16
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: line and Jack Welcome morning morning.

17
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: I have excuse me. I have a Gambrell home in

18
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: Massachusetts and I have a terrible dust problem. It had

19
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: force taught a heat and we converted it to force

20
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: hot water about a year ago. We kept the furnace

21
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: in place as an air handler for the central ac

22
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: Within the last eight years, we had professional cleaning company

23
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: come in and clean the duct work, scope it, make

24
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 2: sure there's no leaks in the walls. Everything was good

25
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: the house when we bought it. It started out in

26
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: the soul of the duck work was a fiber glass

27
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: duck work with like an aluminum foil over it. I've

28
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: never seen anything like it. We had it all ripped

29
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: out and had galvanized custom made duck work put in.

30
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: It didn't help. And these cleaning companies they went and

31
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: all the walls, they went everywhere, they cleaned everything. We

32
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: keep the house real clean, but you can see the

33
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: dust in the air like on a sunny day.

34
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: Wow.

35
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: Well, Jack, this ain't gonna make you feel This aint

36
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: gonna make you feel no better. But I think you've

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: done everything I would have done. Also, so you said

38
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: a couple things, and every time you set it off,

39
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: I kind of checked the box. Well, that's what I

40
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: was going to tell you was first thing was going

41
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: to be duddy. And you know cleaning the duck work. Now,

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, that type of duck work that

43
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: you tore out, it really can't be cleaned because they

44
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: would tear up that duck work. So but you replaced

45
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: that to a middle duck work correct.

46
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: Yes, and after we had that because we had the

47
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: duckwork cleaned. Let me go back a little bit. We

48
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: had the duckwork cleaned after we ripped out all that

49
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: fiberglass and put the galvanized ducks worked in and that

50
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: it didn't help at all. The other thing I've done, Gary,

51
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: is I occasionally would vacuum the whole solar floor and

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: our sall was clean. It's not finished. There's all tools

53
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: and equipment now, but we make sure everything's clean around

54
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: the dry up. We make sure we change our filter

55
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: the air handler now not the furnace, it has dual filtration.

56
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: We changed those every six months. The return filters on

57
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: the second floor. We even had a fourteen inch return

58
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: installed up to the second floor because it only had

59
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: a four inch return originally, because the guy came in

60
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: and measured everything and said that's what we needed. But

61
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: everything pretty much is new except within the wall, and

62
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: we still get an awful amount of dust.

63
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So having you tell me everything you did,

64
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: by the way, which would have definitely been the right

65
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: thing to do. So it's not like that wasn't necessary.

66
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: It's certainly things I would have done, and anybody that

67
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: would inspect it it probably told you to do. Now,

68
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: there's one variable here. What type of duckworks in the walls?

69
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: Is it metal?

70
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: It's galvan I steel. Yes, they went in with scopes

71
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: and checked it because they said that if you had

72
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: a leak in one of the seams, you could be

73
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: calling you know, debris in from.

74
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: Me exactly where I was going. So let me just

75
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: add this little caveat. I'm not going to sit here

76
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: and swear it's going to work. I'm just it's a

77
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: caveat because what they said and what I'm going to

78
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: tell you is the truth. If those seams in the

79
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: wall that they can't get to you, you got the

80
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: velocity of air going through there and it kind of

81
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: creates a little vacuum where it can vacuum I don't know,

82
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: fiberglass or any type of insulation, or just dust and

83
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: put it in through your system which is dispensing it

84
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: throughout the house. Now, I know they put a camera

85
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: in there, but I'm not so sure you would find

86
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: little small openings with those cameras. It's certainly not like

87
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: weather tight because they're just pressed together pipes if you will.

88
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: They don't drill them and screw them like they used to,

89
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: so that could be still taking place now. So there's

90
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: a solution for that. There is a product called arrow

91
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: Seal a E R O S E a L. It

92
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: was first brought into the market by I think it

93
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: was Carrier about twenty years ago and they have since

94
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: sold it and I think the name of the company

95
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: is aero Seal now. But what it does is they

96
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: they'll come in, they being an HVAC company, will come

97
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: in and they will test how much air is going

98
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: through that ductwork and what the results are in terms

99
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: of leakage. I actually had this done to my home

100
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: about eighteen years ago, and I had a four ton

101
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: unit and I was getting three tons of heated air,

102
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: so I was losing air. And then what they do

103
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: is they tape up all the registers and they blow

104
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: in an air aceeal I guess you called an aerosol,

105
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: which would be a ceiling which would seal the inside

106
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: of those pipes. And I got it up three tons

107
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: and seven ace so it had sealed that much. Wow,

108
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: imperfections up And then for the duckwork, I could see

109
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: like down in the basement up in between the joists.

