everybody welcome how you doing welcome to the live stream Tuesday 8 p.m. every Tuesday we're live this week I got a special treat for you this week is pest control for the people pest control for the people it's a fall we just starting to get those cold nights so you know I'm at the northeast up here and hey Jessica so welcome to the stream so we're up here in the northeast we had a couple of cold nights last night and a couple nights ago where it went down to 50 degrees and you know basically that takes all those pests and triggers in them to get prepared for winter where they're gonna either over winter in your house or they're gonna be searching for food and they're gonna expand their range in the case of mice and you know rodents and whatnot they're gonna expand their range when they get cold because they want to stockpile food so they're gonna you know bring it back to their nest to stockpile it up we're gonna talk about all of that kind of stuff and if you have any questions pest control I'm a licensed pest control technician in the state of New York okay I don't know everything but I know what I do and I know I can answer your questions I do with most of what I use is gonna be all natural stuff okay essential oils Cassantamum plant and all that kind of good stuff hey Jennifer how you doing Jennifer thank you for stopping by appreciate it so we're gonna meet with all kinds of essential oils cedar and clove oil rosemary let's not get too deep right but also you got the Cassantamum plant that's very good you got borate salts or natural salts borate and you got the clove oil what else we got we got this one has clove oil and cottonseed oils you know you got a lot of good stuff and you got something called pyrethrin which is made out of Cassantamum plant but anyway we'll get into that but the first thing I got in my carousel today is the deathwish coffee again the deathwish coffee the most strongest coffee strongest world's strongest coffee but never bitter this stuff is so smooth I love it I drink I drink it all day long like I'm a K cup guy you know so I drink it with the pods giving it the exact serving that I want with the exact water that I want I know exactly what I'm getting you know you can get the grinds and and or the whole bean or whatever right now they got pumpkin spice out which I'm not a pumpkin guy I don't know what do you think you guys you guys in the chat you guys pumpkin guys I'm more of an apple apple guy I'm an apple guy you know anyway if you're watching us on Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn come on over to Amazon we're gonna have some items in the in the carousel that I'm gonna run through we're gonna talk about pest control we're gonna talk about pest control in your house and then press proofing your house and getting ready for the fall okay and what you need to do and what's our things to look out for so that's the kind of stuff that interests you as we're gonna be talking about today of course we're gonna be drinking deathwish coffee while we do it so like I said the first thing that happens is you know starts to get cold at night and and mice will start to expand their range and go further mice are chewers they're gonna chew holes if there's a small hole they're gonna chew it make it bigger they have the number one sentence smell so they're gonna smell stuff and they're gonna find ways and they track each other through the smell you know that cuz they you know that they poop and they pee as like all over the place every 10 feet they're pooping and they're peeing as they go that's a trail of scent that they leave so the ones on the outside can follow that trail of poop and pee and follow it right into your house if they even though you're catching the ones in your house the ones on the outside can find that trail and run right in and I'm gonna show you some videos of them coming in you're gonna be interested but one of the first things you want to do is you're gonna get what's called a bait station and I got one right here it's hard plastics protective bait station they're a good company this is hard plastic so it's small entrances over here so is that the mice can get in but your cat can't get in your dog can't get in nothing like that and you can need a special key to open it up so you open that up and I'll show you it's got a chamber in here where you put the block of for the bait so you put the bait in here and the mouse goes in there and you choose these can only expose that little bit of debate so then and when you check it you can rotate the bait and you can tell from week to week you know how about how if it's more or less or if you're catching up to the population or if they're catching up to you right and you put these in your basement you would put them you've got these so you put what I would suggest if you get a finished basement you're gonna put them in a drop ceiling in the basement or in your utility closet so you know where your water tanks are where your where your utilities come in and out of the house your air conditioner your your electric your gas and your water those things are coming into your house is good you know then of course you got your hose line and some of you got a stone foundation you're gonna worry about stone foundation but anyway you're gonna put these up on the sill plate in the basement right because they're gonna that's where they're gonna come in they're gonna come in along the sill they're gonna run across the sill they're gonna they're gonna follow your wires they're gonna follow your plumbing and that's how they're gonna get into the house you're gonna put like three or four of these in the basement one on each side if you can right then you're gonna put one of these on the kitchen sink and you're gonna put a couple of them in your attic if you have an attic space you're gonna put one on each side of the gables of the ends right and this is just to monitor see what's going on in your house right and you'll be able to come around after a week and open it up and say okay I got whatever a little bit of nibbles a lot of nibbles only cow it's empty right because what they do is this time of year it gets cold they're gonna go back and forth they're gonna run to this fine food go tell their friends their friends are gonna come they're gonna keep running back and forth all night you're gonna hear a lot of noise and they're gonna be going until it's empty right you're gonna think an elephant is up there but that's what the what they even though it's a small mouse it's gonna sound loud and they're gonna do that because at the time of year they're stockpiling food so that's why you're gonna want to check that often all right um so you're gonna put those in your house but you know I think the next thing I got in the carousel is the is the is the workhorse of what I'm telling you to be telling you to do is um so you got a crawl space Jessica has a crawl space and again you go into the crawl space and you would put them in four corners of the house they were they'll cover about 30 feet linear so you put them in the middle right if you have four of them it'll cover both both ends all right the next thing I got is the is to protect the the landscaping stations they look like granite rocks I don't have any in here I gotta make my truck but I'm gonna show you a video of me putting them together in a second um but you put these things on the outside of the house one on each side of the house right and you fill them with bait and I told you they poop and pee everywhere they go the mice and so they're gonna go and find these things and they're gonna poop and pee and put a sense to these stations outside your house and you can establish those as food sources so they're gonna keep going there and we're gonna get control of what's going on around your house because except one on each side of the house and once we get control of the population of your house you don't have to worry about having any trouble and having any mice coming in you have less of an opportunity of mice coming in the house all right let me show you let me look at me a second to pop this up and look over here I got I got some dogs going a little nut so you have to deal with it putting the rock stations together okay let's do this one share the screen window boom boom all right so this is the landscaping stations they come in a big box like that there's four of them in a box right and you got to put them together a little bit they like I told you it looked like granite rocks and you open them up and you got to put the rods in this four rods okay and you put the rods in I should fast forward this if I could but it's nice to know you know how to put it together because I didn't know in the first time I did it I put one of these through my hand like stigmata I had a big big cut in my hand because I was pushing it down anyway that was a long time ago but you learn you live and you learn so you put those things in there right and you're going to put the poop tray this is a poop tray so you put the poop tray down and you're gonna empty this poop tray out every once in a while when you check it out okay and there's four of them so you're gonna put all four of them together and then there's the bait and I'm gonna tell you what bait I use in a minute okay but that's what the blocks you look like and you put four of them in there and you put that and you close it up do that to all of them and these here are the next thing