So you have a pest problem?
The first rule of thumb when you discover you have a pest problem, is to do RESEARCH. The internet is a wonderful tool, and virtually everyone has access to it these days (if you’re reading this, you’re one of them).
Not only will this save you money, because you may be able to discover a remedy for your pest problem that you can do yourself, and how to prevent it in the future. But it will also prevent you from calling up your local pest service provider and flipping the fuck out on the phone because you have spider mites in your house, and then demand to speak with someone who knows about spider mites, even if they are in another branch across the country.
Lady…first off, I’m not calling Bob in California, who is probably busy running his own branch, just to have him talk to you about spider mites.
Secondly, a service technician is already on his way to your house to do the service you requested for today, so why you are deciding now to call up and start making demands about pest control, when we have a guy ON THE WAY who can treat any pest problem your little heart desires, is beyond me.
So please, for the sake of sanity, pleeeease do some research first.
Answers to the lady’s questions:
- Spider mites will not eat or bite your children
- Spider mites are mostly attracted to foliage, take the plants out of the house
- They are active when it is warm out and they like dry conditions
- The only safe way to take care of mites on your plants is generally through soapy water, which is also a natural alternative to most insecticides.

Ugh… customer service. I used to work for a inbound call center for various companies. I’ll sell stuff, man, I’ll even read all that upsell crap. But customer service? No way! People are too insane!
