# DO YOUR OWN NON-TOXIC PEST MANAGEMENT

Posted by askthebugman ⋅ August 18, 2013 ⋅ 2 Comments

One myth within the pest control industry is that basically most pest problems are the same. In other words, they will spray pesticides inside and around the outside of your home or business and control your pest problem no matter what the pest is. And they charge a lot for this “service”. In reality, every pest problem in every home and business in the country is different. The pests may be the same in many cases, but for a variety of reasons, treatments will vary. Currently I offer pest advice that is also general, but I am changing that. Here is my offer:

If you have a pest problem of any kind, I will help you solve it without using synthetic pesticides. Just tell me what the pest is if you know it, where it is in your house and what it is doing. If you are not sure what it is, you may need to send me some samples. I can identify any household pest in North America. Once it is known, I will tell you what, if anything, you need to control it, how to apply it and what you need to do to prevent a re-infestation. What do I charge for this service? You can pay whatever the information is worth to you. There is no set fee. If money is tight, you don’t have to pay anything. The purpose of this is to reduce the use of pesticides in homes, not for me to get rich. If I make a few bucks, that’s fine. Any extra money I make goes to helping animals as much as I can.

If you have a pest problem, email me the information at askthebugman2013@gmail.com. If you need to send me some bugs to identify (or checks), my mailing address is 6804 4th St. NW, #134, Los Ranchos, NM 87107. Please put the pest samples in small plastic containers or vials and pack them in a bubble envelope so they don’t get smashed by the postal process. This offer is good anywhere in the United States.

If you have termites or some other wood destroying insect, then you need a professional. I can recommend excellent companies in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and most of California. There are very rare instances where you may need a professional for a household pest, and again, I can either recommend someone or tell you how to pick one. However, in 99% of the cases, homeowners and business owners can do their own pest control. There is no reason to endanger your family, your pets or your customers and employees if you are a business owner, with the wholesale spraying of pesticides. I will be happy to help.

## About askthebugman

I have been in the pest management industry for over 40 years. In that time I have used almost every pesticide available to control so-called “pests”. With this experience, I have learned over the years that the pesticides we use are far more dangerous than the pests we are trying to control. As a result, it has become a passion for me to improve the quality of life for humans and the planet, by assisting people to not only become more educated and aware of their environment – but also by learning to manage their home and business with a sustainable and healthier approach to tending to unwanted infestations of bugs. Please enjoy my blog posts, check out my publications, utilize my services, or simply stay in touch if you have a bug question…
