🩸😱 BEWARE OF TICKS — THE ULTIMATE BLOODSUCKERS! 🐜

Did you know that a tick can attach to YOU or YOUR PET and feed on blood without you even realizing it?!

🚨 TICK SEASON IS NO JOKE!

In today's YouTube Short, Craig from How To Pest explains how ticks attach to humans, dogs, cats and other animals to feed on their blood!

🩸 HOW DO TICKS FEED?

🐜 THEY WAIT FOR A HOST! Many ticks climb onto vegetation and wait for a person or animal to brush past.

🐕 THEY ATTACH TO SKIN! Ticks use specialized mouthparts to pierce the skin and anchor themselves while feeding.

😱 YOU MIGHT NOT FEEL THE BITE! Tick saliva contains substances that can make their bites difficult to notice.

🩸 THEY CAN FEED FOR DAYS! Depending on the tick species and life stage, an attached tick may feed for several days, becoming noticeably engorged.

⚠️ THE REAL DANGER?

Some ticks can transmit serious diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis. The risks vary by tick species and geographic location.

🔥 PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR PETS!

✔ Check yourself and your pets after outdoor activities.

✔ Pay special attention to hidden areas, including behind ears, underarms and around the collar.

✔ Use appropriate EPA-registered tick repellents as directed.

✔ Ask your veterinarian about effective tick prevention for your pets.

✔ Remove attached ticks promptly using fine-tipped tweezers.

🐜😱 **ANTS KEEP COMING BACK NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO?! HERE'S WHY!**

You've sprayed them, cleaned them up, and thought they were gone… only to find MORE ANTS crawling across your kitchen counter the next morning!

**WHY CAN'T YOU GET RID OF YOUR ANT INFESTATION?**

In today's video, Craig from **How To Pest** explains one of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when trying to get rid of ants: **KILLING THE ANTS YOU SEE WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE COLONY!**

🚨 **HERE'S WHAT MOST HOMEOWNERS DON'T REALIZE!**

🐜 The ants you see are often just a small portion of a much larger colony.

🐜 Killing foraging ants doesn't necessarily eliminate the queen or the nest.

🐜 Some ant species have multiple queens and multiple nesting locations.

🐜 Spraying around ant bait can interfere with feeding and reduce bait effectiveness.

🐜 Ant colonies may change their food preferences, causing them to ignore certain baits.

💥 **STOP JUST KILLING ANTS — START TARGETING THE COLONY!**

Craig explains why identifying the ant species, understanding their feeding behavior, selecting the right bait, and placing treatments correctly can make a major difference.

🏠 **IN THIS VIDEO, YOU'LL LEARN:**

✅ Why ants keep returning after treatment

✅ Why spraying visible ants may not solve the infestation

✅ How ant colonies survive when foragers are killed

✅ Why ants sometimes ignore gel or granular baits

✅ The difference between sweet and protein/oil-based ant baits

✅ How to improve your ant-control strategy

🐜 **Advance 375A Granular Ant Bait** – A protein/oil-based bait option.

🍯 **Advion Ant Gel** – A sweet bait option.

🪳 We Were Filming a Pest Control Show… Then THIS Happened! 😳

👉Watch the full Ask a Pest Pro LIVE here: https://youtube.com/live/xsgWJZyctrI?feature=share

🪳 YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP! Craig was in a hotel filming Ask a Pest Pro LIVE when an unexpected guest decided to make an appearance... A LIVE AMERICAN COCKROACH! 😳

Of all the hotel rooms—and of all the nights—for a cockroach to show up, it happens while a pest professional is filming a pest-control show! Instead of just getting rid of it, Craig grabs it and gives you an up-close look at a live American cockroach and explains what homeowners and travelers should know.

In this video:
🪳 Watch Craig catch a LIVE American cockroach
🏨 See where it was discovered in the hotel
🔎 Learn how to recognize an American cockroach
📏 See just how BIG these cockroaches can get
💧 Learn why cockroaches may show up around hotels and buildings
🎒 Find out what travelers should consider before bringing their luggage home
🏠 Learn what finding a cockroach can—and cannot—tell you about a property

🏨 DOES ONE COCKROACH MEAN THE HOTEL IS INFESTED? Not necessarily. American cockroaches can enter structures from areas such as utility penetrations, plumbing and drainage systems, wall voids and exterior environments. Finding one cockroach alone doesn't prove there's an established infestation inside your particular room. But when you're traveling, it's still worth knowing what you're looking at and where to check. And seriously... What are the odds a cockroach walks into Craig's hotel room while he's LIVE talking about pest control? 😂

👇 WHAT WOULD YOU DO? If you found this in your hotel room, would you catch it—or immediately call the front desk?

