Common questions
Why is gel bait better than spray for ants?
Spraying an ant trail kills the workers you can see and leaves the nest intact, which often makes the colony split and form new routes. Gel bait is carried back to the nest and shared, dealing with the source of the problem. It is slower to look like it is working but considerably more effective.
Can I treat bed bugs myself?
Realistically, no. Bed bugs harbour in structural voids, bed frames and furniture joints, so a consumer spray reaches the ones you can see and misses the population you cannot, pushing survivors deeper into the room. Whole-room heat treatment is the reliable answer and it needs professional equipment.
What does residual mean on an insecticide label?
It means the product keeps working after it has dried, so insects picking it up later are still affected. Residual products suit surfaces insects walk across. Non-residual products knock down what they contact and then stop, which suits flying insects and immediate control.
Is it safe to treat a wasp nest myself?
A small nest early in the season, reachable safely from the ground, with proper protective equipment, is a reasonable DIY job. A nest in a loft or cavity, at height, or already large is not, because disturbing it provokes a defensive response from thousands of insects. If anyone in the household has a sting allergy, treat every nest as a job for someone else.
Do I need PPE for insecticides?
Read the label, which specifies what is required for that product. As a minimum, most treatments need gloves and eye protection, and many need respiratory protection with the correct filter for the formulation. The label is a legal document, not a suggestion.