in the in the carousel they're also in the carousel they're anchors so duckbill anchors and you're gonna use these you're gonna drive these with a hammer into the ground so and anchor them into the ground so they can't get carried away by kids or animals or whatnot you know you want anchor them into the ground and you put these things on the four sides of your house okay I'm going to show you some other pictures of them too because it's really cool stuff really cool stuff like I think I have a picture of a mouse actually in one here's one she had a screen so I went to check the station and we put bait in it and there he is cute little mouse in the station and you can see they're nibbling on the bait on and starting to make nest in here they direct some leaf matter in there all right now this the poison that I'm using the bait that I'm using is a is a contract blocks it's the next one in the in the carousel contract blocks and this is a made with bromidae loans the active ingredient in this one and the reason I'm recommending bromidae loan is this an antidote for it so it's vitamin K deficiency it's an anticoagulant so it's not natural it's poison and it causes them to bleed to death internally they can't clot right and it's a slow acting poison so they're gonna eat it and it's gonna take three to five days for it to work so they did don't realize what's killing them and they don't become bait shy all right but the vitamin K deficiency is is what's causing the anticoagulant right so if a dog got into it or got a bit of kid got into it or something happened you could get a vitamin K shot from the vet and it'd be fine and of course we're dealing with a mouth-sized portion of poison we're not a dog would have to eat half the bucket you know as even a even a small dog would have to eat a good bit of bait because mice are nibblers and it's designed from they're gonna nibble a little bit of this bait and that's enough to kill him right so I mean it's gonna take a lot to kill a dog all right it's not gonna kill the dog anyway but and like I said vitamin K shot and I've been doing this a long time and I've never had a problem with it pet rat okay be welcome welcome welcome welcome um I do not have a pet rat I mean if pet rats are cool you know if you have a pet but if you don't want in the house that's a different story if you don't want in the house right that's all um if you don't want in the house then you got to either prove the house seal it up and put some traps of poison around get rid of the ones that you know the boy you have is a pet keeping the cage he doesn't get it the poison easily he'll be fine right he'll be fine so these are the the locks the duckbill anchors they used to put them in the ground now again you want to control the population because every five to eight weeks babies are having babies when it comes to mice five to eight weeks there's no like mating season where it's only in the springtime they do it all year long okay so every eight weeks in your house I don't know where you live okay some people live with a wooded area on one side of the house they back up to the wooded area or they're surrounded by there's a park or some people have a cemetery across the street if you're in a rural area or you know or you just have trees and you or you just have a big yard I'll leave me they're out there mice are on the property you won't you don't want to get control of the population because they chew okay your house settles it cracks there's always ways and sooner or later and then this is the biggest thing that I hear I've never had mice before I've lived here 20 years and I've never had a problem like it's my fault right but they found you that's the problem okay sooner or later they're out there they're gonna find you now they might be in your crawl space they might be in your attic they might be in your basement they might be in your garage and you won't know they're there because they're not in the living space but they're there all right possibly possibly I'm actually they're probably is a bunch of them probably is a bunch of them um yes Jessica I know you had mentioned that the last time so um what kind of mouse bait did you guys use did you guys use a there's there's there's there's baits that'll they'll eat it and they'll go 10 feet and drop dead okay and that's a lot of the stuff you buy in the store is designed for that but the problem is if you have an infestation and they start dropping dead 10 feet they're still in your house okay they're in the walls and the next thing you know if you one of them is not so bad but if you have five or six ten of them that will die because you have an infestation it's gonna stink it's gonna stink for a while you know the callbacks you know callbacks think I don't have too many of them I educate the customer and I'm you know I'm pretty good at it by now but yeah callbacks so like my callbacks are basically once in a while it's from noise in the attic but you know lately it's been because the yellow jackets yellow jackets and hornets it's been seasoned for the yellow jackets and hornets and I've been doing a lot of stuff with with the hornets let me show you I don't know can I do that here's a nest removal let me share the screen for you you might want to see that taking a bees nests down if I share the screen over here I put my bee suit on I go up I bag it up in a bag rip it off and a whole bee suit the whole nest is in that bag they're swarming around me in the bee suit and then I'll take my little product out of my pocket and my duster and I'll stick it in the bag pop it in and then shake and bake and that'll be that pop it in there pop some product in there give it a shake and they're all dead within a couple of minutes they're all dead it's a handy thing having suit yep go back here all right so I like I said beekeeping suits are great and then gives you confidence you're going in and I was in one today where I was totally swarmed they were all over me I was actually picking them out of the suit because they were starting to stick in which packs you because soon or later they can pop through if you leave them in one spot but get in get out get it done kill them all you know but we'll get onto the bees and what I used to kill them in a little while but right now pest control with dealing with mice and rats and this here is your standard T-Rex snap trap where you put the little peanut butter in there and they go hit that and it snaps down and gets them it's got the heavy plastic teeth on there and you know you got to check these often because like I said if you catch it something it's gonna stink now if you're using the baiting system you got to let the baiting system run without the traps because like I said they're gonna run back and forth and they're gonna bring the bait to the to the nest and they're gonna feed the young and they're gonna feed the old if you snap trap them before they get back then the babies are gonna get older and come out right you want to bring bring the food back let the bait work right so you're gonna let it work but these things are if you're having a big infestation you want to knock it down or you have a noise in the attic you don't know what it is maybe it was loud so maybe you think it's a bear because or an elephant right and in reality maybe it was a flying squirrel or maybe it was a bat or maybe it was a mouse and you put this up there or a couple of these up there with peanut butter and see what's going on up there right so but again I don't like using these because I got to keep going back and checking them all the time which can be you know it could be time-consuming and get expensive for the customer because I you know you keep coming back at service call now you're gonna walk around the house you're gonna do an inspection you're gonna look for ways people that they can get into your house all right I'm gonna we're gonna talk about this the this copper mesh that I use and we're gonna I'm gonna let me get a share of screen here of the seal out inspection to share the screen I know and this is a boring one I'm sorry if you're bored let me know so this is a seal out inspection so this is the corner of the siding where the two signings come together and they can run right up there a came on Kelly they can run right up there the mice and it's like a highway to the attic and you got to stop it up there and you can see you can see up there that they're chewed through and now they're up in your attic so they're on the outside of your house okay they've run right up this corner piece right here okay watch watch I'm gonna stick my hand right up there the dogs are barking so they run right up that corner piece and shoot right up okay now you're gonna check all along underneath the foundation yep Kylie then that's what happens they get up in the attic and that's what the bait stations around the outside of the house will stop that from happening you'll get control around the house and once you control the population they won't be nobody to go upstairs and take the highway up there and you can see now and again the corner pieces are wide open there right I think that if I go back I mean now you look at the utilities where the utilities go in right now this was done poorly you can take that out and do it right and I look down here it's completely open over here alright mice can go go right in right so you're gonna walk around your house and check for things like this where