🐜 STOP Killing Ants Too Fast! THIS Is How You Kill the Colony

👉Watch the full Advance Carpenter Ant Bait video here: https://youtu.be/fX0rE8EEdLI
👉Buy Advance Carpenter Ant Bait here: https://howtopest.com/product/advance-carpenter-ant-bait/

🐜 Think your ant bait isn't working because the ants don't die immediately? That's EXACTLY what you may want!
In this video, Craig from How To Pest demonstrates how Advance Granular Carpenter Ant Bait works on an active ant nest and explains one of the most important concepts in successful ant control:
👉 You don't necessarily want the foraging ants to die immediately.
When ants find an attractive bait, the goal is for workers to have enough time to pick it up, carry it back toward the nest and distribute the food within the colony.
Craig applies Advance Carpenter Ant Bait around an active ant nest and shows the ants finding and collecting the granules.
🐜 Why can slow-acting ant bait be beneficial?
🏠 How does bait reach ants you can't see?
👑 How can baiting affect the larger colony?
🎯 Where should granular ant bait be applied?
🚫 Why can killing only the ants you see fail to solve the underlying infestation?
⏱️ How long should you give ant bait to work?
The ants walking away with your bait aren't necessarily a sign that you've failed.
That's the point.
Rather than focusing only on the visible foragers, a properly selected and applied bait is designed to let ants feed on or transport bait as part of their normal foraging behavior.
🔥 DON'T JUST FIGHT THE ANTS YOU SEE — TARGET THE COLONY.
Craig also explains why spraying insecticide around or directly over a bait placement can interfere with baiting and why homeowners should follow the product label when choosing treatment locations and application rates.

🐜 ONE Termite Can Spread THIS Through the Colony?! 😳 | Termidor SC
👉Watch the full Termite LIVE video here: https://youtube.com/live/21WK_qzCskk?feature=share
👉Buy Termidor SC here: https://howtopest.com/product/termidor-sc/

🐜 What if the termites NEVER KNOW the treatment is there?
Termite expert Jeff from Paradise Exterminators explains to Craig how Termidor SC uses a non-repellent transfer effect to reach termites beyond the ones that initially contact a treated area.
Unlike a repellent treatment that termites may detect and avoid, Termidor SC contains fipronil and is non-repellent to termites. Termites can contact treated areas, continue interacting with other termites, and transfer the active ingredient through the colony.

🔄 CONTACT → TRANSFER → OTHER TERMITES ARE EXPOSED

Jeff discusses how a termite exposed to Termidor can potentially transfer exposure to many other termites—including the dramatic “up to 300 termites” example he explains in the video.
THAT'S what makes the Termidor transfer effect so interesting. 🤯

🐜 HUGE Field Ant Nest? Do THIS! | Advance Carpenter Ant Bait

👉Buy Advance Carpenter Ant Bait here: https://howtopest.com/product/advance-carpenter-ant-bait/

🐜 Got a huge field ant nest in your yard? Here’s how to treat it correctly!
In this video, Craig from How To Pest demonstrates how to get rid of field ants using Advance Granular Carpenter Ant Bait and shows exactly how he applies the granular bait around an active ant nest.
Despite the name “Carpenter Ant Bait,” Advance is labeled for numerous ant species, including field ants.
Craig covers:
🐜 How to identify an active field ant nest
🎯 Where to apply Advance Carpenter Ant Bait
🧂 How to properly distribute granular ant bait
🚫 Why you don't want to simply dump a pile of bait on the nest
👀 How quickly ants can begin finding the granules
🏠 How worker ants carry bait back toward the colony
⚠️ Common ant-baiting mistakes to avoid
🌳 How to approach outdoor ant colonies around your property
One of the most important things to understand about ant bait is that you don't necessarily want every worker ant to die immediately.
The goal is for foraging ants to find the bait and carry it back, helping expose other members of the colony.
If you're dealing with field ants, carpenter ants or other outdoor ant colonies, proper bait placement can make a major difference.

🐜 TERMITES LOVE THIS! 😳 Why Cardboard Is a Termite Buffet

👉Watch the full Termite LIVE video here: https://youtube.com/live/21WK_qzCskk?feature=share

🐜 TERMITES LOVE CARDBOARD — and there’s a reason why!
Craig and termite expert Jeff from Paradise Exterminators explain why cardboard can become a termite buffet, especially when it's damp or stored where termites can easily reach it.
📦 Cardboard contains cellulose, the material termites are after.
Add moisture + cardboard + termite access, and you could be giving termites exactly what they need.
Craig and Jeff explain why homeowners should pay attention to cardboard stored:
📦 In garages
🏠 Near foundations and walls
💧 In damp or humid areas
🌳 Outside or directly on the ground
🔦 In crawl spaces and other rarely inspected areas
That stack of old boxes may deserve a second look! 👀
