Erik Gardner Volunteer Rid a Pest Home Fix Show Replay Podcast

0:02 Welcome to the volunteer rid a pest podcast. I’m your host, Mike Stewart. And today we have pest expert, Eric gardener from volunteer rid a pest, your pest experts in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Cleveland, Tennessee and surrounding areas. And today we’re going to talk about at the time of this recording, it’s coming up on the winter, fall and winter season. And you know, one of the questions I have for you, Eric is, you know, do I really need wintertime pest control? What type of pests are a problem during this time? 0:33 Well, here’s a common misconception, a lot of people think, well, it’s getting cold, the all the pests are going to die. And there’s just no bugs out during the winter. And actually, that’s just not correct. You know, the insects around that age. And they came back stronger than ever, every winter will have really cold days. But every spring, we still have bugs. So they don’t die through the winner, what happens they find a place to spend the winter and they go dormant. Now, a lot of different paths are a problem, we get calls in January and February for ants, for spiders for lady beetles for stinkbugs. For mice, you know, mice are really more active in the winter, because during the warm seasons, they’re happy to be outside and you know, feeding there’s plenty the food sources are plentiful. In the winter, however, the food sources are not plentiful. So they move into people’s homes. And then they set up residence there. So we get a lot more rodent calls. But those things are active all winter. And many times the problems with ants and different insects you see in April in May, they actually start in November in December when they find their way into your home when it gets cold. 1:43 So you know, what that tells me is that, you know, bugs are a year round problem. And in fact, I remember years ago, one of my colleagues talked to me about the fact that you’re right, the bugs go dormant, and especially like in things like firewood. And he said that, you know, when you bring firewood into your house, if you’re not careful and burn it right away. Those bugs living in that outdoor dormant home, there’s of the bark of the wood, they think it’s springtime, and they come to life, and they’re all over your house. So this makes a whole lot of sense. bugs can be a problem all year long. But here’s another concern of mine as a homeowner. You know, right now at the time of recording this. It’s a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. So why should I think about Pest Control during the pandemic? I mean, is it really safe to have a pest control professional come to my house come in my house? Well, how do you address those questions? 2:45 Well, and that’s an important question, because a lot of our customers are elderly people. And so we want to take care of our customers. So what we do, we take precautions, we’ve issued all of our technicians in 95 masks, and latex gloves, and hand sanitizer. So as they go from one place to the other, first of all, we recommend the insects, the majority of them come from the outside in, there’s some insects you can carry in and groceries like roaches, and different things like that. So it can happen, but most of the time they come from the outside in. So we want to treat the exterior of your home this time of year to prevent these insects from coming in getting under the siding coming in through cracks getting into your crawlspace and overwintering. If we do need to come inside your home, we’re going to put on our gloves, we’re going to use our mask. And we’re going to make sure that we don’t you know, take every precaution we can not to if we have been exposed not to contaminate you. So we’re not going to touch any surfaces with their bare hands, we’re going to have our mask on at all times. So we were going to take very seriously, we don’t want to spread anything we may have been exposed to. But we’re going to limit that exposure as much as we can, but doing exterior treatments and under your crawlspace. So we’re not gonna have any contact with you unless you just absolutely necessary. 4:04 Well, isn’t it true because of the pandemic a lot of the food source for for insects and especially rodents. Example restaurants that are not as busy as they once worth the food supply to the rodents in dumpsters and stuff. and places like that has been limited. So therefore, they’re hungry. They’re cold. So they’re coming to your house. So do you see an increase on mice and rodents and rats? You know, it’s 4:33 really amazing. A lot of things have changed over the last nine months. With restaurants being closed. Like you said the dumpsters are not being used like they were so it forces these rodents and insects to find other food sources. So they have to move and in that migration. You know, we’re getting a lot of calls from homeowners that live adjacent to these little shopping centers or for the restaurants are located and they’re having more of an influx of a lot of different kinds of answers. And rodents. So, you know, as these things forced us to change our habits, then it’s also forcing the insects and the wildlife to change their habits. And so we are getting an upsurge of these types of calls. So yeah, I think it pest control is more important than ever. And as you call a company that, you know, takes it seriously and has the all the PPP they can rpp Rather, they call it, that’s, you know, going to keep us safe, keep us from exposing you. And we take these precautions, you know, it really, we’re not exposing you to anything, and but we can keep these insects out of your home. And that’s very frustrating when you can’t leave your home as much as you’d like to. And you have to put up with insects in it. 5:43 Well, you know, one thing is for sure about this pandemic. People are home, they’re noticing the problems. And pest control is an essential service. Because you don’t want to have any type of bug in your home, whether it be the pandemic virus, or or rodents or insects. And so I’m so glad we have a professional service like volunteer repairs and Eric gardener to be able to help us have a pest free home. How do people get in touch with you, Eric? 6:14 Just give us a call at 6987205 trees can answer all your questions.