the weather where the air conditioner goes in where where the electric goes in where the water goes in but the water goes out to your hose and this is the bait stations you're gonna put these on the four sides of your house okay so the copper mesh you're gonna take the copper mesh and you're gonna stuff it up the corners because they don't like to chew the copper mesh so you just take that you're gonna stuff it up there and you may want to put some corking on it and stuck stick it up there so it sticks right and the copper mesh is a good deal good deal to have up there like I said they don't want to chew it so they're not gonna chew it they might chew around it they might if they're inside they might push it out so what you don't like I said clock it up and stick it up there with silicone all right now and let me show you here's the copper mesh all right let's go back to the copper mesh the dog is having a fit out there hope that doesn't annoy you but okay comes in a roll and all you got nuts copper you would think oh my god but yeah just rip it okay and you ball it up right and you shove this into any hole and you take your screwdriver and you poke it in right and any kind of opening that you see around the house right and you that's good stuff good stuff right so but the next thing I got in there is is the gun is the foam gun now everybody doesn't like the expandable foam because it's it expands and everybody freaks out right get yourself the gun because it's got the trigger on it and as long as you leave a can on here so that if you take the can off it will ruin the gun so you wait for the can to be empty you change the can and you always keep a can on here and this part won't go bad it won't get hard right and you got down here you got your adjustment to open it up if it's gonna come out fast or slow and you go around now that little opening you just go around all the little openings and hit it with the foam this thing is amazing I mean you go around looking for holes when you got a gun like this right and I mean great stuff has one and you know who knows but these are things you do in the fall before they come in because like I said as soon as it gets cold it triggers them they're gonna start to come in um population control it absolutely I mean and and here's the thing you know it's not rocket science right anybody can can do this the problem is our normal homeowner will forget it's not on the calendar he might remember this month you might remember the next one things gonna forget and within a matter of two months he's gonna be back to where he started back overwhelmed mice everywhere right so that's why they hire somebody to come out what I provide as a service I come out every month on the clock you know it's time to do that thing again I'm gonna check all the stations make sure everything is good I'm gonna check the foundation I'm gonna walk around I'm gonna make sure everything is good no no nothing to get in and you know inspect of course but there's something anybody can do this is a pretty cool thing that I put in the middle of the stream because you know it's back to school time right and uh lunch bags I mean do you guys use lunch boxes lunch bags for the kids everybody brings these things to school now and you eat your lunch to school and you gotta have something so you know my kids didn't like the lunch boxes so much that's why you had a plain brown bag for them most of the time but this would have been cool to have something like that uh I don't know what do you think I don't know maybe maybe I'm just being nostalgic or whatever maybe it's maybe get the brown bag right I tell you um you really have to stay up on it because if you don't eventually they're gonna find they're gonna find you mice are gonna find you they're gonna chew mice chew right they're gonna let me show you some some videos of mice doing some crazy things okay this one do you think mice can climb this is gonna freak you out all right hold on a second can mice climb of course mice can climb but can they climb up walls can they climb up walls yeah they all cute lunch bags so look at this mouse seen right up here okay I'm gonna he's running right up the side of a house what what chance do you have against him yeah what chance do you have look he's up on the top but he's just chilling out running up and down you know I've seen him run up siding you know now he got spooked so he ran up there now there's no way to go right so pretty funny um let me see what else do I got in here and this one share the screen so this is from a security black and white camera they see the mouse they put these things oh so the mouse can't get up mouse was getting up and touching this food in the pantry so they put these little cups around all the legs of it up here so is that so he can't get up well the mouse doesn't give up that easy right he runs around he's like can't get up there can't get up here he's a hungry little guy then check it out keeps trying though he wants what's up there he wants what's he wants this bag up here right so now watch this oh fuck it I'll just go right up the wall so I didn't mean to curse but it just kills me to watch him go right up the wall like that then he jumps he jumps on there and he's up there and he's right on the pantry no matter what you do know you think you think you're safe you think that they can't get in there but they don't give up they don't give up they don't give up let me see I might have one more that I could show you're real this is mice going around the outside of the house okay so you don't have those rock stations like I was telling you but if you if you have them this won't happen to you but this is what happens outside your house at night now this is like a little repo for for the oh there he is he goes right in whoop now he goes another one he's following the trail he smells the trail he falls it right in whoop another one following the trail oh they went this way okay he thought he might have been too big but he's not that's what's going on around the outside of your house that's what's going on around the outside of most structures okay most structures right and you're gonna where you want to get control of the count of that population so that you don't get overrun eventually like I said one of the biggest complaints I hear is I've been here 15 years and I've never had a problem with mice you do now they found you they found you right well this one here catchy indoor insect catcher I got this sent to me for free to test and it's pretty cool item it's you know if you don't want to use pesticides you don't want to use sticky traps and this thing is um it's a blue light and a fan and a sticky trap in the bottom and they go to the blue light and the fan sucks them in they get stuck in the trap let me show you I got it over here somewhere okay this is the cool item with the green pest control this is the catchy auto magic insect trap okay this thing is pretty cool I'm gonna open it up and show you what comes inside okay there's no insecticides, no glue board, there's a glue board, there's a plug just deposit hey man there's the item there's the glue board in the bottom here this opens up and the glue board goes down here right so now I'm gonna plug this in the problem was I didn't have any bugs to catch right so blue light comes on the blue light attracts the thorny insects and mosquitoes or whatever and it's a fan in there you can hear the fan for the microphone so there's a fan in there and once the insects get attracted to the blue light they get stuck down into the glue board set or down the bottom all right and very simple not toxic no sprays no chemicals not even essential oils nothing it's all natural blue words catches all mosquitoes you put this on the patio or your deck you know wherever it is and this thing is great okay okay because some people are allergic to essential oils some people are allergic to other things you know no you don't want to change the color of lights blue light on a blue lights what attracts them that's I what color would you want it what I mean the blue lights what attracts them they say to put this in the corner of the room where it's dark and the blue light will go on and the blue light will attract them over and it works pretty good when I was using it in the room there wasn't anything and here is the next thing in the carousel is extra extra glue boards green I don't know that they'd be attracted to green right I think but I guess they'd be attracted to any light but again I don't know it doesn't change colors I'm sorry why don't you check it out click it maybe it does come in other colors I just didn't know it but you can go to the carousel and take a look and let us know if it comes in any other color or if you can change the color that'd be nice to know so let me know so now we're gonna change the subject we're gonna move over to insects all right now winter gets cold they start to overwinter in your house they want to get into your attic they want to get under your installation they want to get into your basement they want to get inside the house which warm right they and they're hibernating okay they're hibernating but then they're gonna want to find a place to go so they come around your soffits and they get they get in and they go into your installation okay and spiders earwigs centipedes name all all your creepy crawlies right this stuff the nightboard D is a boray salt all natural boray salt by