This week, Steve discusses the way he gets management's support in taking an IPM approach to apartments and multi-family units.

In addition, Bryan shares a lesson learned from an unsuccessful flea treatment, a new "game changing" bed bug product called CrossFire, and he also tells us about a pest control class he teaches at Valdosta State. 

For episode 75, Bryan and Steve discuss the how to control earwigs, a National Geographic article about using a shocking sex method to control Ash Boring Beetles, and Bryan gives a review of his new Green Gorilla Sprayer.

The guys also play a snippet of the Patrick Baldwin interview with Brad Harbison of PCT Magazine.

The guys and I were thinking about what we could do for another special episode of the Arthropodcast when Patrick Baldwin of PestWorks said, “Hey, why don’t we interview the interviewer. You know the people that bring us the stories we read in the magazines? Why don’t we find out a little bit more about them.”

So, he hooked up with Brad Harbison Managing and Internet Editor of PCT magazine and asked him about industry trends, the future of pest control, and mergers and acquisitions, tips on how to write a better blog post, and Brad also shares a few stories from his years of working with PCT.

This is a change of pace for us, but it’s definitely something you want to check out.

This week, we had the honor of talking with Paul Bello. Being a licensed pest management applicator since 1976, Paul has a unique combination of education and extensive field experience.

In episode 74, Paul shares stories about unique beetle infestations, working for the Miami Dolphins, appearing on Television shows (20/20 and National Geographic), and much more.

This is not an episode you want to miss!

For episode 73, Bryan and Steve have a conversation with Daniel S Gordon of PCO Bookkeepers and TurfBooks. Daniel talks about his book "From Technician to CEO, the common pitfalls made by pest control companies, pricing strategies, "end game" tips, along with much much more.

You'll need a pen and pad for this episode, as Daniel is more than willing to share the knowledge he's acquired in his 20+ years of industry experience.

This week, our pest management podcasters cover commercial tips, how flesh flies hear, and the use of Wolbachia to combat mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and Zika.

They also check in with Patrick Baldwin of PestWorks to find out about the newest and future features of this awesome scheduling software.

This episode, Bryan and Steve cover Daniel S Gordon's book, Mealworms in Korean food, an update on the Zika situation in Miami, and Corn Sweat (a real thing... I promise).

In addition, Bryan discusses an internal struggle he's experienced with his recently found industry fame. This might not be the most polished episode, but it's one you don't want to miss!

You read correctly; but whether it's true or not is a different story.

This week the fellas discuss the Zika situation in Florida, the Green Gorilla, and define the term "baseboard jockey". In addition, Bryan uses TV shows as an example for how your business practices can drift. 

Recorded after a hot, muggy day, Bryan and Steve discuss New Zealand's goal to be rat free by 2050, how springtails become tree food, and Bryan's battle with snails at a particular account.