0:01 Welcome to the volunteer router pace podcast with your host, Mike Stewart and our pest expert, Eric Gardner of volunteer Ritter pest for Cleveland, Tennessee and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Eric, are you here on the show today? 0:16 I am here and ready to go? Well, you know, we’ve got an interesting thing that I’ve got some questions about, and I want you to answer them in detail. I know that nowadays that you are doing crawlspace encapsulation. And I’d like you to talk about exactly what does that really mean? And, you know, what are the problems that crawlspace encapsulation solves? A lot of folks, you know, may not even know that it’s a serious problem, and the problems that it could cause for their family and their homes. So why don’t you tell us, you know, what is it, why it’s important, and why we should call you to have it done sooner than life? Well, as you know, Mike, I’ve been in the Termite and Pest Control industry for 37 years. And I’ve crawled under literally thousands of crawl spaces in that time. And I’m gonna say probably 90% of them are too wet, they have too much moisture, the wood, many times has fungus growing on it, it has mold and mildew spores that are, you know, floating around in the air. And it’s just an unhealthy environment, and it’s just right under your feet. And, you know, not only is it damaging the wood that can cost you thousands of dollars to repair. But it also is letting those mildew and molds, fungal spores up into your home that come up through little cracks and crevices are drawn into the home by your heating and cooling system. And it’s just a bad environment under there. And so I’ve tried to find for years how to help people with that. And we have found the solution is called crawlspace encapsulation. And what that is we use a thick membrane of plastic usually, anywhere from 12 to 15, we found 15 is the most cost effective to use and it very durable. And so it’s 15 mil plastic, it’s really thick, and we adhere it to the walls, and we drape it down over the floor. And then we cover the entire floor of your crawlspace with this material. And it will prevent the infiltration of water from the outside, it stops the flow of moisture that condenses on the wood and the insulation. And in some cases, we install a dehumidifier that completely dries out the crawlspace. And it just changed the environment completely, we can treat for the fungus and remove it and then create this clean, bright environment in your crawlspace, we can add additional lighting, and you can even store things under there. Whereas now if you do that, they’re going to be destroyed by the high moisture rate in the water that may enter. So it just creates a different environment in your crawlspace and also increases your property value. So there’s a lot of good things about a crawlspace encapsulation. So what do you guys do different? And why should somebody get in touch with you? And what’s the name of your encapsulation system? And just let people know why they should call you to to have the service done. And, you know, and what are you willing to do for folks in Chattanooga and Cleveland, that will help them determine that this is a wise decision to get crawlspace encapsulation? Well, the number one thing we’ve been in the tournament bass control business for, like I said, We’ve been in business has been in business for 50 years, I’ve been in it for 37 years, and we’ve been around a long time. That’s not encapsulation is not all we do. The reason that’s important, because we might be able to solve your moisture issue with something else that doesn’t cost very much. I mean, you may have a minor problem, you need a minor solution. And we’re going to give you that a lot of companies if all they do is encapsulation, that’s always the cure for your problem. Even if it’s really not, that’s what they say, Oh, that’s what they’re gonna do. We only will sell you an encapsulation if that’s what we feel you need to solve the problem. If we feel additional foundation vents will solve it, we can do that. If we feel that all you need is a traditional vapor barrier, we can do that. But if you have water that’s infiltrating from the outside if you have a subgrade crawlspace, which means that the floor of the crawlspace is lower than the outside grade, and you have water that leeches through your block wall, then you’re a good candidate for encapsulation. But that’s that’s the thing about it. A lot of times when