110
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: They taped each joints, each joint with an aluminum tape.

111
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: If there was a hole, and there was a couple

112
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: of them, they used gray silicon clocking. So that's my story.

113
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: How does that affect you? Maybe that's something you want

114
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: to pursue because you know, I know they said they

115
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: didn't see anything, but maybe there is. I mean until

116
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: you run an air test, a pressured air test, I

117
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: guess we really don't know what we're losing. And that

118
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: might be worth it, yeah.

119
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: Because I guess think it afterwards. The camera is only

120
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: as good as a guy behind it.

121
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: All right, right, he may not have.

122
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: Been very thorough. I mean there could be multiple fastena

123
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: holes from screws or whatever. Sure that could be cause

124
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: it now and then, Like I said, the duck thing

125
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: now is only used in the summer for the central last.

126
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: But one thing I haven't done. I haven't covered the

127
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: registers in the window when we run the fores. Hought

128
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: water heat because my wife's was the force. Hought water

129
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: heats causing dust. They said, honey, that it does not

130
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: cause dust.

131
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: No, but it doesn't. It's got to be either dust

132
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: that's in the house that is circulating, or it's picking

133
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: it up through as we said, through the duckwork on

134
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: the inside of the walls. Yeah.

135
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: Well I'm gonna look into that arrow seal Okay, Yeah,

136
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: if I have to. That's a good idea, having them

137
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: pressure test the system. I think of that.

138
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: Yep, I think that would be the way to go.

139
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: That checks another box off and be honest with you,

140
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: that's all the boxes I have.

141
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep. Well, great show, Gary, and.

142
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks Jack, Take care Bubba. All right, if

143
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: you'd like to join us, do so. It's eight hundred

144
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: eighty two three eight two five five lines open and

145
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: take a quick break, can't. You're up first, don't go anywhere.

146
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: We'll continue at Home with Gary Sullivan weekends.

147
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 4: I mean a never ending list of things to do

148
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 4: around your home. Get help at one. Eight hundred and

149
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 4: eighty two three tok You're at Home with Gary Sullivan.

150
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: A flooded basement can destroy your home in minutes. Flooring,

151
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: ruined walls soak thousands of dollars in damage, and your

152
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: some pumps the only thing standing between you in a disaster.

153
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: But when storms hit, power fails and pumps quit you

154
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: need a backup Zalor backup. Some pumps run on a

155
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: battery or even city water. With a Ventury system, every

156
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: pump is tested and retested at the factory. Plumbers trust Zalor,

157
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,280

198
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: how are you today? Doing fine? Thank you?

199
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: Hey, I am calling. I know in the past you

200
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: had talked about some patching of little holes in the wall,

201
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: and there was a newer product that was almost a

202
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: tape that we removed a couple of shelves that you

203
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 3: threw into the wall with anchors that were taking those down,

204
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: and it's less about a quarter inch hole from where

205
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: the anchors were, and that tape sounds like it might

206
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: be the perfect thing to cover those up, but I

207
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: couldn't remember the name of it.

208
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually it isn't a tape, and it might be

209
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: a little bit of an overkill for you have. It's

210
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: called eclips. It is the coolest product in the world. Seriously,

211
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: It's about the size of a saucer. Okay, so the

212
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: hole that I'm visualizing is more than a quarter inch hole.

213
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: It's like a doorknob that went through dry wall. Oh okay,

214
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: but it does have an adhesive on the back of it.

215
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: It's about as thick as a piece of paper, but

216
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: it's much more rigid. It's almost like a like, I

217
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: don't know, like a plastic, but it's no thicker in

218
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: a piece of paper. And it's got an adhesive on it.

