1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp, the 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: House Whisper on demand on the iHeartRadio app Today. On 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 1: the show, you know, it's another gorgeous spring day here 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: in southern California. The heat has led off. We're in 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: the sixties today. We've got rain, not a lot, just enough, 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: just sort of scattering across the Southland today. It's just 7 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: one of those classic spring days. Tina and I were 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: out in the garden yesterday. We might be out in 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: the garden a little bit more today. I don't know. 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. It all depends. Everything's very wet because 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: the rain has already hit us and is passing on 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: down south now. But the point being, it's a beautiful 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: day and spring is definitely sprung across the nation. It's 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 1: time to talk about the animals in our lives. And 15 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: by the animals, I mean both good and bad. Not 16 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: that well, there are a couple of bad ones, but 17 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: I'm an animal lover, but the animals that we want 18 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: thriving on our property and the animals that we don't 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: necessarily want on our property. So today it is pets 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: and pests all day long. And I've got some very 21 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: special guests coming up in a little bit in the 22 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: second hour of the show. We'll get to them in 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: just a bit. But it's pets and it's pests today, 24 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: and so let's just dive right in. Where did I 25 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: drop my notes here Live radio. Let's see here? Ah, 26 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: there it is okay, now here we No, that's not 27 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: it either, look at me. Just trapes and right along here. 28 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: Let me introduce you to somebody while I pull out 29 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: my notes, and she will keep you entertained. My best 30 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: friend in all the world, Tina is here. Welcome home. 31 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 1: All right, just keep on, you know, just damp, damp 32 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: vamp talk, talk about your garden anything. 33 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Yes, we planted in the garden yesterday, which was really fun. 34 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: The weather was great and we've put some new plants 35 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: in and we're excited. Is actually beautiful that all the 36 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: roses are blooming and it's really pretty. 37 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: Okay, you don't have to vamp anymore. No, I like 38 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: talking about it. I know, I do. I do. I 39 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: like you talking about the garden. I'm just saying I 40 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: found my notes. So if you want to finish your finish, I. 41 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: Just said, I love my roses. It was so nice 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: because yesterday as we were planting, the smell of roses 43 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: wafting through the yard. 44 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: It was really nice. You know, what I'm proud of 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: is that our Carolina wisteria which we've got growing up 46 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: by the house and also a couple other places in 47 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: the yard. We've had them on a trellis, a wood 48 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: trellis for years now. It's been you know, we we 49 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: call we call a trellis when it comes to wisteria, 50 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: which is a very woody plant, uh, training wheels, and 51 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: and we decided this year that it was time this spring, 52 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: it's time to take off the training wheel. So this 53 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: whisteria that has wrapped itself all around the trellis and 54 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: made these fantastic spiral forms and such. I surgically removed 55 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: the trellis yesterday. 56 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: How was that? You know, we were both doing separate 57 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 2: things in the garden, and now you worked really hard 58 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 2: on that. 59 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: The only the only tricky parts are the parts where 60 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: it really wrapped it around some of the individual pieces 61 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: of wood. So I just very carefully cut and extracted 62 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: them without damaging it whatsoever. And what it's left is 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: a sculpture. It's really pretty of whisteria, and so more 64 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: to come on the other ones as well. Okay, thanks 65 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: for hanging on with me. I had a I had 66 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: a note, A malfunction, A note malfunction, the wrong note 67 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: in the wrong file. Okay, but here we go. We're 68 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: talking pets and pests today. I want to start with 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: just two things, two little bits of headlines for you. Okay. One, 70 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: let's talk about El Nino. It is an l year. Okay, 71 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: that is not up for debate now. It's always a 72 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: question of how El Nino is going to develop. But 73 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: this is a this is putting everybody on notice that. 74 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: This week the the Atmospheric Climate and Prediction Center, the 75 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: National Oceanic Atmospheric Climate and Prediction Center, said that there 76 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 1: is and hear me now, and you know that I don't, 77 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. You know pedal in fear mongering here, 78 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: If anything, we're all about bringing people down from their 79 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: fear levels and calling them and saying listen, here's here's 80 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: here's what you can do. But this is just the truth. 81 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Climate and Prediction Center has said, 82 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: as of this week, there's real potential for the strongest 83 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: El Nino event in the last one and forty years. 