houses change hands now, the new owners are demanding and encapsulation. If your home already has one that gives you a leg up on other homes that are on the market, you can get your home so quicker and for more money. So what are the next steps and what kind of things can you do for homeowners in Chattanooga and Cleveland, Tennessee when it comes to encapsulation can make, you know, how do they get in touch with you? And what will you do? Do you do a free inspection, tell us more about that, you can just give us a call at 6987205, we’d be happy to come out, take a look at your crawlspace we’ll take photos, we’ll take some measurements, and wood moisture content ratings, we use a moisture meter. And we can tell how wet your crawlspace is, which is a big determining factor of how serious the problem is. If it’s 15% or less, then you probably don’t have an issue, you’re probably in good shape. If it’s 15% or higher, then steps need to be made taken rather to bring the moisture level down and get get the place dried out and cleaned up. And if you have wood decay fungus or mold already growing into there, then we need to take steps to remove that and get rid of that because it can be dangerous. You know, not all mold is dangerous. But there are some that are. And we want to make sure you don’t have that going on in your crawlspace. But yeah, we do a free evaluation will come check it out. Take photos that way you don’t have to go into there, we’ll show you what’s going on. And then we can determine the best way to move forward. We offer financing so it makes it affordable for anyone. And like I said it will make your home easier to sell and more valuable down the road. 6:17 Well, that’s awesome news. You know, if you’re a home owner, this is something you shouldn’t ignore. And all you got to do is call Eric Gardner at 423-698-7205. or go to the website dedicated to this. It’s real easy to remember Chattanooga crawlspace encapsulation. It may be a big word, but it’s a big problem that you definitely want to solve and Eric is the expert to do it. He knows crawlspaces because he’s been in a lot of them. And when he sees these problems, they know what to do to fix it. Mike Stewart for the volunteer Raider pest podcast and also now Chattanooga Crawlspace Encapsulation.com [https://chattanoogacrawlspaceencapsulation.com]

Michael Stewart Welcome, everybody to the volunteer to pest podcast. Here again, my name is Mike Stewart and with our pest expert of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and surrounding areas, Eric Gardner here is to talk about something that really aggravates me in the summertime and that is mosquitoes. You know, I don’t know how many times I’ve gone out on the back deck in the backyard, we’re grilling out, we want to eat outside, and you sit there and all sudden you feel this little pinch on your arm, and you go, oh my gosh, it’s a mosquito just smack that guy. And you’re just going, you know what, it’s just ruin the evening, these pesky mosquitoes seemed like they’re just eating me alive. And so what I want to know today as a disliking member of society of the mosquito, one of the things that I need to know to reduce the amount of mosquitoes out you know if there’s anything I can do, more importantly, what has happened in the world of pest control to control the Outside index insects and your backyards. And you know, what does volunteer rida pest do fo[https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.153/352.5ff.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/erik-website.png]r the customers of Chattanooga, that makes a difference in pest control with mosquitoes. So tell me all about the mosquito, Eric. Erik Gardner Okay, well the mosquito is very interesting little insect it goes through a complete metamorphosis. So when it is, you know, the egg is laid, it hatches out as a larva, which just swims around on top of the water, and usually won’t stagnant water, they don’t like moving water. So straight streams and creeks moving water, they don’t like as much they like stagnant water just sitting there. And then they go into a pupa, which floats on top of the water, they emerge as the adult mosquito and then they fly off and then they begin to feed now this process can take as few as six or seven days from a gun to adult. And when it’s at temperatures above 80 degrees, which is what we have right now. So you can go from just a few mosquitoes to a few hundred to a few 2000 mosquitoes in a very