by nice is and I this stuff is pretty good I you put it out in your baseboards your outlets and take your out all the cover I'll put it in there you know if you go to your basement put it up on the sill plate move the installation put it back there little puffs I'm gonna show you how to use it with the puffer in a minute matter of fact this is the puffer right here okay and you know you just squeeze this and it comes out here then you put it in the cracks and crevices like if I want to do it here I do that and I just puff it right and you would put this around your house right around your basement up in your attic under the insulation right behind your kitchen cabinets in your bathroom under your kitchen on your bathroom sink whatever right I've been after Thanksgiving you know I wouldn't that be great but most of us have to get out and do something for the for the winter I wish everything shut down in January and it opened up again in April that'd be awesome right um but you know we gotta have the winter and winter is fun and if you ski you like to have the winter and I don't mind I don't really mind the winter I don't like driving in the snow if I can if I can stay home when the storms are happening I'm happy you know and what do you think is it is it the cold is it the snow is it driving in the snow what is it that you don't like about winter another thing that I don't like about winter is the gray days because it just seems like it's never sunny it's always gray very depressing right so you you want to want to take it like in March take a trip down south like South Carolina you know that's a good good 12-hour trip for me 16-hour trip for me go down and get some sun in March because by then I'm sick of it you know it's no fun it's no fun is right I got I well like a lot of driving up here in the snow and I don't I don't particularly care for it but the nine board D I'm gonna ask you a question go into the going to the into the carousel click it there's a state that they won't deliver it to can you tell me what that state is if you can tell me what that state is I'm gonna put you on the board to win the $20 gift card which was good she had a screen to the wheel of names okay we got the wheel of names up here all right so this is last week last week's wheel of names we're gonna get rid of it we're gonna get new right we're gonna get rid of all these people here of last week's people right mr. Pazza one like two weeks ago right so mr. Pazza goes in there we're gonna go down and Jessica a so did anybody go down and look a there you go Jessica had the right so keep on is she right is it the only place is it the only place all right the next one we got is be be a we're gonna be giving away a $20 gift card at the end goals hey man how you doing I didn't see a pop in nice to see you that is it does that is it Connecticut as well that's interesting I thought it was just the one state I'm glad to know now it's crazy that it's a boring salt it's crazy that they don't send it to New York like what is New York but that's the DEC every state has its own governing you know like the Department of Agriculture did the environmental conservation and whatever I flipped a pickup truck Kylie in the snow one time it was not fun at all but I walked away I just told the truck completely I told the truck I had I had I had I had a plow on the front and I had a sorter on the back I told everything how do you spell that EL APR I know 32 okay so we got some people on it um yeah I you know I don't know why because it is if you look at the ingredients if you look at the good it's a boring salt you know nothing nothing crazy nothing poisonous nothing you know so there's really no reason for it so that's what we got on the names for now all right we're gonna keep going through so again the next thing in there is uh is the duster now this one's red I've got a red one I've got a green one I've got a blue one I have different colors so is that I know which product is in them you know because you gotta know but basically they're all the same okay and I have to label what there are by law and you're gonna use them you're gonna puff in it in the little cracks and crevices in the dusting right so it's pretty cool and like and you got a little cap on there and this is what you're using your dust products for and we're gonna have a real couple more products I'm gonna show you their dust is as well the next one is I looked I like this product here it's the dry on bare dry on I like this it's it replace the product that I used it though they stop making and it was a good product this one is it's got pyrethrin's in it which is chrysanthemum plant all natural and it's got a silicate in it okay a silicate you know it's not necessarily natural but it's not poisonous and the silicate acts like a like broken glass and you put this out okay and you have to put it out in a fine puff like with the puff duster you don't want to excuse me don't want to clump up because speaking of snow if you're walking on the streets you pile of snow the snows that I'm not gonna kill you but you're gonna walk around the snow right makes sense so if you puff this stuff out in clumps they're gonna walk around it just because it's easier not because they're dangerous right they don't know what it is so you want to be fine so that they get it on now what happens is they get it on them they bring it back like in the case of ants they bring it back to the nest and they self clean each other you ever seen and collect this with its antlers and I mean is intended and stuff well they're cleaning themselves off and as they do that they're passing the product through the nest and it starts a domino effect and gets that done but the the dry on is is is it's active okay it's it's they don't like it so there you if you hit a brain with this if you hit a nest of an ant with this they're gonna come flying it out because it's it's like I said it's like broken glass it hurts them it kills them right away the other stuff the dry on stuff is more passive where they don't realize that it's killing they walk right on and they get it takes a little time for it to work but the but the dry on it really works quickly and it's again it's a dust product okay you want to wear a mask when you use the dust product again you want these things in the cracks and crevices that you have behind your baseboards outlet covers any you know door jams window covers windows window jams all that kind of stuff not exposed you don't want to see white dust on the floor in the corner you don't want to see white dust you know on the on the baseboard everything's gonna be behind in because that's where they are and undisturbed it'll stay in there for a long time all right I would suggest you put this stuff out in your house in right now between now and October right dust product all around your house basement first floor second floor attic and then again in March right March April May because that's when they're waking up and gonna you know so those two times you want to make sure you put this stuff on around your house okay if you have a problem if you have a nest if you have a chronic issue ants spiders whatever this product are all natural so you'd want to reapply them every 30 days because they have a they have like a shelf life of about 40 days in the lab if undisturbed in the wall they can last a long time but exposed to sunlight when the rain and just traffic again they walk through it they're gonna move take it with them so you got to reapply it right so we come out every month and reapply it just because it's natural stuff and it's gonna break down the environment but yeah Boston butterflies here hey don't bust and butterfly we're gonna add you to the real names where's my real names there it is okay I added you there so we're talking about pest control pest control for the people okay now I say that because it's not rocket science right on a licensed pest control technician what I do is provide a service I come out to the house every month on my clockwork and I check the stations I check them I fill them up I provide you know a defensive perimeter with my dust products around something you could easily do yourself if you kept up with it the problem is most people aren't gonna keep up with it most people gonna forget most people are gonna you know do it for a couple of months and then forget and then they're gonna be over one and it's gonna be back to the same thing right um yeah so you once a year check for carbon rents did you have an issue at one time because the carbon rent the life cycle depending on where you live in the country if you're living in Florida or you're living in New York if you're living in New York it's cold winters it takes like 10 months for the egg to become an adult eggs larvae pupae adult right so you might think you have no ends because all the adults died you put out product only only does die but then they're gonna move through the cycle and you're gonna you're gonna have adults every once in a while right until you get through the whole thing unless you found the nest exactly where it is and you probably find the nest from soil dust here I'm gonna show you something I'm gonna let me see now if I can go over to my my YouTube channel okay we're gonna share this for you do fun stuff fun stuff this is a carbon rent nest I busted in Ticonderosa this is a cabin by a lake Lake George actually Ticonderosa and that's putting that dust see