84 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: That's significant. The last we had cost homeowners in southern 85 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: California alone about five billion dollars in damage, flood damage, 86 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: roof damage, landslides, all these things. Okay, so all I 87 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: am saying is all I'm saying is this is just 88 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: a springtime headline. You got six months, six months to 89 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: take a look at drainage, roofing, six months to take 90 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: a look at your property susceptibility to a large amounts 91 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: of waterfall, and because that's what al Nina is. And 92 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: before that, we're going to be having a very very 93 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: hot summer. If al Nino stays consistent in the past, 94 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: it'll be extremes a very hot summer and a very 95 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: wet winter. So that's just the headline. I wanted to 96 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: start out with the other one. You know, I'll reserve 97 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: because it's about snake bites. We're going to be talking 98 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: about snakeproofing your yard later on the show. We'll cover it. Then. Okay, 99 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: there we are, We're off to our start. When we 100 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: come back, let's talk, I'm going to be bopping between 101 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: pets and pets. Let's talk about allergies and your furry friends. 102 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: Do you actually have an allergy against pet hair. Science 103 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: says no. Let's talk about that on the other side, 104 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: your Home with Dean Sharp, the house Whisper. 105 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 106 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: KFI AM sixty. 107 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us on the program this morning. I 108 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: hope you are doing well. I am here to spend 109 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: some good time with you today talking about your home. 110 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: That's what we do here every single week. We're talking 111 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: pets and pests today and I've got all sorts of 112 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: interesting content for you. So I want to dive right 113 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: in the first thing. Let's do I tease this before 114 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: we went to the break. I wanted to talk about 115 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: what I call the myth of hair and fur. And 116 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: this is just a It's more than just a fun fact. 117 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: It's just something that you should understand because this is 118 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: going to be an ongoing theme through today's show. It 119 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: is quite often our misunderstanding of things that lead us 120 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: to do stuff around our house that we shouldn't necessarily 121 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: be doing, or at least missing the mark as to 122 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: the target that we're trying to achieve. And it's because 123 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: of fundamental misunderstanding of something. So here is a thing 124 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: when it comes to allergies. We talk these days, there's 125 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about like doodles taking over the world, 126 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: which I think is probably true because everybody is in 127 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: search of the hypoallergenic pet. Okay, there is no such thing, 128 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: by the way, as a hypoallergenic pet. And part of 129 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: that myth is the fact that there's a myth out 130 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: there about hair and fur. Hair is fur and fur 131 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: is hair genetically speaking. Genetically speaking, all right, so if 132 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: you were to ask an actual scientist about this, they'll 133 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: let you know, Yeah, no, the same genome controlling the 134 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: whole thing. There really aren't pets with hair and then 135 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: pets with fur. However, on a functional basis that there 136 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: are some distinctions. Now, one of the distinctions is the 137 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: growth cycle of the hair slash fur. Let's just compare 138 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: our pets to you and me. Human head hair has 139 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: what they call a long anigen that's the active growth phase, 140 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: which is like two to seven years. That means a 141 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: single hair on your head and this is not controlled 142 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: by the hair, it's controlled by the follicle. By the way, 143 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: a single hair on your head. Human head typically has 144 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: a growth cycle of two to seven years before it 145 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: is before it falls out. Okay, that's why human hair 146 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: just keeps growing. I mean, you can grow your hair 147 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: pretty long in seven years, right without. But most dog 148 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: and cat fur has a much shorter anigen phase, the 149 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: active growth phase, which is why it reaches a set 150 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: length whatever, it is, super short or long and shaggy. 151 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: But then it sheds rather than growing indefinitely. That's also 152 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: why some breeds like poodles and now the universe of 153 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: doodles out there seem more like or more hair like 154 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm using my air quotes hair like, and they shed 155 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: less because their growth cycle is a little bit longer. Okay, 156 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: so that's one thing, the growth cycle. How long does 157 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: your particular pet genetically grow their hair until it reaches 158 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: its shedding phase? Okay, there's first. The second is, and 159 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: this is really much more functionally important, is single and 160 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: double coats of hair or fur. Again, I'm using them interchangeably. 161 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: There are certain pets that only have single coats and 162 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: others that have single and double coats. A single or 163 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: what we call the top coat. Those coats don't shed. 164 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: If you think about this, you think, even if you 165 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: have a dog that sheds a lot, all right, like 166 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: I've got beagles, and beagles shed a lot. Now they're 167 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: not long haired dogs, right, they're actually relatively short haired dogs. 168 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: But they shed and they shed, and you think, if 169 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: you think it through, uh, it's not every hair on 170 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: a beagle that's shedding, because if that was the case, 171 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: all their hair would fall out and we'd have all 172 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: these dogs running around for a time with you know, 173 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: no hair on their bodies. So that's not the case. 174 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: There is a top coat. Top coats don't shed. They 175 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: simply followed the typical anigen pathway determined for that dog, 176 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: the growth cycle for that dog. But the seas some 177 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: dogs have a seasonal undercoat, a secondary coat that comes 178 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: in seasonally for warmth and what have you. Those coats 179 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: will show up and then they all leave all at 180 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: once pretty much, okay, And that's when, especially times like 181 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: now right now, my beagle is shedding like crazy because 182 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: he gets his winter secondary coat that comes in. It's 183 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: not like it fluffs him up or anything significantly. You 184 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: don't really notice it per se. But then now we 185 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: notice it because it's coming out in handfuls everywhere. Okay. 186 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: So that's the growth cycle of fur and hair on 187 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: a dog. Here's the most important thing to understand. When 188 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: I said there are no hyper allergenic pets, okay, what 189 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: I really mean is there are no hypoallergenic There's no 190 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: hypoallergenic hair out there. Okay, people generally are not allergic 191 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: to hair. What you are allergic to dander and dust 192 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: and saliva and even sometimes Paul and cott in hair. 193 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: All right, And here's the thing. Less allergies occur with 194 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: pets with single coats, thinner coats and finer hair like 195 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: poodles and doodles, And that means less shedding, less dander, 196 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: and less allergic reactions. And there is the key. All Right, 197 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: let's talk about mosquitoes. When we come back your Home 198 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: with Dean Sharp, the house whisper. 199 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 3: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 200 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty transform. 201 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: Your ordinary house into an extraordinary home. One of the 202 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: ways that that happens is by making the pests that 203 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: we don't want to be a part of our daily 204 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: lives not there, not affecting us in the negative ways, 205 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: and our pets, those furry critters that we do want 206 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: as a part of our daily lives, to be happy. 207 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: And healthy and as sound as pops possible. And again, 208 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: this is an issue of design. Now you might not think, wait, 209 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: wait are you talking about like building a doghouse for 210 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: my dog? 211 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: No. 212 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: Design is a manifestation of our intents right right. When 213 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: we say we have designs on a thing, it means 214 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: we've got intentions, we've got a plan, we have things 215 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: that we're planning on doing. Our designs toward pets and 216 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: pests are critical to whether or not that situation is 217 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: beneficial to us or gets out of control. So it 218 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: all comes back in one shape or form or another 219 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: with design in our homes and the design of your 220 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: pest control system. That's really really critical, especially when it 221 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: comes to the one pest that I will tell you 222 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: I don't care if you kill all the others. I've got, 223 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: you know, other plans for. But I got to say, 224 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: I have no love for mosquitoes. I've never met anybody personally. 225 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're out there. There's some entomologists out there 226 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: who's built their life around studying mosquitoes, and like, listen, 227 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: my whole career is mosquitoes. I love them, well, I don't. 228 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: I don't love them at all, there's actually a debate 229 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: in the entomological community as to whether or not they 230 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: really are necessary for the chain of life here on 231 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: the planet. I think there's an argument that in Arctic regions, 232 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: the number of mosquitoes there provide food for birds and 233 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: fish that otherwise they wouldn't have. But it's hard to 234 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: make that argument anywhere else, especially when you think that 235 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: mosquitos are considered the deadliest animal in the world. Why 236 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: because the eighties mosquito carries zeka and West Nile virus 237 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: and dengay fever I'm not even sure how to pronounce 238 00:14:54,280 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: this one, chickung gunya, which doesn't sound good, and yellow 239 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: fever and in a parasitic canine heartworm. Okay, so yeah, technically, 240 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: as far as getting bit by an animal, these are 241 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: the most deadly animals on the planet. Now, that's not 242 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: to say that that's happening here in the US on 243 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: a regular basis. But we all know, we all know 244 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: what mosquitoes are all about. Female mosquitoes can lay up 245 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: to three hundred eggs at a time. They deposit them 246 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: in these clusters that are called rafts. Here's a critical 247 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: beat of info that you know. The more you know. 248 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: Female mosquitoes only lay their rafts on the surface of 249 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: still water. Still water, not stagnant water. They don't need 250 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: stagnant water, just still water because mosquito larvae spend their 251 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: first ten days in water, and that water has to 252 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: be still. Still water is necessary for the eggs to hatch. 253 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: Keep that in mind. The mosquitoes that are now here 254 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: in southern California and otherwhere places in the US are 255 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: daytime biers. Sometimes we call them ankle biters or no 256 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: sums because they're pretty small qlex. That's the ones that 257 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: have been around for a while here. They start biting 258 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: at dusk and they continue a few hours into the dark. 259 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: How do mosquitoes find us, Well, they have CO two 260 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: receptors carbon dioxide receptors on their antennae. They detect the 261 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: carbon dioxide that comes out of your mouth when you exhale. 