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.
Bedbugs:
DDT almost eliminated these bloodsuckers in the fifties but today
they are making a comeback. Treating a mattress with any pesti-
cide is unwise considering the associated liability problems. The
Sierra kit has several tools that can safely and effectively eliminate
them from the seams and buttons in the mattress and in the bed-
springs, crevices in the bed and baseboard, walls and floor under
and behind the beds.
Wood Destroying Insects:
Even after you have successfully eradicated an infestation of ter-
mites or wood borers, evidence of the old infestation (the wings,
pellets, or frass) may remain behind. This can cause problems
when the structure is examined for resale. The inspector will note
the evidence of wood borers and perpetual buyers may be dis-
couraged from purchasing the home or building. Pellets from an
inactive gallery of dry wood can spill out due to strong traffic or
heavy indoor activity. This may mean that the pest control opera-
tor is called back to retreat the structure. In order to avoid giving
the consumer the impression that the job was left unfinished, you
should always vacuum before leaving a job. The Sierra's specialty
attachments make thorough cleanup simple. Your customers will
appreciate the difference between cleaning with a broom or the
average vacuum cleaner and using the Sierra because it is the
quickest, most efficient way to clean.
Bug Zappers:
Dead insects accumulate in the pan of electric bug zappers. These
then attract more insect scavengers. Cleaning the zapper pan pe-
riodically with the Sierra provides another add-on-service.
