One common question I get from pest management profes-sionals (PMPs) is “why are spiders so difficult to control?” The answer, though, is not an easy one to explain for three big rea-sons:

We rely on pests’ grooming practices to help deliver the pesti-cide from the outside of their bodies by grooming it off with their mouthparts. But spiders do not groom themselves like many insects do.

Most pest control products are targeted to insects. But spiders are not insects; their biochemistry is different.

Spiders typically are not exposed to the pesticide residues for long enough, or with enough surface area of their bodies, to pick up enough product to reach a lethal dose.

Thus, when a customer has an ongoing spider problem, consid-er the following:

• Identification of the specific spider species will help you de-termine control methods.

• Sanitation: Remove as much clutter and debris as possible where the spiders are living.

• Use a “quick-knockdown” product for fast relief.

• Physically remove webs where possible.

• Use a residual, and pinpoint application into harborage ar-eas.

Spiders can be a difficult pest, and often require a different mindset. Remember to start with a thorough inspection — and don’t be afraid to try something new.

EPA ANNOUNCES PROPOSED INTERIM DECISION ON NEONICOTINOIDS *

EPA is proposing changes for five neonicotinoid insecticides that are widely used in the structural pest management in-dustry.

In January, EPA released its Proposed Interim Decisions (PID) for five neonicotinoid insecticides that are widely used in the structural pest management industry (see proposed interim decisions for acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam.).

In the PID for neonicotinoids, EPA is proposing:

the intention of reducing runoff and improving water quali-ty. NPMA will provide substantive comments to EPA on the Proposed Interim Decision (PID) as there are multiple areas of concern, specifically relating to application restrictions based on expected rainfall and the confusing definition of spot treatments.”

Additionally, in the EPA press release, the Agency noted it is working with industry on developing and implementing stew-ardship and best management practices (BMPs).

Fredericks said NPMA has developed Pollinator Protection Best Management Practices for the structural pest manage-ment industry which NPMA has shared with EPA. “Our team will continue to remain engaged in pollinator protection is-sues, including the development of broader BMPs,” he said.

Brad Harbison 2/10/20 PCT

https://www.pctonline.com/article/epa-proposed-inter-im-decision-neonicotinoids/

• management measures to help keep pesticides on the intended target and reduce the amount used on crops associated with potential ecological risks;

• requiring the use of additional personal protective equipment to address potential occupational risks;

• restrictions on when pesticides can be applied to blooming crops in order to limit exposure to bees;

• language on the label that advises homeowners not to use neonicotinoid products; and

• cancelling spray uses of imidacloprid on residential turf under the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) due to health concerns.

Jim Fredericks, vice president of technical and regulatory af-fairs, National Pest Management Association (NPMA), said the PID for Neonicotinoids includes multiple proposed risk mitigation measures that will impact labels and the way pest management professionals use these products. In an email to PCT, Fredericks wrote that NPMA has been actively en-gaged with EPA to help the Agency better understand the ways that our industry uses neonicotinoids in and around structures.

“Based on our meetings, early drafts of the proposed label changes included greater restrictions on perimeter treat-ments, however, through constructive dialogue and ongoing education, we were able to positively affect the final propos-al,” he wrote. “The proposed changes will mean that our in-dustry will likely have to adapt some of our processes with

In August 2019, Gallup conducted its annual Work and Education survey, which determined the satisfaction levels of U.S. adults (employed full and part time) with vari-ous aspects of their jobs. How did the pest management in-dustry compare to this national benchmark? Not bad. Pretty awesome, in fact.

HOW DOES PEST MANAGEMENT COMPARE?

The Gallup and PCT/NPMA surveys asked similar but not the exact same questions so the chart below is not a true apples-to-apples comparison. It does, however, offer some interesting insights.

A Snapshot of Survey Participants Most people (57 percent) who participated in the 2019 PCT/NPMA Workplace Survey were employed by independent and family-owned businesses and held service (31 percent), management (22 percent) and office (17 percent) jobs. (Sur-vey responses from company owners/executives and former employees were not included in this report.) Respondents’ average job tenure was 9.9 years, however the largest group — 26 percent — had worked for a current employer for only 1 to 4 years. Survey respondents gener-ally were male (78 percent), 47.2 years old on average, and had completed some college coursework (33 percent).

HOW TO MAKE AUTHENTIC SOCIAL MEDIA*

Social media is all about connecting with people. For pest management professionals (PMPs), their connections may be prospective or current customers.