262 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: Plumes of CO two rise into the air around you 263 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: and me when we're outside, and they act like trails 264 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: that the mosquitoes follow to find their source. Sweat is 265 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: also a factor. It helps mosquitoes choose their victims. Our 266 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,359 Speaker 1: skin produces like something like three hundred and forty chemical odors. 267 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: Some of them smell like dinner to mosquitoes, and body 268 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: heat helps them mark the target. When they get closer, 269 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: they use heat sent around their mouth parts to not 270 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: only detect the warmth of your body, but actually the 271 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: blood inside it. That sounds nefarious. Then they land on you, 272 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: and then they can actually, via these heat detection devices, 273 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: locate the best capillarias for tapping into All right, I 274 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: only say this too because mosquitos love me and I 275 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: hate them. Because they love me, Tina not so much. 276 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: They don't love Tino so much. So for mister outdoorsy 277 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: nature lover boy that I am, it is a cruel 278 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: trick to play to have mosquitoes just completely surrounding me 279 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: everywhere I go. Here are critical bits of information now 280 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: about mosquitos. Bug zappers useless, useless against mosquitos. Studies have 281 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: shown less than one percent of the insects killed by 282 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: zappers are mosquitoes, and those are usually just by accident 283 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: because somebody just flew the wrong way and ran into it. 284 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: The same is true with electronic repellers. Don't waste money 285 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: on any of that. Bs okay. Electronic repellers have been 286 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: proven ineffective in scientific testing. There's all sorts of anecdotal 287 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: evidence quote unquote about them, but they don't work. So 288 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: zappers don't get the mosquito job done, nor do the repellers. 289 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: Now there are three, in my mind methods of dealing 290 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: with mosquitos that have proven efficacy. Are you ready? Okay? First, 291 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: and I put this. This is not an order of 292 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: best to worst. This is an order of least effective 293 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: to most effective. All right. Least effective among the three 294 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: are attractors. All right. Now, we already talked about CO 295 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: two being a thing that mosquitos are naturally attracted to 296 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: because they think that that means there's a living, breathing 297 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: mammal nearby that they can hit up for. Some blood 298 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: attractors emulate that in one way or another. Some of 299 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: them are little chemical water attractors that have yeast growing 300 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: inside them. And the yeast, if you know anything about 301 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: like even bacon bread, right, yeasts eat carbohydrates and they 302 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: they burp out CO two. And so these little bags 303 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: that you can hang, and the idea is that you 304 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: hang them away from where your friends and family are 305 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: gathering outdoors. It did in no way kills or deals 306 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: with the mosquitos. All it does is pull them away. 307 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: That's why I put attractors at the bottom of the list. 308 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: But if you've got a big enough piece of property 309 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: and a big enough attractor, then you could in theory, 310 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: pull mosquitoes away. Now i've you know, with a state 311 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: level properties. There are times that I've seen we've employed 312 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: like the big guns, right, using propane tanks to create 313 00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: a mosquito attractor, which you know from the from the 314 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: the climate warming sense still doesn't thrill me because we're 315 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: just pumping CO two into the air. But for the 316 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: night of the party, Okay, a CO two, a propane 317 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: driven CO two attractor will create a massive plume, far 318 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: bigger than the ones that you and your guests are creating. 319 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: And therefore the idea is that the mosquitoes just go 320 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: there instead of to you. Ehh okay, yeah, proven that 321 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: it will attract mosquitos away. Will they take them all 322 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: away from where you are? That is not proven. So 323 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: that's a thing. Now, we've got two other factors repellance okay, 324 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: personal and area repellents that actually work. We'll talk about 325 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: that on the other side of the break. And my 326 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: favorite mosquito control systems. And there is one that we've 327 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: been using in our yard for a year now. It 328 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: has proven itself massively effective here. I've had multiple conversations 329 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: with experts on this vector control experts. Every buddy's giving 330 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: it the thumbs up. It's organic, it's safe for other 331 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: pets and animals. Anyway, we'll get into repellence and the 332 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: very best control of mosquitos right on the other side 333 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: of the break. Thanks for joining us on the program today. 334 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: You are home the Dean Sharp House Whisper. 335 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 3: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 336 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty. 337 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: All right, we are talking about pets and pests today, 338 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: and thanks for joining us on the program. If you 339 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: have just joined us, I'm right in the middle of Well, 340 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: you've come in at a great time because I was 341 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: about to drop the hammer on mosquitoes. As it were. 342 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: We talked in the previous segment about what mosquitoes are, 343 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: all about their dangers. We all know how annoying they are, 344 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: but the important things about mosquito behavior that are key 345 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: to finding the right kind of mosquito treatments. Okay, So 346 00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: the point is when it comes to mosquitos, what actual works. 