short period of time with that kind of life cycle. So what do we do about that? Well, there’s a number of things. Number one, we can treat the foliage where they like to hang out mosquitoes like to avoid sunlight. So when they during the daylight hours they get on the inner branches, the inner leaves of the foliage, the shrubs and bushes. So we have a treatment that we can apply we use a backpack mist applicator is about 120 miles an hour, so it’ll blow through the shrubbery, it’ll coat those inner branches, those inner leaves, where they like to hang out, some companies just use of spray or they spray on the outer leaves. And it just sheds the treatment. It goes on the outer layers, it never makes it to the inner leaves where it needs to be their treatments not as effective. Another thing we do we use a larva side that we put in any areas where there is stagnant water or it may be stagnant water, so if say during a rain, you have a low lying area that fills up with water, many times they lay their eggs there and they’ll just let They’re dormant until it fills up with water. We go ahead and put these little brackets and these little beads in those areas and they just lay there harmlessly until it fills with water then it the larvicide will kill them,  it doesn’t harm any other insects, any other animals. It just is a bacteria that attacks the mosquito larva. We also put it in gutters and downspouts, different areas where they might you know, if the downspouts clogged. The gutters might have a half inch of water running the length of them. Well, that’s where the mosquitoes are breeding and most homeowners never think Look there. So we go from the larva all the way up to the adult and we take care of all the different life cycles of the mosquito. Michael Stewart So we don’t want to have stagnant water in our backyard. In other words I heard years ago, bird Bad’s can be a breeding ground. And you know anywhere where water can be stagnant. We don’t want to have that. Are there any Things that you recommend that you put on your body. My wife used to say, skin so soft would be a little bit of a repellent. Have you ever heard of any of those type of things? And what do you recommend? Yeah, there’s Erik Gardner a lot of different repellents you can use. But here’s the thing, you know, a lot of these things can you can have allergic reaction to them. To me, it’s better to attack it at the source of the problem, which is the mosquitoes if we can treat your lawn and eliminate the mosquitoes, you should be able to go outside and not have to use any kind of repellent because the mosquitoes are just not there. And we’ve learned mosquitoes are short distance fliers, they can travel up to three quarters of a mile to feed but they don’t do it all in one journey. They stop every 10 to 15 to 20 feet to rest. So if they’re coming over from the neighbor’s yard, they’re gonna have to stop multiple times on your treated foliage before they ever make it to you. So we can actually give you 100% control from mosquitoes even a yard just got a really bad problem we can eliminate completely And we’re so sure we can we have 100% Money Back Guarantee which nobody else in mosquito control industry has. That’s how sure we are our our treatments gonna work. Michael Stewart Wow. So when my neighbor’s mosquito gets on my foliage, it is the end of that mosquito. Is that what you’re saying? Erik Gardner That’s what we have found. You know, when we first started this, I was hoping for 80 to 90% control. But we’ve actually had 100% control over our customers just don’t see any. So we can eliminate them completely. And if you know if you do have a problem, we’ll come back for free and treat again, if you’re still not happy, we’ll give you money back. Michael Stewart Well, folks, you heard it there if you want to be able to enjoy your backyard during the warm seasons of summer and fall and early spring. And during the mosquito season. You call Eric Gardner at volunteer rapist all you got to do is Google volunteer read a pass and Eric will get back with you he I know he’s got so many positive reviews so many people happy with their service. Verses and you know why tolerate mosquitoes when you don’t have to? Great information. Eric, thank you for this. Be sure to subscribe to this podcast, share it with your friends. Every month we come up with helpful tips to have a pest free home in Chattanooga. And that’s what we do at volunteer repast podcast. We’ll see you next time.

