The Battle Against Bird Mites

Posted by Kirk Dean | Pest Control

Let me set up my story as dramatically as I can. The year was 2017, the month was June. I can almost remember this fateful week like it was last week or last month (I can’t remember which). Our sales manager Chris left for the weekend, which left me to tackle all of the service …

Buzz Off

Posted by Kirk Dean | Pest Control

One thing I absolutely hate is pesky flies dive-bombing my face and arms. I’m sure, you know what I’m talking about.

Earwig Invasion Meets The Wrath of Barrier Pest Control

Posted by Kirk Dean | Pest Control

When I was a child, I remember one day my family sitting down to watch Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. I was young, and what I saw scarred me for the rest of my life. If you haven’t seen the movie, or are too embarrassed to admit you watched a Star Trek movie, I’ll …
