My days of being a tech are done bud. Haha. I now get the pleasure of trying to find employees who want a job but somehow don't realize that work must be performed to maintain said job.

Since '08.

Most of my family and closest friends are in La, so I'm hoping for the thumbs up too.

Quick question; Do you really have to pay the state 8 bucks for each wdir you do?

Is that better than Suspend SC or Talstar?


I love using both of these products, but use neither for termites.

My rec would be to use Termidor SC or Taurus SC.

I am probably un-hireable.

I really like not having a boss.

Agreed. I use them almost exclusively.

Yeah right. These greedy bastards just upped the state fee to $12.00!!! All post constructions, pretreats, perimeters and WDIRs!! But of course their response is that it's a "pass along cost" to the consumer. Not easy to explain to a custlmer that I'm adding that because the state is freaking nuts.

Is one better than the other for indoors vs outdoors?

I wouldn't use Termidor or Taurus inside. Talstar is a GREAT all-purpose product (inside or outside), and works really well for ants. I use Suspend for spiders, as I find that works much better for those problems.

Nah. Taurus and Termidor are basically the same thing, so just use one or the other in the bath traps.

eta; oops, I thought you were talking about termite applications.

Suspend works great for all spiders, and definitely widows.

Taurus actually got sued by Termidor because they "copied" their label. Taurus ended up winning because they expanded their label to cover more insects. They also charge almost half the price than Termidor for the exact same product.

La is ridiculous when it comes to any form of business/ trying to get licensed in any area. Its incredible how stupid some of the stuff can be here vs other states.

I hope the OP realizes that a liquid treatment will not kill the colony. I seen it mentioned that it will take some time to kill the colony. Not how a liquid treatment works.
