Mitch Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Looking for a good exterminator. We haven't had this done in years and thinking we should be proactive before they invade. Any references would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrall Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 For that type of spraying I liked Victor Vargas Tapia 33-1331-4242. The liquid he used had no smell and also eliminated the critters. Carmen at Fumi-Tech also is an exterminator but their chemicals did leave a lingering odor. 333-369-3737 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have him come automatically every other month. He's thorough, and has the right equipment for each situation/area. He's an engineer and licensed. Not the cheapest, but very good.

Then run to your Google and search it. There are no regulations here. Very likely the stuff is banned in all first world nations. I once met and had a drink with an American guy, a distributor. His shipment came from Nigeria and never passed through the USA, prohibited to the max. Same thing happened to me when I was looking for a wood preservative. Stuff they had here was unavailable everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's locked up in Canada and you need an applicators license to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Shrall Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 A DIY option for roach control is (Ortho) Home Defense available at Costco and Super Lake. Victor's service does a much better job controlling all sorts of insects but for a cheaper option the Home Defense spray works pretty well.

Aquaponicsman Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Still owed a refund from my exterminator. Spray was totally ineffective. Told me it was my fault because I didn't know what type of cockroach I had. LOL! Apparently being a entomologist is a requisite of the customer, not the "professional." I used boric acid, powders, sprays all to no avail until I got Bayer's Maxforce. Knocked out the problem in 2 - 3 days. I bought it at the Ferreteria on the lakeside of the Carretera on the Chapala side (East) of Mirasol.

mudgirl Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 When Bayer, Monsanto, Dupont, and the like get their carcinogenic products banned in other places, you think they're just going to throw them away? Hell no, just send them to Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