Michael Stewart Welcome, everybody. It’s Mike Stewart with the volunteer repairs podcast, with pest expert, Eric Gardner here in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Cleveland, Tennessee and the chat into the surrounding area. He is the man when it comes to doing business of taking care of your pest problems. Now, Eric, there are all kinds of businesses out there that do pest control in every city. And there’s big companies, there’s small companies, there’s good companies, there’s bad companies. But you know, for me, as a business owner, and as a consumer, I like talking to somebody that that’s where the buck stops. As for me, I like doing business with local business owners. I don’t want to be a number. I don’t want to be just an invoice. I you know, I don’t want to name names. But you know, I as much as I love Google, I can’t talk to Mr. Google. He’s just too big and hasn’t got time for me but I do like talking to Eric Garner, because Eric Garner knows the solutions to my problems. I can talk to him on the phone. And I tell you what, when it comes to volunteer rinderpest, that’s where the buck stops, it stops with Eric. And he’s going to go the extra mile to make it right. So you tell me from your perspective, I know from my perspective, doing business locally, supports the entrepreneurial world of America. I mean, over 50% of the businesses in America are locally owned small businesses. They’re not big corporations are not big change, not franchises. They are entrepreneurs like yourself. So tell me what sets you guys apart and why you like being a local, grown business. That’s been a business for over 50 years. I know your dad started it. Tell us all about why we want to do business with the local guys at volunteer rapist. Erik Gardner Oh, you know, you’re absolutely right, Mike. The majority of Americans are employed by companies with fewer than 50 employees, and that’s that’s the backbone of our [https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.153/352.5ff.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/erik-website.png]capitalistic system is small businesses serving their local communities and who better to serve your community and somebody leaves right here. You know, why would you want to do business with a company from Arizona or a company from another state? When you got people right here, you know, in with our company, we’ve had offices in Chattanooga and Cleveland since 1970. You know, we know the area, we know most of the people in the area, we know the bugs in the area, you know, who better to control your problem and somebody who, that’s what we do. We don’t have to learn the bugs because we’re actually from another region. We know, each each month we know what’s going to ring our phone because it’s been doing it for 50 years, we know. So we’re going to get out fast where you know, we don’t have to wait till we’re in the area. We’re always in the area. We’re local, you know, so if you call we got somebody right up the street. We can get him out there and take care of your problem. We’ve been doing this for 50 years, I think we have to be doing something right to survive that long and be doing business right here. So another thing to keep in mind is when you spend $1 in the local economy, and you know you spend it with somebody who’s going to continue to do that, which I do, I always look you know, we shop at the local grocery stores, we try to do business any time we can with other locally owned companies, for that reason, because if you if your dollars continue to circulate within your own community, it builds wealth over time because those new dollars come in but a few dollars, leave more dollars stay in the community. When you spend your dollars with out of town companies. The money goes out of town and it doesn’t come back most of the time. And you know, the taxes that that company pays in Arizona or I just use it as an example Arizona, Alabama, wherever you’re supporting their schools, you’re rebuilding their roads and bridges, but when you spend money With a local company, our tax dollars support our schools and our roads and our bridges. And I think it’s very important. People just don’t seem to understand that. But you know, when you live in a community, it’s better to spend your money with local people, because the money stays in the community. It’ll circulate back around land in your pocket, and once again, Michael Stewart well, to have to have an economy that stays local is the power of doing business locally. I know a lot of the Chamber of Commerce’s I know, a lot of the business networking groups, you know, are big proponents, you know, you don’t use local service businesses use local retailers use a local professional services. You know, at the end of the day, it’s when you do business locally, you grow the local economy, and when the local economy’s doing well, everybody’s doing well. So you know, and quite honestly, if I’ve got a problem, I want to know that somebody that knows my name is going to take Care me, not somebody that I have to, you know, be put on hold and and, and dial nine to wait for another automated attendant to tell me that the operators are busy, I’ll have to hold for a minute. Now I like the fa[https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.153/352.5ff.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Paul-treating-300x200.jpg]ct that there is some good old human interaction and I know that’s what you do at volunteer repast. And you know, one of the things that I was told years ago, Eric, is that for a business to succeed, it has to be in business for at least three years, while you’re 47 years to the good on that. So there’s there’s no reason to believe that they’re not doing something right. They are doing plenty right, volunteer repast. So be sure to you know, call them today you have a problem. They’re going to take care of it for you locally, whether it’s Chattanooga, whether it’s Cleveland soddy Daisy, you know all of the areas around Chattanooga, they service that and they make sure you’ll stay pest free.

Until next time. This is Mike Stewart for volunteer therapist in Chattanooga.

