National Pest Management Offer Wildlife Prevention Tips For Homeowners
Posted on October 20th, 2011During fall and winter months, many homeowners are typically on the lookout for rodents — the most common winter pest. However, nuisance wildlife such as raccoons, foxes, and skunks also actively seek out shelter in and around homes. As wild animals pose various health and property risks, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) encourages homeowners to take steps to prevent wildlife from invading their homes during cooler seasons.
NPMA offers the following wildlife prevention tips for homeowners:
- Keep trash in fully sealed containers
- Fence off open areas
- Cap chimneys
- Trim overgrown shrubs and tree branches
- If you encounter a wild animal on your property, do not attempt to remove it on your own
- Contact your local wildlife or pest professional to determine the best course of action
We are attending NPMA’s Pest World 2011 Event right now in New Orleans!

Key facts to potty training your Puppy
Posted on October 12th, 2011Do the words “potty training” strike fear into your heart? Maybe they should if they haven’t already and you are looking at adding a cute cuddly little puppy to your family.
Potty training your puppy isn’t easy. It takes time, work and a lot of doggie treats. Even if you have an older dog, the same rules apply.
Give your dog what it wants
Most dogs want food, and lots of it.
Besides the obvious no-no’s (chocolate, grapes, xylitol candy — all of which have proven toxic to pets), fatty foods are best avoided since they can cause pancreatitis and/or diarrhea.
Beyond this, let your imagination run wild. Use fancy dog treats, string cheese or chunks of cooked meats (chicken, ham, hot dog). Make potty training worth it for your pet.
And give them a treat right when they potty, not 10 minutes later once they’re back in the house. If you wait until they come inside, then they will think they’re getting the treat for coming indoors. You need to make it obvious and instantaneous.
Take your time
Accept the fact that potty training is no going to happen overnight.
You have to take the time to wait past the puppy procrastination until the potty action commences. If you don’t wait, your puppy is guaranteed to potty once it gets back inside where there’s nothing around to distract it. This applies each and every time.
The proof is in the pottyingDon’t let your pup fool you. Make sure you see them in position, doing their business to completion before you take them back inside.
If you’re not sure, you must stay outside longer. Otherwise, when you come inside, you might as well get out the carpet cleaner right away, because you know what’s going to happen next.
Of course there is always going to be that occasional accident and who wants their house smelling like an indoor designated potty area. Make sure to use Clear the Air for Carpet/Furniture when you go through the not so fun battle of potty training.

Keep Rodents Out This Winter
Posted on September 29th, 2011When the temperature drops, people aren’t the only ones looking for ways to stay warm. Pests seek warmth indoors, too.
Protect your home from unwanted visitors this winter with these simple home preparedness tips from Terminix Pest Control.
Seal pests out and warmth in:
• Place weather stripping on the bottom of all exterior doors to ensure they seal tightly. Doors that do not have a tight seal can allow a variety of pests to enter the home and can allow warm air to escape.
• Use caulk to seal any holes or cracks in your home’s exterior. Large holes should be stuffed with steel wool or wire before sealing with caulk or other materials.
• Eliminate cracks or openings around pipes and utility lines that enter the home. These are potential problem areas that can allow pests in and heated air out.
• Close the flue damper when the fireplace isn’t in use. An open damper can allow a large amount of air out and can be an entry point for a variety of insects, rodents and wildlife.
• Ensure attic and foundation vents are equipped with tight-fitting 1/4-inch hardware cloth. This will help keep rodents at bay. Also install insect screening over windows, utility vents and other areas where small pests may slip through.
Check the exterior
• Move piles of firewood and other debris away from the home’s foundation. Both provide ample sources of shelter for rodents and other pests such as termites, and could encourage them to live near the home.
• Trim tree branches and shrubs away from the home. Rodents and other insects can scale rough surfaces like trees or large shrubs in order to access your home’s roof or other entry points in the home’s exterior.
Ask your exterminator for our Earth Care Clear The Air Odor Remover Bags. They will rid the foul dead rodent odor from within your walls, without having to lift a finger. You can also order our bags online.