219
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: And you put it over the hole and you never

220
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: patch it. Put this thing over the hole and you

221
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: put two or three coats of paint over it, and

222
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: you're done. Now, you could probably get that if you

223
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: wanted to, and cut a little piece of it and

224
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: just cover it and that that would certainly work the

225
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: same way, but that's probably an expensive way to do it.

226
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: One of the things you could do is maybe you

227
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: just get some mesh tape, which is more for seams

228
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: like between I don't know, the door in the in

229
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: the drywall, you know, right, And it's self adhesive. It's

230
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: like gauze. It's for patching cracks that would go from

231
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: like the window to the ceiling. It's about an inch

232
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: and a half wide. You put that on there, put

233
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: a coat of topping compound on there, and you just

234
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: since it's like gauze, it's got all these little squares, right,

235
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: and you put that topping compound on their draw it down,

236
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: so you kind of fill up those little holes and

237
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: then you let it dry, and then you come back

238
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: and you do the feather edging with a top coat.

239
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: Still maybe a little bit of an overkill for that

240
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: quarter inch hole. I think I would try if it's

241
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: just a quarter of an inch, I would think a

242
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: spackling compound, you know, not the feather light spackling compound,

243
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: but more of the vinyl heavier spackling compound. I think

244
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: you could take that with a putty knife and press

245
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: that into the hole. You might have to, you know,

246
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: work it a little bit and do a couple of

247
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: coats and then get it nice and smooth on the surface,

248
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: let it, let it dry, sand and paint.

249
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I it's in a very visible area. My concern

250
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: was that my dry wall skills are good enough.

251
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna well, that's always that's always an issue. I mean,

252
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: it really is. That eclipse thing is phenomenal. It really is.

253
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: So you might when you get to the hardware store

254
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: and you're looking at your spackling compounds and different products.

255
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: I know, Hide makes one. It looks like if you

256
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: broke your arm, you got cast material. It's a gauze almost,

257
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: and you dip it in water and it's got the

258
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: topping compound kind of embedded in it. And that's another thing.

259
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you the eclipse. You know, maybe you

260
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: get it. I mean, it's like nine bucks and you

261
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: get a you know, I don't know three or four

262
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: of the circular products in there, but you might just

263
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: take a look at it. Maybe you cut a piece

264
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: of that and just put it over there. I'm sure

265
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: it functions the exact same way, probably function better, but

266
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: take a look.

267
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: At it that. I mean it would last. I mean

268
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: it would last like if I only use the piece

269
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 3: that if I have something down the road.

270
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. But you know, again, if you're a

271
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: little concerned about since it's such a highly visible area.

272
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: I've used this a couple of times just learning about it.

273
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: When I did, and they had some trial areas where

274
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, fairly decent holes about the size of your

275
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: fist and drywall and like I said, it's about the

276
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: size of a saucer and you put that over there,

277
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking like there's still a little bounce in

278
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: this patch, and they go like, we're gonna put two

279
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: or three coats of painut we're not using any topping compound.

280
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: And when they did and that dried, it hardened that

281
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: thing up and you couldn't see it because the paint

282
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: film was thicker than the product.

283
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: So all right, I think I may And you said

284
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 3: it equipped E C L I P S.

285
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, E C L I P S. I think I

286
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: think you'll see it. It's made by DAP, Yeah.

287
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 3: Made by d okay, and that's available at any big

288
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: box store or ACE or something like that.

289
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I originally saw it in an A store,

290
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: but I'm sure that's probably in most stores now right

291
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: around the spackling compounds and things. Take a look at it.

292
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: You can look online too.

293
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: So thank you very much. Saw. I think that's the rile.

294
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go and give it a try.

295
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: Very good, all right, thanks can appreciate it, all right.

296
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, that is there, it is a

297
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: really neat product. Now, if you had a doorknob go

298
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: through it, I always like to tell the story if

299
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: the doorknob went through the drywall one time, and if

300
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: you got kids. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

301
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: And you make a patch, there's probably a good chance

302
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: that doorknob is going to go through that wall again

303
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: unless we prevent that. So I'm just using this as

304
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: an analogy too. So if you have that, you can

305
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: use the eclipse paint over it and all's good, but

306
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: you better do it where that doorknob can't go through again.