Welcome. It’s another episode of the volunteerridapest.com podcast with your host Mike Stewart and pest expert in Chattanooga, Eric Gardner. Eric, are you here again today? I am here and ready to go. Well, you know, I heard from a little birdie, that ants are a problem in Chattanooga, Tennessee and the surrounding areas like Cleveland, Tennessee and all the other places where you help people with pest control. I want to know what, as a homeowner and as a resident of Cleveland, Tennessee or Chattanooga, Tennessee, what do I need to know about ants and the problems they cause and what you guys can do to get rid of them? Well, Mike, you know, we get a lot of phone calls about all kinds of different pests, but far and away most of our phone calls are about ants. And ants can be just a more of a nuisance to most people. They don’t understand that actually. they transmit a lot of different bacterias and germs and things that can make you sick. And anytime you have ants on your kitchen counter, you don’t know where they were a couple hours ago they could have been in the backyard, crawling around in a garbage can they could have been in the backyard around some dog or cat feces. You just don’t know. But once they get in your house, they crawl on your sink, you can get on your dishes, possibly on your food supply. So answer a major problem. And they’re really difficult to control. One reason is because they can get in your wall voids and hang out there. You can treat the outside of your house, but they’re technically already in. So, they can be difficult to track down and find their nest. But we have a lot of experience with this. We can find them and we can get rid of them. So you’re telling me that these ants have all kinds of germs and pathogens on their little bitty feet. And they’re tracking those germs and pathogens all over my kitchen plates and my pots and pans and the things I eat off of. Is that correct? That’s exactly right. You know, most of the time when we get sick, we don’t really know, the source of it, you know, we eat something and we have an upset stomach for a few hours or sometimes longer. And now it’s probably just a little bug or whatever. Well, a lot of times, it’s something like that. There’s all kinds of different little bacteria. They’re microscopic, and ants really small, but these little microbes are even smaller. And they can get on the ant, on their feet on their skin. As they crawl across the surfaces, they can deposit them and then we come in contact with them. So it’s really important to wipe down your sink. You know, make sure if you do see ants in your kitchen cabinets, you don’t just use them, run them through the dishwasher again, make sure that the you know it’s not gonna be passed to your family. Well, that makes a whole lot of sense. And the truth is, I don’t care how clean you are and how nice a house, and new house you have. Every home has the cracks and crevices around pipes and doors and windows that these little pests can get in your house and they’re always looking for food. And they’re always looking for water. And so you just need to know that when you see them, protect yourself. And Eric Gardner and volunteer rapist knows exactly what to do to help you protect yourself and maybe get the get rid of the nest. So you’re saying getting rid of the nest in the yard or somewhere near the house could really reduce the amount that come in your house. Is that correct? Yeah, that’s thing they get out foraging for food and they leave their nest which is typically an anthill in the yard. But once they get in your home they many times we find them in the wall void between the say the kitchen cabinets and the exterior siding and then installation. Great place for them to hide. It’s close to a water source close to the food source gives them a lot of protection. We have found ant colonies inside wall voids literally 10s of thousands of ants. They’ve been there for a long time. And typically they get there in the winter months when it’s cold outside instead of going dormant like they’re supposed to. They get into a nice warm wall void. They’re protected, it’s warm, and they do their business all winter long. People see him in December, January, February, they pop out from time to time to feed and they think well, they’re gone but then they come back again then in April in May, they got a huge ant problem. And it’s because they took no action when it originally started. So we have found huge ant nest in wall voids and attics and basements. So if you’re seeing ants, don’t just assume it’s a mild problem. You know, get it checked out make sure you stay on top of it or it could become a major issue. Wow. They can be living in your house and and set up home inside your house even in the winter. What are the major type of ants found in Chattanooga We get a lot of calls about Pharaoh ants, pavement ants. They call them crazy ants because they act sort of erratic. There’s an odorous house and there’s Argentine ants, carpenter ants and a whole lot of other ones. But those are probably the major ones. And there’s even one a little tiny one called a thief ant, and they are just, you know, there’s all kinds of there’s, I’d say probably several hundred different varieties, and they look very similar at a distance, but when you look at them under magnification, you can tell the differences, but some feed more on proteins, some more on sugar, and some, they prefer moist locations, some prefer hot, dry locations, so you have to know all that and know exactly how to treat for them. Well, this has been extremely informative. I have been curious, and it’s not just ants, it’s a lot of different kind of species of those pests can get in your home in Chattanooga and what I recommend you do is Go to volunteerridapest.com or ChattanoogaTermiteandPestControl.com either of those sites, you find the phone number and you call Eric gardener. He will come out there and make sure guaranteed that if you got a pest problem in Chattanooga, especially an ts, they’ll take care of it. Hey, I’m Mike Stewart for the Volunteer Rid A Pest podcast.