To attract people to your company’s social media platforms, figure out a way to stand out and have fun. Bring more of yourself to your social media, says Corey Perlman, CSP, owner of Impact Social Inc., Roswell, Ga., and author of two bestselling books on the subject: eBootCamp! and Social Media Overload.

GET CREATIVE. “There are fun ways to get spontaneous and different with your social media marketing,” he says. For example, a cockroach statue in front of Solutions Pest and Lawn in Roswell has become the town’s beloved mascot, thanks to social media.

According to Perlman, residents dress up “Larry the Cock-roach” and snap photos with him. He is so popular, in fact, he is now included on a list of the city’s hotspots. “Larry is part of the community,” Perlman adds.

To help your company stand out, brainstorm ideas with your entire team. Take advantage of the talents and skills your employees have and your competitors do not. Enlist the help of staff members who are familiar with the social media plat-forms your company uses. Ask them to help create some fun marketing campaigns for your company.

“You will get a lot more engagement if you don’t phone it in,” Perlman says. “Try to get above the noise to be a little bit different and unique.”

HUMANIZE YOUR BRAND. Create social media posts about your employees. Show off the people who are doing the work for your company. The more you share about your employees and your community, the more people will relate to, and want to connect with, your company.

BE CONSISTENT. Once you commit to using social media, keep it up. Strive to make your company visible. Creating a social media content calendar for your company is an effec-tive way to accomplish this.

“This is such a huge part of keeping everybody on the same page and making you more efficient and effective with your marketing,” Perlman explains.

He recommends creating categories of content for every day of the week. Examples include:

• Motivation Monday, which could be general words of wisdom or calls to action — such as scheduling mosqui-to control services before summer is in full swing.

• Testimonial Tuesday, which could showcase a satisfied customer who gave a good review to a technician or a review forum. Ask everyone at your company to support this marketing effort by getting and sharing testimonials.

• What-to-Film Wednesday, which will allow you to incor-porate more video in your marketing and social media.

• Thank-You Thursday, which offers an opportunity to thank your customers, the local businesses you work with, and your community partners.

• Fun-Fact Friday, which could feature interesting infor-mation about insects, or the work your staff performs.

If your entire company knows what will be posted each day, everyone can get involved and help support the person or team in charge of social media. And there’s no excuse for those at the top not knowing what is being posted on their company’s social media platforms, because “that’s your brand,” Perlman stresses. “That is the lifeblood of your busi-ness.”

MEET REGULARLY. Monthly meetings to discuss content for the calendar will result in a more effective and efficient digital marketing campaign, and shows the company is com-mitted. Plus, knowing when it’s time for mosquito services or service renewals, for instance, can be a game changer.

“You need to have monthly meetings around your digital content calendars so you know what’s going on with social media, and your social media marketing team knows what’s coming up,” he says.

Take a close look at your social media content and ask your-self what could be done to shake it up a little bit, recom-mends Perlman.

SUPPORT IPMA & THE PASSAGE OF SB 438

Thanks to IPMA members for participating in a grassroots campaign last month, we now have a seat at the table and have the opportunity for a legislative victory! IPMA is now supportive of SB 438, and we need to pass it because it has been greatly improved to facilitate a positive regulatory environ-ment for our industry. SB 438 merged with a bill we were previously supporting, HB 1119, and SB 438 has content that will benefit our industry.

IPMA supports SB 438 for many reasons including the inclusion of our industry as a valued stake-holder, the creation of an objective and transparent way for penalties to be assessed, maintaining dis-cretion at OISC and upholding the “educate first” principle, and allowing for bad actors to be punished so our industry’s reputation can be protected. This is a huge win for the structural pest management industry in Indiana and join your fellow IPMA members and urge your Indiana Lawmakers to pass it!

EDINBURGH, Ind. — The Indiana Pest Management Associa-tion (IPMA), along with BASF, Univar Solutions and Target Spe-cialty Products sponsored a one-day bed bug seminar at the Hilton Garden Inn in Edinburgh, Ind.

More than 115 attendees from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Ken-tucky learned tips on the latest and most effective bed bug tools, equipment and control methods. Attendees also learned inspection techniques, how to figure costs and the most effec-tive ways to communicate bed bug information. As a bonus, all attendees received a copy of The Bed Bug Combat Manual.

PJB Pest Management Consulting’s Paul Bello presented at the seminar, drawing from more than 40 years of experience in the pest control industry as a business owner, educator and consultant.

The IPMA is composed of 200+ members and provides as well as promotes training and education throughout the state.