307
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: So you can get a doorstop that fits on the hinge.

308
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: You get a doorstop that fits on the baseboard to

309
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: stop that door from I'm hitting the drywall. Otherwise, I'm

Speaker 1: said Olisa is not going to be happy tomorrow morning.

368
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, Washington State is having a tough time.

369
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know it is March madness, madness that

370
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: is so the antswer on the March.

371
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 6: Huh yeah, yeah, they tend to get a little bit

372
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 6: more active this time of the year. In the spring.

373
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 6: They the weather warms up and they start moving around.

374
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 6: Same with most infects really, and.

375
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: Ants, they're they're they're phenomenal. Bugs are best very adaptable.

376
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: And how do you I guess one of the things

377
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: I want to add from my home improvement standpoint is

378
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: take a look around the outside of your house. Any

379
00:23:52,800 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: cracks and foundations, mortar, any little tiny thing outside I

380
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: could be a passageway for ants. You can start there.

381
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: But those little guys seem to get in no matter what,

382
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: and then what do we do?

383
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 6: All right, Well, we find the best way to do

384
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 6: it is you want to get them at the colony

385
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 6: where where they are. Like I said, there's little cracks

386
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 6: of crevices. They've got colonies, you know, all over the place,

387
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 6: right and you're not gonna be able to find that colony,

388
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 6: but you can tempt them with bait. And so you

389
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 6: have them take the bait back to their colony, share

390
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 6: it with all their friends there, and knock the ant

391
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 6: probble back at the source.

392
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: So where do you put the bait and what's the

393
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: bait look like?

394
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 6: Well, we carry a bait station that is child resistant

395
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 6: and it can housed both a protein and a sugar separately,

396
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 6: and it's nice kind of a fresh gel form. You

397
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 6: can put that out where you're seeing, say, the ants

398
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 6: roaming around in your house. If you're seeing a few

399
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 6: hanging out in your bathroom kitchen, they tend to go

400
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 6: where there's a moisture source to start, and so usually

401
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 6: it's bathrooms kitchen. Is that sort of thing. The only

402
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 6: recommend big recommendation I have is do not put them

403
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 6: on the counter, even if that's where you're seeing the ants.

404
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 6: Crawling around, because when you put the bait station out

405
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 6: that the ants that are scouting for food are going

406
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 6: to tell all their other friends. But that's where the

407
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 6: food is, and then you're going to have the super

408
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 6: Highway of ants. And you don't want that on your counter,

409
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 6: so put that down on the floor, on the floor

410
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 6: where you're seeing it.

411
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, listen when I said the ants are

412
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: phenomenal little creatures, and you brought up about your base

413
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: stage and the rescue and control product that we're talking

414
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: about having protein and sugars, because depending on what the

415
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: temperature is, those sort of guys change, they change their

416
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: food source.

417
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 3: Right, that's correct.

418
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, and different ants are looking for different things. Oh,

419
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 6: some are feeding one part of the nest and another

420
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 6: part of the s so you need to be able

421
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 6: to feed more parts of the colony to knock it back.

422
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 6: And so you have and you're a different different temperature

423
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 6: of the time of year. If they are growing more

424
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 6: ants than any more proteins.

425
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's what I mean by they're so phenomenal,

426
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: They really are. So so we put the bait stations

427
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: out and we attract ants. So and I know exactly

428
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: what you mean. I've used your product. It works fantastically,

429
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: but you kind of freaked the first day or two

430
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: you put it out. I had them where they were

431
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: getting in through a wall in the bathroom, and that's

432
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: the first place I saw them. Then we start, you know,

433
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: then we started keeping our eyes open. You started finding

434
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: them in the kitchen and everything else, but you could

435
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: you could tell they were coming from that bathroom area.

436
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: I put that trap out. Then I woke up and

437
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: my wife is just looking at me, like, look what

438
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: you've done now? And I go, well, they found there,

439
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: they found their makeed Donald's. I mean, they're they're happy,

440
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: they're having a great time. This is exactly what we

441
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: want to do. And it was about three days and

442
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: that population just started dwindling. And I guess that's what

443
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: usually happens. And how long does it take to get

444
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: rid of them?