“How To Get Rid Of Dead Rodent Stink” -A customer’s testimonial
Posted on September 15th, 2011Read about Jason from Massachusetts testimonial on how he was able to completely eliminate a massive rat infestation’s foul odor by using Clear The Air and how he is now a “grateful and passionate client”:
I wanted to write to you to say how impressed I am with your products.
I had a terrible rodent infestation in an entire side of my house. We
had had a pest service come in to rid the house of pests, and I had also
been mitigating all points of entry rodents were taking advantage of as
they came out of the cold from the surrounding forest, and build nests
for the winter. I discovered the location of the nest by the odor of
what smelled like old garbage coming from my 4 year old son’s bedroom
wall and also an overpowering smell of urine coming from the basement
play room directly underneath his room. After identifying the location
of the smell, I completed demolition on a 20 foot by 15 foot area of the
exterior wall of my house. As I had suspected, there was significant
rodent damage.
The condition of the wall was horrific: the insulation was all eaten
away, and there were enormous rodent nests. The worst part was there
was so much feces and urine that combined with the contents of the nest,
insects and bio-matter from decayed rodents, it had all permeated the
sheathing, sheet rock, studs, joists, and concrete foundation from the
second floor all the way to the sill plate and foundation.
After clearing out all the debris, and pounds of rodent feces and
desiccated remains in the basement ceiling, I spent an entire week,
after removing all the exterior sheathing of the effected wall, and
leaving the wall exposed to the outside drying out the studs, and
cleaning it with industrial grade, scented disinfectant. After
replacing the sheathing that was rotting from the urine, and treating
everything I could, multiple times, with disinfectant, I discovered that
after sealing it all up I still had a phantom smell of the nest and
urine. It wasn’t as bad, but it was obviously the same smell,
especially when there was an increase in humidity and the house was
closed up, especially my son’s room.
Out of desperation I began searching the Internet for answers. I came
across Earth Care products when I typed in “how to get rid of dead
rodent stink”, and was encouraged when I saw that your products were
non-toxic, especially having three kids all 5 and under.
I bought three bags and placed them in the large basement room where the
urine smell was the most overwhelming. In just one day the smell had
decreased by at least half. The second day the small was almost
impossible to discern. By the third day there was no trace. It was
incredible! What was so amazing was that they didn’t need to come in
contact with the effected area, just be near it. That was key, since I
had already sealed it up.
This product is amazing. Despite having done my best to improve the air
quality of my home, apart from burning the house down and starting over,
I have a significant peace of mind knowing my children are not breathing
that wretched air from a rodent’s nest. I am ordering more bags for the
rest of the house. Thank you, is all I can say. I would be delighted
to provide a testimony for the efficacy of your product. I am a
grateful and passionate client!

Testimonial: Dead Animal In The Wall Odor Elimination
Posted on September 8th, 2011Please read the following testimonial we received about a foul odor eliminated from a dead animal that was stuck between the walls:
We’ve spent the weekend trying to eliminate a “dead animal” smell from our upstairs bedroom in our three year old home (something got into the walls and died). My little doxie Milo alerted me to the problem and has been going crazy, sniffing and trying to show me that there is something in there L
We tried everything – vinegar, baking soda, ionizer, etc; nothing helped and the 90 plus degree heat today made it really awful! I was ready to call a disaster restoration service or critter control to address the odor.
In desperation, we searched the web and found Clear the Air information; we took your advice to go to Petco and make our own bags. I made two bags from nylon hose and hung them around the closet and room. It’s only been a few hours and the difference is already unbelievable! Even Milo isn’t interested in sniffing it out anymore. I anticipate that tomorrow will be even better.
What a great product – we will definitely use Clear the Air for the garage, dog crate, etc. –hopefully we won’t run into any more dead critters in our walls.
Sincerely,
Lynne P.
Valencia, PA

Cat Urine Smells – Customer Testimonial for Clear The Air
Posted on August 23rd, 2011Once again, another happy, satisfied customer!!
I should have sent you a “thank you” note months ago…but better late than never!!!
We had a lengthy conversation last year regarding my “smelly” problem. You may recall that I was ready to rip up my carpet and install a tile floor. But, thanks to your prodding, I did what you told me to do and used Clear the Air faithfully for about a month. The use of your product did indeed “Clear the Air” and I cancelled the tile installation. This product has saved me thousands of dollars and saved me the hassle of tearing up my wall to wall carpet.
Since that time, I’ve shared this secret with several of my cat-owning friends and they,too, have eliminated the odor.
I would recommend your product to anyone who has an odor problem and I’m sure they would be as happy as I am.
