Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Qs)  HOW DO I GET FLY CATCHERS GLUE OUT OF MY HAIR? Peanut butter seems to work the best. Just rub the peanut butter into the glue and then shampoo out. No need to use paint thinner or cut the hair. CAN I USE THE RODENT SMOKE BOMBS IN MY HOME? Please read the directions. Never use the Smoke Bombs in a home, shed or barn. They burn very hot and can burn your home down. They also smell like rotten eggs when burning and this odor will lodge itself in the wall insulation. DO NOT USE IN OR UNDER ANY STRUCTURE. HOW DO I USE THE WINDOW FLY CATCHERS? Remove the red strip on the pack first. This has a slight sticky strip that will stick to your window. Do not place the broad sticky panel onto your window. If you get the glue on you, just rub off with vegetable oil. WHAT THE BEST WAY TO SWAT A FLY? Move the head of the swatter slowly over the fly. Get within 2 feet. Then quickly flick your wrist and the fly will be history. Large swings tend to shoo the fly right out of under the swatter blade. We think it’s the air movement that lets them escape. HOW LONG WILL THE ANT BAIT TAKE TO WORK? This is a good question and it depends a lot on the type of ant, the time of year and the weather in your area. If you are having a lot of rain, all the outside ants may be coming in due to the flooding of their colonies. With large black Carpenter Ants, you may need a lot of bait. Carpenter Ants have tremendous colonies and consume large amounts of the bait. Always allow 10 to 16 days for complete control. If after 16 days you still have ants, call us for extra tips at (914)-235-5300. IS THERE A TRICK FOR CONTROLLING MOLES? A trick, no. A concerted attack, yes. You must stomp all of the runs flat. Then by the following day, see which ones are rebuilt. This is where you place the Revenge Mole Trap, Mole Bait and Mole Gel. You also need to kill their food source. Spread a good grubicide all over your lawn, especially around the perimeter if they are coming in via surrounding property.