445
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 6: You know, it depends on the size of the colony.

446
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 6: That sounds like a pretty good size. We usually see

447
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 6: the mob the bait station and within a day or

448
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 6: two it's died down and you don't see anymore. At

449
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 6: about three days, that tells you you've got a pretty good

450
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 6: sized colony, and so you've got to keep that bait

451
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 6: station active, keep an eye on it. Is there enough?

452
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 6: Is there enough bait still left in the bait station

453
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 6: after a few days that you've got a mobbing like that,

454
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 6: replace it if if you've got a large colony, So

455
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 6: it depends on the size of the colony. If they

456
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 6: keep feeding them, yeah, yeah, exactly, keep feeding them and

457
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 6: then it should be within a few days it knocks

458
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 6: it back. But you're right that it does. It is unnerving. Yeah,

459
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 6: you think you're trapping them, and know what you're trying

460
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 6: to do. If you want them to come right, you

461
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 6: want them to tell other friends because they are taking

462
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 6: it back, and you want them to be able to

463
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 6: carry the bait. And what they're doing is they're carrying

464
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 6: it right there at their mouth back and so you

465
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 6: want it to be kind of that little like solid

466
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 6: jelf onam. But you're right. They are fascinating creatures.

467
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, how they tell each.

468
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 6: Other to go there, they're all looking for different foods

469
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 6: and they've all got a job. And yeah, they are

470
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 6: very organized.

471
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: Well, we're starting to decorate for Thanksgiving. Oh we're gonna

472
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: throw a party for him.

473
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go.

474
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: God, it won't be long, probably somewhere in the United States.

475
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: This is a problem pretty much right now and if

476
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: it's not right now, will be in the next week

477
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: or two. Is carpenter bees those things that look like

478
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: big jet liners flying around your shed or your wood deck.

479
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: Is there anything we can do to prevent them? Or

480
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: once we see them, how do we eliminate them?

481
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we have a trap for those, and

482
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 6: we recommend putting them out. The carpenter be traps right

483
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 6: when you start seeing them flying around, or before that,

484
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 6: when you know it's about that time, because what they're

485
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 6: doing is they're looking for their next the next site,

486
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 6: and you don't want them drilling holes in your structures,

487
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 6: your ducks, any of that. So it's a sticky trap

488
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 6: and you just you put it out, and you put

489
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 6: it out right where you expect them or you know

490
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 6: they're going to try and start cause damage or around

491
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 6: your wood structures to protect them, and you put them

492
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 6: right right in there with it.

493
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Those bees, those carpenter bees, they're frightening creatures. They're big.

494
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: They as big as my thumb.

495
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're big. The surry it's yeah, they're a little unerving, and.

496
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: They're drilling holes. They drill the most. They do a

497
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: better hole drill than black and deck or does you know.

498
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 6: You're right, You're right they do. It's a perfectly circular

499
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 6: hole and you think, oh wow, what did that now?

500
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 6: A carpenter bee.

501
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're not really spraying any chemicals and that's

502
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: a plus the trap again, have used them with much success.

503
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: It's a it's a wild looking thing. It's yellow and

504
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: green and about what nine ten inches long and maybe

505
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: an inch and a half wide. But they're attracted to

506
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: that big time.

507
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 6: They are. They are. We actually scan the retina of

508
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 6: insects when we're starting to develop products to determine which

509
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 6: colors and patterns they find most attractive. So underneath the

510
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 6: glue layer is a specific pattern and colors that those

511
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 6: carbon the bees find most attractive, and so that draws

512
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 6: them to the glue as well, so they just fly

513
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 6: right into it as well.

514
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I've had people call the show and say, well, like,

515
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: how many bees does it trap? Because there's like, I

516
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: don't know, there's like five six a bunch of bees

517
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: flying around my wood shed. Well, how many bees will

518
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: it attract? Do you have to change it out very often?

519
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: Or how does that work.

520
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 6: Well, it's outside and it's a sticky trap. So I'd

521
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 6: say after about thirty days, you're probably going to have

522
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 6: enough to breathe in the glue, and you want that

523
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 6: glue to be nice and sticky, to replace it every

524
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 6: thirty days if not, if not sooner, depending on how

525
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 6: many get on there. You're right, they're pretty big, so

526
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 6: you know, you could fill that thing up pretty easily.