I'm dusting it and they don't like it too much right I would say the product works I think that's just gonna keep playing that's termites all right that's to be nest we can look at that if I think of something else but then you know that's one of the ant nest I busted in Ticonderosa termites are rough so you put termite bait stations around the outside of the house that can try to find them and then we put bait in the kiln but termites are hard to find they say in sandy soil there's like every egg it is like 10 colonies of termites at least I'm in the Northeast so that's what they're saying up here this one here Semexa is also this one's good for bed bugs not I hate to say it mention it bed bugs roaches this has a silicate in it very very strong heavy duty stuff dries out bed bugs works really good on bed bugs but bed bug preventative if you have it if you think you might have bed bugs or you might have been somewhere that had bed bugs or you work somewhere like you go into houses and you know places where there are people I go into places where there's hoarders stuff like that you know if you're a service person or a nurse of traveling nurse or cleaning person or somebody that goes into people's houses on a regular basis you know you can sit down on someone's couch and come home with bed bugs and you can sit in a movie theater and come home with bed bugs you can sit in a in a gym and come home with bed bugs right so if you think that you ever exposed this is the stuff you want to use again you want to get one of these dusters fill it up and you're gonna put this on your your your bed your bed your headboard your baseboard your bed frame I might as well just tell you the whole deal take everything in the house that could be washed everything and you wash it on high hot water and then you dry it on high heat and put everything in plastic bins so you know it's clean you know there's no bed bugs and that stuff you've washed it heated dry on high heat it's fine but you gotta leave it in plastic bins okay and then you treat the whole house you open up all the drawers in the in the in the dresser drawers if you drop ceiling I hit the drop ceiling pitch your frames I hate to go through with the with the bed because you know it's terrible what you have is terrible because these things if you get the stuff in the store it don't buy the stuff in stores are repellent you spray that stuff they're gonna go deeper into the walls now a bed bug can go 14 months in the lab without eating 14 months okay so it can be it can go crawl into a crack in your wall and hang out there for a year and then decide to come out and eat okay and what's it eating it's eating you all right um there will be 30 feet from their meal which is you so 30 feet from the bed 30 feet from the couch 30 feet from the chair that you sit in whatever they they hate light so they're not gonna be out if it's bright light they're not gonna be out they're gonna look to get into the cracks and crevices that's where you're gonna find them okay um do I have any videos on bed bugs so you can see I think I do I think I do are you prepared for this are you are you guys prepared for this I'm gonna show you see of the size of a bed bug okay now that looks like oh I can see that that's I thought they were really tiny things can you see the holes in the sheet okay can you imagine how far I'm zoomed in that you see holes in the shoes right oh do you have bed bugs the are you sure you don't have bed bugs so it looks like a little apple seed a little bit like a tick okay no it's not it's they're not much larger than you thought they did that's that's a full dealt and like I said when you zoom in when you pop out that's when full zoom on the camera I mean you could tell the holes in the sheet you don't see holes in the sheet that's a sheet so unfortunately and you're not gonna see the the larvae they're really tiny that that was a full footage you thought they go through five in stars where they get bigger each time excuse me yeah everything that I've gone through so far will work on spiders all the dust will work on spiders the problem with the spiders is the eggs are gonna hatch they're no products gonna kill eggs so you know you always have to wipe down the webs get rid of the webs what get rid of the as the eggs hatch they're gonna move through the product if you haven't all the cracks and crevices around the windowsills you know spiders are gonna be where their meals are which is other insects usually actually I find carbon rent nests by looking for spider webs bees nests I find by looking for spider webs and you know you're around your windows you'll find out where the where the mosquitoes and the Nats are coming in a lot of times you'll see them around the people's gutters because they don't clean them out because they'll be moisture in there and they'll have a lot of Nats and stuff so they'll be up there because that's where the food is right so you get rid of the food whatever they're eating find out what they're eating they're eating Nats or whatever they're eating get rid of it right and then keep wiping down the webs to get rid of it and that's easy that's the way to get rid of spiders all right needs to be safe everything I'm telling you so far has been safe with children except the mouse bait okay which again I told you the vitamin K deficiency it can get a vitamin K shot it's the antidote for it oh I didn't say also with that with the mouse bait what kind of morts what kind of morts you're talking about like clothes morts pantry morts regular morts outside morts and I can't do much for those flying things outside you know you put up a boat light outside we probably best bet from outside morts if you're getting morts inside like clothes morts because you took out a bunch of old sweaters or something or or pantry morts because you got some dry goods in the covered pantry morts okay um I actually have I don't have you get a it's a glue a glue trap with a pheromone and you stick the pheromone in the little glue trap and you hang it up around your kitchen right um that'll get the adults then you're gonna want to use um either any of those dusts you're gonna dust all your cracks and crevices around okay any of those products that I used up are labeled for morts um and you would do because you're gonna want to find out where the eggs are so here's the trick okay all you open up all your cabinets anything that's dry goods cereal power flour anything like that pasta you're gonna take it you're gonna put it in big ziploc bags okay take it out put it in big ziploc bags and leave it overnight and you'll find out which one has the eggs in it because all of a sudden it have morts in it you throw that out all right in the meantime you want to keep everything in there until you figure out that you're good but the reason this happens is because food isn't rotated in the store or you have stuff like I have stuff that I bought for the pandemic in 2020 to stock up so as in case we needed food right everybody panicked I really need to go into my kitchen to my pantry and clean that stuff out because it's been in there for two years and you that's how you get pantry morts okay because the stuff has been there for so long these eggs are in the food when you get them not to gross you out okay these legs these eggs are in the food and if it's not rotated fast enough then that's when they come out okay um how long I like like a couple of weeks I would do you know a couple of weeks you will know you'll know it pretty quickly you'll know pretty quickly I know it's pretty it's not a pretty game that I play so the catch master glue traps these are monitoring traps I don't use these for mice to catch mice I don't like them I don't like glue traps for mice I think it's inhumane okay I think it's pretty disgusting I don't I really do don't use glue trash for mice but these things the the two weeks till we get a you know cereal yeah um but you put these things around all right and you'll be able to tell if there's anything going on you put one behind your toilet you put one in your boiler room or your furnace where you where your water tank is and you'll see if you have crickets if you have spiders if you have ants and that's what and that's how you'll find out if you have these things right um we were talking about the spiders right so this is the the cobweb duster we call it the webster because you wipe and down webs and you you wipe down you know it's telescoping so you can get up in the gutter and wipe down all the webs all around your house right in your basement if you have a high basement or attic wherever you're wiping down the the webs and you can get all around the crown molding in your house and all the corners and then you just get it you spin it and I sometimes spray some of the product that I use in it for spiders and then I wipe it around so that I get it up there so that it's good right um good tool to have right good tool to have this product is very good for spiders as well as good for ants good for spiders good for just about everything and it is a pyrethrin which is safe to chrysanthemum based product and uh cracking crevice you want it in the cracks you don't want it you don't spray this out in the air it's not something you want everything hidden in the cracking crevice again um out of sight out of mind you want it where you're not you don't want it in the living space you want it away you want it away all right um but