through blogging. It inspires me to do a more creative blog. To get out of the pest control rut and get into life again. Pest control maybe what I do, but its not who I am. SO my professional advice today is LIVE LIFE.



Live a pest free life!.... or just LIVE.

Does this really mean much of a change?

Does Google's new search bots really mean much of a change? It seems to me that Google makes the rules so why should we fret over their new Search Bots hitting forums?

Well, this could be good or bad. Google may give you negative points for good links to your site. Or they may give positive points to spammers.

Ultimately, if you play Google's game then you play by their rules. If you say the heck with Google then it doesn't concern you....

Life is so much better when you quite letting someone else control you.

Raid vs Scorpions

I just got an email from a lady in Mesa AZ, that was in desperate need of some scorpion control. I replied and told her that I would be happy to help. A few minutes later I got an email from her stating not to worry because her "Raid for Flying Pests" could kill scorpions as well. Apparently she no longer needs my help.

I often reply to individuals that just want to use raid that its not going to work. I stand corrected,... somewhat. Raid does kill bugs. But, does Raid Control bugs?

I have another solution for you. Its completely organic and it is guaranteed to kill all pests. Plus it will last a lifetime. Its only $5 and I will ship it for free! Its quite simple. Its two pieces of wood. All you need to do is place the bug in between the two pieces of wood and gently apply pressure. If the bug does not die then repeat applying more pressure. Again, this will kill all pests, and rodents.

The moral... Raid will kill most any pest with direct contact. However, it is not really effective as a pest control solution. Although some raid does offer a residual. But why not buy the professional aerosol, cy-kick cs? Longer residual and higher concentrate, and it still falls in the same caution level. And its only $20!

Environmentally Friendly?

What does Environmentally Friendly mean?

Does it mean that the pest control is a natural product? Does it mean that it is an organic product? Does it mean that it will break down easily for the enviroment? Does it mean taking as little from the enviroment as possible? Or does it mean that it is safe for me and my family?

That's the problem with "green" pest control or "Environmentally friendly" pest control, they are so ill defined. Even a natural product can differ from an organic product. Natural meaning not man made, and organic meaning carbon based. Not all natural products are carbon based. Of course all organic (carbon based) products are natural products. The next common error is to assume that all natural products are safe. Many natural compounds are more toxic then the pest control products sold on pestprojoe.com. In fact, many venoms and bites are more toxic then the pest control used to control the insects that carry that venom.

I personally would rather take a sip of cy-kick cs over a scorpion sting.

And lets not get started on which is better for the enviroment, taking a lot more energy, time, and space to grow and produce chemical compounds that could be made with less energy and more efficiently in a lab. The same chemical compound man made, or not, is still the same chemical compound. And if one wants what is lest toxic it could be best to go with a controlled man made substance then a natural compound that may vary in toxicity based on the batch.

However, having said all of that, there are still green products that I love and use inside of my own home. EcoSmart Products are wonderful. They are derived from natural plant and tree oils. They are quality grade and highly effective. There is a lot of science that has gone into their development. So if you don't mind spending a little bit more to try and help the enviroment then EcoSmart is one product that I would recommend.

I am not opposed to Environmentally Friendly Pest Control, in fact I am all for it. I merely suggest that individuals better define what that means to them.

Organic Pest Control

If you want an organic solution then go with a product that has a proven track record. EcoSmart really is the best in organic solutions!

Of course, I still prefer Cy-Kick CS and its less toxic then table salt at its mixed rate!