527
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 6: But I'd say you probably could get You could easily

528
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 6: have twenty on there, no problem and still have room.

529
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, I seriously ill shape.

530
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bag callers tell me they got you know,

531
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen bees on there. Do I need to

532
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: change it? And I said, if laws are still attracted, let.

533
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 6: It go absolutely, and as long as it's still sticky,

534
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 6: and it might steel sticky to you, but you think

535
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 6: about how large a carpenter bee is, definitely change it

536
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 6: monthly at the very least.

537
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, how about here's a honest to goodness, just

538
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: had this discussion about mouse traps, sticky mouse traps, and

539
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: it kind of reminded me here, if somebody bought some

540
00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: of those carpenter bee uh traps, the rescue traps last

541
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: year and haven't used it, but stored them in a garage.

542
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: Many parts of the country had a wild and crazy winter,

543
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: cold and then hot and droughts. Does storage and temperature affect.

544
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 6: That glue, No, not unless it gets We test the

545
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 6: glue to a pretty high temperature because if you think

546
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 6: about when we're transporting it across the country in.

547
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: Like a hot truck or that's a good point.

548
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 6: Extreme heat will eventually run the glue. But we test

549
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 6: it to a pretty high temperature. So in a garage,

550
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 6: you're just fine.

551
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: So we can use it.

552
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah, with the glue. With the glue trops,

553
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 6: it's a matter of keeping them protected from from dust

554
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 6: and as long as the packaging is still on it,

555
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 6: it's just fine.

556
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: It would be good good. Well, what other kind of

557
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: things do we have to start worrying about. I guess

558
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: hornets and was will be waking up?

559
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 6: Huh yeah, yellowjackets there are we here in Spokane, Washington.

560
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 6: We started seeing the first paper lost make their make

561
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 6: their way out. So you see the queens. They light

562
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 6: like ants that have queens. You also have queens in wasts.

563
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 6: Hornets and yellow jackets. They the queens come out of hibernation,

564
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 6: and they are going to start looking for their nest sites.

565
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 6: They're going to start checking out you're depending on which

566
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 6: which species it is, they're going to look under your

567
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 6: the eaves of your house, underneath your deck. They're gonna

568
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 6: find all kinds of good little places yellow jackets like underground.

569
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 6: So they're gonna start looking underneath ground, inside retaining walls.

570
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 3: That sort of thing.

571
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 6: I didn't see them too through cult and they will

572
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 6: go in between in a wall void, uh on an

573
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 6: extra year wall of your house. Yeah, they they're they're resourceful.

574
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: Hornet or something gets behind the shutters.

575
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 6: Oh sure, yeah, sure, yeah are you yeah, yeah, yeah,

576
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 6: depending on which one take awafts that have just emerged

577
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 6: in Washington right now. They they make that upside down

578
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 6: umbrella looking next the open cells that you can see

579
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 6: kind of like they look kind of like honeycomb open cell.

580
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: And I get little ones on the edge of the shutter.

581
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah. They're the first to emerge. And then

582
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 6: after that you're going to start seeing the yellow jackets

583
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 6: start waking up and they yeah, they're all they're looking

584
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 6: for where to set up shop.

585
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to met my house, so what

586
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: kind of rescue trap do I need for those?

587
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, So we have the standard that we've had for

588
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 6: forty plus years is the rescue yellow jacket trap. That's

589
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 6: the Neon yellow cylindrical one, and we all have a

590
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 6: bag version that one that's going to do your yellow

591
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 6: jacket queens. And you get those out just as soon

592
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 6: as your weather starts getting warmed up just just a

593
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 6: little bit. Like right around here, we start seeing the

594
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 6: paper offs right around fifty five, and the moment we

595
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 6: get consistent fifty five sixty degrees, we start seeing the

596
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 6: yellow jackets as well. And that's so the moment you

597
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 6: start seeing the first signs of spring, get those out.

598
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 6: And we also have a faped hornet and yellow jacket

599
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 6: trap called the right right right. That one takes out

600
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 6: the guesswork a little bit more depending on what you have.

