- Page 3 Pesticides can’t penetrate spider egg cases. Dead insects at the site become food for other insects. Spider webs are a prime food source for the plaster bag worm. With the Sierra, you can remove the spiders, webs and the dead insects and offer a chemical free approach.
- Page 4 Cockroaches: In badly infested apartments, tests have shown that more cock- roaches were killed with the Sierra than were killed with a py- rethrum fog. Cockroaches can instantly retreat into crack and crevices or their lair where air currents do not deliver the fog. The vacuum can pull them out along with the egg capsules, which are not affected by the fog.

The Sierra can also remove live insects hiding behind the shelf or under shelf paper, a practice which can keep them from spreading. Some people are very sensitive and fearful of using pesticides in a pantry area.

- Page 9 Bats: Bat nest debris can cause serious illnesses. Before doing work in a bat infested attic, the Sierra with its High Filtration Disc can remove the pathogenic organisms while minimizing the risk to the PMP or the client. Follow the precautions noted in the section about Hantavirus.