the ARX is really good stuff um like I said ants spiders I use it for those um all your nuisance pests around the house okay um I have another thing in here nature side air so I'll have it right here just the I thought I had the AR at the ARX but this is the ACU it's a different product this is a contact kill kind of like a raid but it's it's very close to the ACRX but I I grabbed the wrong one um all purpose nature side all purpose this one it's like I said before it's it's clove oil and cotton seed oil all right this you can use this liberally it's it's got soap and water and cotton seed oil and and I didn't think this stuff worked when I first started using it and it works really well a light gentle spray will kill on contact cockroaches uh ants fleas ticks flies bed bugs house spiders aphids mites silver fish european earwigs moths beetles cigarette beetles box elder bugs Asian lady beetles those guys are coming in what we call the full invaders your box elder bugs your Asian lady beetles your uh your cluster flies they're coming in that's the next invader that's coming in the next season caterpillars moths okay so this stuff is pretty cool however and it's so natural you can use this liberally uh like I said it's soap and water and cotton seed oil it's pretty awesome stuff you know you don't have to use that stuff um tip pyrethrin is a good pyrethrin is because they're my base product pyrethoid is man-made pyrethrin it's man-made product in a lab okay steroid steroid bad for you pyrethoid bad for you um a lot of companies will be using these things just tell you it works 90 days we won't have to come by for six months I'm gonna put this stuff in your house why would you want something in your house that you that was gonna last six months I mean pyrethoids are gonna probably be taking off the market in the next 10 years five years you know just like round up you know they get all we have class action suit if you ever use this product you know the stuff's gonna be going the way to dodo because we're gonna be getting rid of it you're gonna want to stick with the natural stuff versus with the pyrethrin pyrethrins pyrethrins right which is like I said because they're my base product all right um sugar ants those little tiny little tiny ants to pop up in the kitchen everybody uses the those little gel bait things I use this little gel bait this is on Frippin L right Frippin L okay Frippin L and I guess some kind of bait product either sweet or oily or whatever it is to get them to go for it they get they they chop this up they bring it back to the nest feed it to the queen and kill the nest okay um again they don't feed it to the queen they feed it to the larvae the larvae is the stomach of the colony ants don't eat food they bring it back the larvae eats it spits it up and the ants eat it and it's crazy stuff crazy crazy stuff ants are annoying and this works really well for them and again you shoot it into the cracks and crevices the thing with this though I will tell you this after a couple of days it'll get hard if they didn't like only put this where you see active ants running around put it down they'll go for it if they don't go for it's gonna get hard once it gets hard they're not gonna go for it you're gonna scrape it up and throw it away and put new ones down a new bead down but you're gonna want to put this like like I said cracking everything you want in the crack or in the in the corner you know out of the way where people can't get to it right this will stop almost every ant just about okay good stuff do we have anybody else that's let's go to the wheel of names so we see who's here if I share the screen and go to wheel of names all right do you see your name we got mr.  Moisture is going to bring carbon rinse, going to bring termites, going to bring any mice, all pests are attracted to moisture. Again, what do they need to survive? Food, water, shelter. So you're going to start to remove one of those things. Where are they getting their food from? Where are they getting their water from? We've got to remove that. We're big on what's called conducive conditions. Let me stop sharing this for a second. Conducive conditions, like we've talked about gutters. Clock gutters is a conducive condition because the moisture is going to be in there, you're going to have mosquitoes and gnats in there because of the moisture that's trapped in there. That's going to cause wasps to go hunting in there, it's going to cause yellow jackets to go hunting in there, it's going to cause spiders to set up up there because you haven't cleaned your gutters. Another thing that not having gutters does is it has splash back. The rain hits the ground, it splashes back onto the house, you can get water damage on the house that way. Roddy, Roddy, we're going to edge you babe, we're going to edge you, where is it? Wheel of Names, I'm going to spell it right, R-A-D-H-A, and it's a cavilar. Of course we're going to edge you, of course we are. As a roof right, I bet you he runs into a lot of yellow jackets at this time of year. I get calls all the time. We can't continue until the guy comes and kills all the yellow jackets, it's pretty funny. Yes, so conducive conditions, firewood against the house, leaves, bushes, trees, leaning on the house, what we call a natural bridge, so they're going to crawl over the branch onto your house. Even squirrels are going to jump onto your house if you have branches, trees over your house.  Bird feeders close to the house, guess what, birds drop most of that stuff on the floor and mice and chipmunks and rodents and every manner of pest are going to be down there feasting on that stuff. Pretty obvious. What else? Conducive conditions. You want to get rid of those conducive conditions, any moisture you want to get it away from the house. Just reviewing here, did I miss anybody? So pest control for the people. This time of year, mice is the biggest problem. Every eight weeks the babies are having babies, your house is under constant pressure for mice. You want to set up some bait stations around the outside of your house, let's go back to the beginning. We're going to go to the protect the landscaping stations. You want to use these, put one on each side of your house, all four sides. You put the bait in them, every month you're going to check the bait. You might want to check it a little more often since it's your house. You might want to go out there every week until you figure out how much is used.  They're going to establish those as food sources. The mice are going to go to these stations and you're going to control the population around your house. If you get control of the population around your house, you won't have mice in your house. That's the key. So that's the landscaping stations and I showed you pictures of them. If I show you some more pictures of them, I know, I'm a one-man show and it's awful boring. I should play music but I'm afraid to get copyright strike. So this is the rock station and it's got the bait in it. You saw the bait in the beginning, let me rewind that so you can see it in the beginning.  You put these things around the outside of your house. Do I have another one I can show you? The key locks it up so you're going to have to use two hands to get the key open and you open it up. There's the four pieces of bait that's in there on the rods and you put this around the four sides of your house. Get control of the population. Now here's the bait.  But anything smaller than me is going to make me jump if I see it run. So that's just going to be the way it is. I got to find some royalty free music because I have music that I can play in the background but I'm going to look into that for next week's stream. So that's the rock station and this is the bait, the contract blocks. You're going to want to use the contract blocks by Bell Laboratories. Good stuff. Like I said, it's a vitamin K deficiency. Now what I didn't say at the beginning was if you have dry dog food, dry cat food, horse food, the dry dog food, that stuff has vitamin K in it. So if the mice are eating dog food and then we'll stockpile the dry dog food, you've got to keep that sealed up in a sealed container that they can't get into because if they're eating dog food, this poison won't work on them. That's the antidote, it's vitamin K.  So the vitamin K is in this dry dog food, dry cat food. So if the mice are eating it. And I get that all the time where I'll move a piece of dropped ceiling and dog food will fall out because the mice have been stockpiling it. Like I told you, the cold triggers them to start stockpiling food for the winter. I've had one woman, there was M&Ms in the basement and she sweared to me that they don't have M&Ms in the house ever. The mice will bring in M&Ms from outside and start piling them in the woman's house. They're going to survive. Food, water, shelter, what are they doing? What are they doing? You've got to find out what they've got. Oh yeah, vitamin K is an anticoagulant, right? So the anticoagulant is what the debate does. It causes them to bleed to death, right? So yeah, you would give them vitamin K for blood thinners, sure. Absolutely, without a doubt. So what do we got? We're over an hour, we're over an hour. So this was the full special edition of pest control for the people, OK? Like I said, I'm a licensed pest control technician in New York. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. We're going to pop back in with the Desk Wish Coffee because it's my favorite beverage. I'm the Java Junkie, right? Now the next couple of things you should be looking out for, mice, OK? Now the misconception is that mice come in because it's cold out in the winter time. They're not coming in because it's cold outside. Mice are outside all year long. I check these stations on the outside. They're always empty in the winter time because there's no other food out there for them. That's why they're in your house. Not because it's cold because you've got a blanket of snow, this high, right? The mice are underneath there. It's just like an Eskimo and an Igloo. It's nice and warm down there and they're running all underneath the snow, right? And they're there all winter long. The deal, the deal with the coffee, Death Wish Coffee is my favorite coffee. It is the world's strongest coffee, is what they call it. World's strongest coffee, but it's never bitter, OK? I love it. They're a local company. I'm in New York. They're from New York too. But what the story is in 2015, 2016, they want a contest to have a Super Bowl commercial for free. So they had a Super Bowl commercial and boom, they went crazy. And they have shirts. They have... This is a mug. Death Wish mug. Or hats. Collectors. Right now they've got Pumpkin Spice out. They had blueberries out earlier. I love it. It's my favorite coffee. I drink it all day long. I'm the Java Junkie. I'll drink coffee. The worst cup of coffee to the best cup of coffee. This is hands down the best cup of coffee I've ever had. It definitely has been. No doubt. I mean, I've been having them in my stream for almost a year now. I've been dealing with drinking it for five years, something like that. But I've been following them for the longest time, but I couldn't get it in the store all the time. And now all of a sudden it's everywhere. You can get it on Amazon. Amazon has it. Get it delivered right to your door. I mean, it's really good stuff. Try it. You'll like it. Put it in your cart. Check it out. Cake cups. Grounds. Whatever you want. All kinds of stuff. There, it is a cool mug. They have a bunch of different mugs too, and they come out with mugs all the time. They come out with t-shirts and hats and more cycle jackets and all that kind of stuff. All kinds of cool stuff. Search them on Facebook, DebtWishCoffee. My favorite beverage, hands down. All right. So going once, going twice, going three times, we're going to be going to the Wheel of Names, and we're going to be giving away a $20 gift card. Now, to win the $20 gift card, you have to email me at Jim T. Mullen, okay, at gmail.com. You email me and then I'll, whatever email you send me, whatever email you come from, I'm going to send you the $20 gift card for winning, all right? Don't everybody email me if you're not the winner. Don't jam it up because you're not playing by the rules and we're only going to have one winner, and there's been rumors that people have been trying to hijack gift cards. Can you imagine? Dixon Sider, thank you for coming by. You love coffee. I'm the Jabba Junkie. I'm the Jabba Junkie. I will drink coffee up until I'm going to bed at night and have coffee all day long. Well, yeah, people try for $20. They want that $20 gift card. So yeah, we're going to do that. We're going to share the screen and we're going to go to the Wheel of Names, okay? I'm going to have to add Dixon, Dixon Sider, all right? So now, does anybody else want to be put in the, look at the names? We got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. We got 10 names, one in 10, one in 10 chance of winning. It's pretty damn good, all right? Does anybody want to get in on this? We got 15 people in the chat so far. That's a live chat on mute and we're going to be giving away a gift card in a couple of minutes. I don't know why the ant gel job keeps getting put up.  That's going to be the next thing now, okay? We're ready to go. I think we're ready to go. Okay. We're ready to go going once, going twice. Okay. Boom. Good luck to everybody. There's a conspiracy theory saying that the last person always wins. Goals. Are you still here? Goals? Goals is the winner. So it's not. The conspiracy has been debunked. Just conspiracy has been debunked. Goals is here. Is Goals still here? I noticed he was here earlier. I don't know. Goals are here. I'm not sure. It's been a good, it's been a real good. Okay. We're going to give it a chance here. Goals, a couple of seconds here. But of course, that debunks the myth, the conspiracy theory that, hey, he's here. Okay. So Goals is here. So that debunks the conspiracy theory that the last people to get added, because Goals is one, two, three, is the fourth person. Okay. So Goals was the fourth person. Congratulations to him. We're going to come over here. Stop sharing this. We're going to pop the Jim T. Mullen back up in there. So yeah, JimTmullen at gmail.com. Send me that. After I wind down from the screen, sometime within an hour, I'll be sending it to you and however long it takes Amazon to send it. But we've had a couple of winners. They can vouch for me. You will get it. If you don't get it, email me again tomorrow. God forbid I sent it to the wrong one. But Goals, is your email address, does it have Goals in it? So I'll know it's for you or, you know, this way I would know it's you because sometimes the email address doesn't match the name in the chat. I just need to know, am I sending it to a different email? So yeah, send me that email and we'll get going. So now, the next thing is Tuesday nights, 8 o'clock, right? Tuesday nights, 8 o'clock. I never told you this one. You go to youdidn'tknow.live, right? You didn'tknow.live is my website. You can sign up for the email list. I'm building an email list. I'm going to be sending out emails when I go live. Tips on starting income streams, passive income streams. My YouTube channel is Sighustle Shuffle. We explore income streams on that one.  If you're interested in becoming an influencer like I'm doing here right now on Amazon, starting a YouTube channel, Instagram, you know, if you go to youdidn'tknow.live, I have a course on there, an e-book that you can get that'll explain to you how to do it and what you need to do and a worksheet and everything like that on what is it you need to do to pick a niche and a subject is what a niche is all for your YouTube channel or whatever you're doing, whether it's health, wealth, relationships or dieting or building muscle or whatever it is you're into, bowling or mountain climbing or skiing or whatever it is you're into, paint by numbers, who knows what you're into, but you can make a YouTube channel on that and get started. That's what we usually talk about on Tuesday nights, but this week we did the pest control for the people, the fall edition. So yeah, you do that. And I will see you next Tuesday, okay?


What's up guys? Joe Holland here. I am fishing with my good buddy Jack today and we are on a wild Maine native brook trout kick today. We are going to fish the state's smallest pond. We call it the tiniest wild native brook trout pond. It's called Blue Hole. We're down in Southern Maine and this pond is tiny. It is 134,000 square inches and we're going to be able to cover it all in one day. We came in last night to check and make sure there was ice. We hiked in and took my axe and chipped away and found that there was not a lot of ice, not a lot of safe ice, so we're taking extra precautions today. We have a rope out on the ice and we have these pegs right here so that way if we do fall through or break through we're going to have to get out. We're not going to be able to fish it very long. Yesterday we got maybe an hour to fish it before the ice starts weakening and giving away. It's really milky. That's why we're checking it today. Weak ice. It's not the good hard black ice that has strength to it. This is the stuff that's very unpredictable. We brought in a sled. We brought in the ice tent not for ourselves as much as for the viewing because we're going to try to sight fish these things and you get a lot better view if you make it darker above the hole that you caught and hopefully the cameras will be able to pick up the fish too. We don't really know if there's brookies in here. We're just guessing so we're hoping they're in here and it's fed by two little feeder brooks that are still wide open but what happens is the brook trout in the winter come out of those brooks in any pond or lake they can get into and this happens to be the only pond on these brooks. State law allows us to keep five brookies over six inch. We're just catching release today. If they're in there at all we don't we're not we don't really want to take any or hurt this little bond. We just want to have some fun and catch some fish and and see what these little tiny native brookies look like. Thanks for tuning in guys. Come along. I think it's going to be a great day where you're either going to catch us falling in or you're going to see us catch some or you're going to see us zero. I'm going to make sure the chest mount's going. You're going to get hurt. Unconsider going down backwards. Just just walk it down so we don't break the gear. You're going to dump it. You'll either dump it or hit a tree. Yeah but what about the gear? What do you want to do? I'm young. I'm thinking on a scale of one to ten on this being a good idea. We're around two. Yeah I was thinking two. But it's entertaining so that's okay. Yeah I don't know what it's going to be entertaining. Just hope if we don't break any stuff including my bones it's a win. Exactly.  