You can find negative information on all pest control companies so I went with the cheapest and have had them for over 10 years with only a few complaints and lots of compliments. We went with superior services.

I use bugs be gone. It works. Has motorize sprayer. For ants I use boric acid. Save $

I've lived here 20 years and always do my own spraying using Ortho Home Defense. One poster wrote that Massey costs them 60.00 a quarter. At that price over the years I've saved $4,800 doing my own which is only walking around the house once a quarter and spraying the foundation, very easy to do. That's a lot of money to waste on something so easy to do yourself in 10 minutes every 4 months. Lots of more fun things to use the money on, like plane tickets home to visit friends and family, eating out more, 3 day weekend trips around Florida, buying more shoes or fun clothes, gifts for kids or grandkids. Why pay someone for something so easy to do yourself. My house is and has been bug free all these years, maybe one palmetto bug makes it inside a year and is found dead. Do it yourself and save your money.

Although the savings is nice there are other factors for one to consider. Applying pesticides or hazardous chemicals could potentially be dangerous to one's health from ingesting or inhaling the vapors.

Here are the instructions from the manufacturer: APPLICATIONS TO OUTSIDE SURFACES OF LISTED STRUCTURES AND INTO WALL VOIDS Apply 0.06% of finished Taurus SC dilution as a low-pressure spray to the exterior of the structure where listed pests enter, trail around the structure or where they crawl and hide. Treat using a low-pressure coarse banded surface spray up to 18 inches in width around doors, windows, vents, pipes, foundation cracks, drilled holes or around any exterior openings where listed pests could enter the structure. Make sure to treat the joint where exterior siding (wood, vinyl, aluminum or other similar materials) meets the cement, brick or block foundation. Treat anywhere electrical, cable or telephone wires enter the house. This treatment should be made as a general surface spray, crack and crevice spray, or a wall void application. Taurus SC may be applied as a foam treatment into wall voids to kill and / or control the above listed pests.

I hope this dispells the errors on Taurus sc.

Thank you for educating me. I will start spraying my property soon
I was looking for a company to do this now I can do it myself