347 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: And we've talked about attractors, which means just kind of 348 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: distracting them, getting their attention away from you and your 349 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: family members when you're outside. I put that on number 350 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: three on the level of effectiveness when it comes to 351 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: getting mosquitoes off of you. The second level, which is, 352 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: you know, effective but sometimes inconvenient, are repellents personal repellence. Now, 353 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: the classic has been for generations now deate d E 354 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: T d E E T deet. And yeah, that's a 355 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: chemical acronym that I won't get into, but we all 356 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: know it as deep. If you're a backpacker like I am, 357 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: deep has been your friend and your enemy for many 358 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: many years. One your friend because when you put deet 359 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: on your skin, mosquitoes are not going to bite you, period. 360 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: I mean it literally. You know, I've been told that 361 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: they land on your skin, it starts melting their legs 362 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: and their their little you know, probuscus that they inject 363 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: you with. Now you might be saying, yeah, that doesn't 364 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: sound too great for your skin either, Dean, it's not. 365 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: It's not great for your skin. It's just great for 366 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: keeping mosquitoes off your skin. And also, as a backpacker, 367 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: I will tell you that deet actually literally melts nylon, 368 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: and so you get it too much on your gear 369 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it starts damaging your gear. 370 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: So I was so happy to hear when Pickeradin Picardin 371 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: pic a r idn Picradin came out. It is a 372 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: non skin and nylon melting repellent twenty percent Picardin mixes 373 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: in your favorite bug spray or bug repellent. Is better 374 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: for you, better for your skin, better for the environment, 375 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: and just as effective as deep And so the repellent, 376 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: of course, is the personal repellent you either spray or 377 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: put on as a lotion, and you do that with Picartin. 378 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get bit by mosquitos, period. Okay, I'm 379 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: not gonna mess with all the other anecdotal ones. An 380 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: area repellent where you're not necessarily you putting on, you know, 381 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: mosquito cream or lotion is a therma cell. Therma cell, 382 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: it's a brand name. These are rechargeable repellent devices. They 383 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: emit kind of you know, they kind of work like 384 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: a citronella candle, but they're way more effective than citrunnella candles. 385 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: They have about a twenty foot range. Each one of 386 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: these devices Tina and I have used these in the 387 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: past as well, and they have proven themselves effective. You 388 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: can also take them camping with you too. They're rechargeable, 389 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: battery driven, they last for a long time. They're little 390 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: inserts that you replace. They are putting a chemical out 391 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: into the air, but mosquitos want nothing to do with them, 392 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: and so they are highly effective. If here's the big if, 393 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: if the wind is not blowing, because you know, any 394 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: repellent that you suspend in the air only keeps working 395 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: if it's in the air around you, as opposed to 396 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: being blown away by the wind. So that's why repellents, 397 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: at least area repellents I put on level two level 398 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: three control. This is what I want for you, and 399 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: this is where really some of the breakthroughs have happened. 400 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: First of all, a massive warning, don't spray. Don't have 401 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: a pest control company come and spray your yard for mosquitoes. 402 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: The only reason I'm saying that it's very simple. Pest 403 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: control sprays are the nuclear option. They kill everything, They 404 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: kill beneficial insects in your yard indiscriminately, and then they 405 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: work their way up the food chain. Okay, so not 406 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: only do they get inside all of these other these 407 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: or on all of these other insects. But the fish 408 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: in your coy pond that eat those insects, the birds 409 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: that eat those insects, and up and up and up 410 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 1: it goes. Our guests are very special guests who are 411 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: coming on next segment, we're gonna be talking about that 412 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: problem when it comes to controlling rodents, and that is 413 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: rodenticides get inside these rodents and who are then consumed 414 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: by other wildlife, and up and up and up and 415 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: through the food chain it goes. So don't spray. Okay. 416 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: A really really good option for any of the standing 417 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: water that you may have around your property and or 418 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: moist garden beds are mosquito bits.

It 421 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: is an organic larvacide which only hear me now only 422 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: targets mosquito larvae and fungus nets. That's it. It's totally 423 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: effective for the locations that you place it in. Okay, 424 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: So for the standing water that you may have around 425 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: your property, for moist garden beds, you can sprinkle mosquito 426 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: bits around and through, and they are really really effective 427 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: at shutting down reproducing mosquitoes inside your yard.

All other beneficial 432 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: insects like bees and other things like that, not affected, 433 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: Not affected at all. The fish, the birds in the yard, 434 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: the dogs, the pets, the humans, the people's not affected. 435 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: Really really good stuff, all right.