601
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 6: Get that one out right right at those very very

602
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 6: first signs of spring, because paper wasps they will they

603
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 6: will start coming out in the very very early cold

604
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 6: weather that we that we're having right now, and you

605
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 6: know those that we also have a sticky trap kind

606
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 6: of like for the carpenter bees, similar to that for

607
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 6: the wash the hornets, the yellow jackets, you can put

608
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 6: those out as well. The only thing you need to

609
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 6: be careful of with the sticky trap is okay, with

610
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 6: carpenter bees, you're putting it out in the wood structure.

611
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 6: You're putting it out on a man made structure. That's

612
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 6: the best. You don't want to compete with plamps and

613
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 6: things like that with things starting to come out, because

614
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 6: you also want to be wary of birds and wildlife

615
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 6: getting in with the sticky track, So don't hang don't

616
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 6: hang the stiky tracks from your tree. You can hang

617
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,799

Speaker 6: the fly traps, even hanging those from the trees, no problem.

00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 6: But the sticky ones. Keep those close to the house ease,

620
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 6: don't put them next to your bird feeders that sort

621
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 6: of thing. Make sure that they are in a separate spot.

622
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 6: But right under those eaves where the paperwoffs start making

623
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 6: those nests, it's a great spot for a trapstick.

00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,760

Speaker 1: got Charlie, Charlie, welcome.

698
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got my first dick. After all these years,

699
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 7: I've never hit anything of the patio. The deck was

700
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 7: put down about it a little over a year ago,

701
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 7: and uh the guy stained it at that time, and

702
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 7: from what I understand, he stained it right away after

703
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 7: he put it down. Uh, it's it's looks like if

704
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 7: I don't do something now, it's going to start splintering

705
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 7: up on me.

706
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: The wood would begin to splinter. Is that what you're saying?

707
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, right now you can still walk on it bare

708
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 7: put it, but you can see it's the way it's

709
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 7: gonna it'll be splintering pretty soon.

710
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: Okay, what did he put and it's been a year

711
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: and it's been stained for you know, maybe ten eleven

712
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 1: or twelve months ago. Yeah, is it a semi transp

713
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, is it a semi transparent stain?

714
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: Yes?

715
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: And what color is it?

716
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 7: It's brown?

717
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's good if you're going.

718
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 7: To tell me just a light brown color, you know, if.

719
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: You're going to tell me clear, I was going to

720
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: tell you probably better stain it again. So what does

721
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: the damage to pressure to your wood? Is the sun?

722
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily the rain and semi transparent stains. Depending

723
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: on how much sun it gets during the course of

724
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: a day and the quality of stain you got, you

725
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: could get anywhere from one to two years to two

726
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:30,919
Speaker 1: to three years to three to four years. So when

727
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: you say it looks like it's going to start splintering,

728
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 1: what's the telltale signs there?

729
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 7: It's just kind of.

730
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 3: It.

731
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 7: You can just tell the wood is a little separating

732
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 7: in little places.

733
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably probably going to do that to a degree.

734
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 7: It looks like it's you know, like there are sections

735
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,919
Speaker 7: where it's like the size of your hand. You can

736
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 7: you can tell it's I noticed the difference after the

737
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 7: snow was off of it.

738
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's what I would do. First of all, you

739
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: want to make sure I mean staining helps it protects it,

740
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: but you can also overstain it, which will create a

741
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: bigger problem. Okay, So the first thing I would do is,

742
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: you know, when the sun's out and things dry out

743
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: and everything, just get a tea spoon with some water

744
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: in it and just put it on the deck in

745
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: different areas. If that water soaks into the wood, you

746
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: can go ahead and restain it. It'll add extra protection

747
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: to it. If it doesn't soak in, you're really going

748
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: to have to leave it alone. That that is kind

749
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 1: of the cursor of pressure treated wood and semi transparent stains.

750
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: So that sun is drying that wood out, that wood

751
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: will have a tendency to crack a little bit as

752
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: it you know, it begins to shrink. But just watch

753
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: it and but don't put stain on there. If it

754
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: can't absorb the moisture or it will lay on the surface,

755
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: it'll start peeling and it'll be a problem. So that's

756
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: that's what you want to do there, Charlie and I

757
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,480