Yeah that three pound test will probably that's a pretty good anchor. Yeah it's like bungee jumping. So what's the plan here Jack? Where are you heading? Do you see that little gap in those trees? Yeah. I'm going to have to probably veer either right or left. I'll see which way Mother Nature takes me to avoid that pine tree with that tree in the middle there. Okay you think you're going to make it up? If I'm going left I'm going to have to bail and not break the ice through the pond. Okay. Oh you're planning on going all the way. I'm going to go to the pond. Okay. We got brooch out to catch. I'm pretty sure you won't make it to the pond. I would. Holy. This is bad. No broken tips. Just the broken two broken reels. Well this one's not broken. You think it back. Good idea or bad idea? Probably bad idea. Yeah. Tree. Tree always wins. Check the phone. Phone's good.  Yeah. Nice. All right we're almost there. I'd say don't ride it the rest of the way. Came in yesterday cut these holes to check for ice. The ice is super sketchy. Maybe three inches of terrible white milky ice. But we cut some holes, spread some water on top so it would get a chance to freeze a little bit stronger and hopefully hopefully it strengthened up a little bit since last night. Nice brooch brooch. Good job. Yeah I might have lost some real too. Oh no. No rods but two reels bro. Yeah. Well we made it. Yeah. We should have taken the rods out before you did that. Yeah. I said on the other one I was like should I leave the rods in? I was like no I don't want to go back up the hill again. Oh oh the crack pretty good. Do you hear that? Oh she's cracking pretty good. She's cracking a lack in Jack. Safety wise we have our spikes on. These things pull apart and have spikes in case I fell through and then we tied a rope to a tree. As you could see we tied a rope to a tree and ran it right into the shack where we were fishing so that way if we fell through and for some reason if we couldn't hit bottom which we should be able to then we could pull ourselves out. But it's you know it's about five to six foot so it is over your head or close to it. It's not good ice anyway. I'll show you what the ice looks like. It's a good solid two inches probably. So there it is right there probably two inches. Well actually no maybe an inch. It's as thick it's about as thick as my thumb and oh geez that just went down. Let me get off the ice and then it's it's it's not really good hard black ice. It's milky white. This is bad. This is not good guys. Don't ever really trust this ice okay if you're over your head or on a big lake or anything like that. What you're looking for is good hard black ice. This is not good. This is milky clear. It doesn't have the strength that good hard black ice has. Hopefully there's some trout in here. Who knows. Nice little pencil brookie. Nice one. That's actually a keeper believe it or not. Look at that one guys.  Beautiful colors on him. Look at how small he is. Yes baby look at the size of that one. Oh he popped off I got him. Look at the size of that one Jack. Thank you for letting me know he was there. That's a big one dude.  Nine and a half. Is that good? Yep. Nine and a half. Nine and a half. The one you just missed. Yeah. Guys this is the biggest one we've landed yet. He's nine and a half inches. Super native super super pretty fish. These things are unbelievable. They're hard to catch. Look how pretty that is. Beautiful beautiful fins on him. We're gonna get him back see if he knows how to get back. I'm getting this hole on me.  Yeah that's funny. That was dirty. Sorry there's big ones that are bowl rushing that. They're bowl rushing it. Did you see how I'm just sitting there I'm moving this much but moving it a million times like this look. I'm just doing that. That was awesome. He came flying in. Maybe you're too close to the camera. Another one. Beautiful brook trout. Look at these things dude. They got the stripes on them when they're small. The tiger trout. Well main tiger trout. I'm on fire Jack. I just got the hot hands of it. Yes the hot spot. Yeah maybe there's just a way from that camera. We can throw the camera on this side but I'm not walking over there. I don't want to move my word about falling through right now. So lures for today. This is one of my absolute favorite little brook trout lures. I think this one's made by 13 fishing. I don't know what they call it but I call it a mini or baby rattle trap because that's basically what it is or what it's emulating. So it looks like a little tiny bait fish and this one is gold on one side silver on the other which whatever. I like it because it's gold and shiny and it's got a little tiny rattle and it makes noise and it's the right size for brook trout. So it looks like a bait fish and it makes vibrations make noise and it's shiny so fish like shiny things. So that's one of my favorite little brook trout baits. I've used that for big brook trout too and for little ones it's just kind of fitting for them. That thing was pretty hot today caught a handful on that and then I figure there's no there's no shiners in this little tiny pond so most of the stuff these fish are eating in the winter are like bugs and nymphs and whatever is moving basically. I thought they'd be a little more aggressive but I think we spooked the fish and they're really spooky with us showing up.  So that's the other one there just to have for a little bit difference. Hard to hook these fish because they hit so quick and they spit so quick unless you have treble hooks. Just to let you guys know who don't live in Maine and even if you live in Maine brooks and streams are closed to ice fishing usually by October and you're not allowed to ice fish them at all or even open water fish them if you can like I come in here make a cast here but it's not legal. We actually called the warden service to make sure that it was legal to fish here because if it's not in the book most things apply to general law if it's not in the book but we also want to clarify if this was actually a pond or just a brook. To us it looks like a very tiny pond so we called the warden service transferred us through like four or five people and then finally they transferred us to somebody in here we got an officer who said he knew it really well said as long as you're not on private property then you won't have a problem if you're on private property somebody's going to ask you to leave. So this is actually public land there's a hiking trail right here this is the smallest actual pond in the state of Maine especially with native brook trout. Thanks for tuning in today guys had an awesome day catching some of these native Maine brookies on a pond that I probably guarantee has never been ice fish before I think some guys hike in here there's a hiking trail and maybe open water fish it I found a bobber in the tree so I guess some people have been in here before it's no secret because the interstate is right there as you can see behind me so it's not really secret we heard a couple cars maybe skid a little bit when they saw the shack when they looked over because I'm sure nobody's ever had a shack on this thing either it was really fun catching these native Maine brook trout in their environment they come down into these little pools or what we call ponds for the winter because the streams and brooks will freeze a lot of times and or even dry out but the trouble they're facing and the thing I was really worried about when I got here was there's a ton of otter tracks coming off the banks around the snow and an otter can get in these little tiny ponds like this and just clean them out if there's a couple otter especially working together and that's why we're not catching anything huge one the environment won't really sustain anything huge but two the bigger brook trout are slower they're easier targets and they're bigger targets for the otters and the otters get in here and just wipe it out I gotta believe in this little tiny pond right here there's probably 50 native brook trout wintering in here we saw a handful of different schools today one school had 14 one maybe 20 and then a handful of schools that had like anywhere from four to ten in it they know this pond because they live here every day this pond if you get on a tiny pond like this they're gonna know you're here so that's why we tried to be as quiet as we could we spooked them a bunch of times just by moving our feet or jack's chair or even talking so we were that's why a lot of it was whispering and we tried not to move because actually a couple times just moving like our heads and looking over a couple of them darted away so definitely a closed environment for these fish and that's what made them so hard to catch and they were really difficult to catch and they never really sat under the hole for any significant amount of time unless they were actually there to feed you know they just kind of cruise through and cruise through and cruise through and keep moving which is what most native brook trout do anyway this is the brook that feeds that pond one of them so those brookies will make it all the way up here here jump across with the front you're gonna wipe out dude oh yeah no doubt was it worth it i think so yeah it's gonna be a cool video yeah it was fun dude we caught brookies
