Liberty Wildlife Rehab Center Update

Liberty Wildlife envisions a time when wildlife is recognized as an integral part of our natural world, and a precious natural resource, to be protected and preserved.

Liberty Wildlife envisions being a permanent community resource, a place to instill compassion and stewardship in young minds and a place to reconnect the public with the beauty and benefits of native wildlife and habitat.

Volunteer

At Liberty Wildlife volunteers are always needed, and a variety of volunteer opportunities are available. Time commitments vary, but usually involve three to four hours once a week. Training and support are provided. People who love wildlife and care about the environment find it a thrilling experience to work around these magnificent wild animals.

While Liberty Wildlife accepts mammals and reptiles, most of the work is avian rehabilitation. This includes birds of prey, water fowl, and songbirds native to Arizona.

People interested in volunteering must be 18 years of age or older. You must have reliable transportation and be able to commit to being on time for assignments. The feeding and cleaning, medical services, education, and facility maintenance positions are physically demanding.

ProBest has donated our services over the past year because it is just the right thing to do and we can help. Without proper pest protocols pest populations such as rodents and cockroaches can build up and possibly take over. So if you can help I think they would appreciate whatever you can do.

Unwelcome visitor in my driveway on Saturday.

I absolutely love when our customers take photo’s and send them our way. Always on guard in Arizona, when the temperatures get HOT out come some of our friends including rattlesnakes. The Fire Department responded on Saturday and gently removed the snake and relocated it to the wash area.

Not everything needs to be killed, the snake was just out wondering and looking for food.

Thanks AJ for the picture and we will start the use of Snake Away immediately!!

Here is another picture of what can hide and where?

Does your Pest Company treat where the bugs live?

Does your Pest Company treat where the bugs live?

     

A few years ago I received a call from a homeowner frantic about roaches, after my inspection I thought I had found the problem. It was long after I started that I knew I had done the correct job. In the block wall next to the garage wall I dusted the bump out and out came the roaches (100’s) I immediately located the homeowner and pointed out the issue and she was just amazed. I really do believe that I could do all my pest control with just 2 or 3 tools. Here is my secret:

  1. My brain = knowledge of Pest Control and bugs
  2. A hand duster
  3. Some kind of dust (Delta) and DE or Diatomaceous Earth.

Agree or Disagree? Comments please!

Andon is the thinker and innovator of the office (always thinking about his work and how he can improve it). He is also the prankster and the trouble maker, hiding toy rats and bugs for everyone to find. But we enjoy his work and attitude. Glad to have you here Andon!!!!!

 

 

Illegal pesticides sold in NY

Illegal pesticides sold in NY.

There are some laws that make sense and should be enforced to the highest degree. This one caught my attention because of this sentence –

The authorities determined that the liquid contained nearly 61 times the amount of brodifacoum, a powerful rodent killer, permitted by the E.P.A. The substance is an anticoagulant, causing internal bleeding in rodents. The chemical is so dangerous, officials said, that its use is illegal in urban areas unless licensed professionals wearing protective gear apply it.

Advertising Wrap-up

My opinions on advertising and what worked for ProBest!

  1. Anything that brings customers to your door is a Win, Win – period.
  2. If you track it, weed it out or continue to use the technique.
  3. Be consistent!
  4. Think outside that box – I hate this expression but I guess it is what it is.
  5. If it works for you forget what others may say.
  6. It’s all about keeping customers and gaining new ones to grow. Think like a customer!

If you need some help, I don’t profess to know it all but maybe we can come up with some new ideas together! Send an email to [email protected]

Marketing ideas, advertising and directories! Pt 4 Pest Control Ideas…

Social Media

Everyday another new ideas takes place on the web and who knows what will take hold and what may go by the wayside? What social media idea is better? I guess know one knows exactly until it happens. Each media is trying to get one up on the competition. From my point of view I think it’s important to just stay connected, look at each media form and decide if it fits you and your company.

One of the cool features I use is Tweetdeck, I can make one entry and it carries across all of my media (Blog, FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIn, FourSquare and MySpace). Also in my opinion its all about consistently – just post once a day or what works for you. You don’t have to go crazy and Tweet every hour, just be consistent in your endeavor.
