Showing up on Siri Radar can
Mean Business
Mark L. Hendrickson, Wingra Group
My oldest daughter has the iPhone 4S with the Siri feature that talks to
you. When demonstrating it to us, she told Siri, “I love you.” Siri responded,
“I hope you don’t say that to other mobile phones.” While this was a lighthearted response, Siri can mean business if your pest control firm shows
up in an answer when someone asks Siri how to get rid of mice, or if there
is a pest control company in the area.
It was in the fall of last year when Apple launched the iPhone 4S and introduced us to Siri, the voice-controlled personal assistant that offers verbal
answers and recommendations in response to a user’s verbal questions
or comments. Since that launch in October, Apple reported it sold more
than 4 million iPhone 4S, and in the last quarter of 2011, more than 37
million iPhones, although not all of them were the 4S.
What’s the best way to show up on Siri’s radar? Apple doesn’t say much
about how Siri develops its answers. However, here are a few thoughts.
• Observers believe Siri relies on a number of web tools and directories to
formulate its answers. Make sure your pest control business is on Google
Places, Yahoo Local and Bing Local, and included in listing services such
as Localeze.com. Other listing services include Acxiom (databyacxiom.
com) and InfoGroup (infogroup.com).
• It’s likely that Apple cross references with reviewer comments and data
from sites such as Yelp and Yahoo. Encourage your customers to rate and
review your services at these web sites.
• When writing descriptive details for your pest control firm, seek consistency in the smallest of details for each directory you submit to. For example, if your address is 1315 Taragon Drive, write it the same way each
time; allow no variation in whether Drive is spelled out or abbreviated.
Be sure to use the same business description for each directory.
For further information check out the blog “Understanding Google Places and Local Search.” There’s an excellent article archive here for further
reading.

Now More Than Ever, You Need to be a Professional!
Gary Pietrucha, President – Envirosafe Pest Management,
Illinois Dept of Public Health Advisory Council
After yeomen efforts, unavoidable delays, and 15 months of intense work, The Illinois Structural Pest Control Advisory Council Subcommittee on Bed Bug Report, is now before the Illinois General Assembly for the
purpose of becoming law. This is an important document, even if you do not do bed bug work. Throughout the process a lot of focus was placed on our industry — how we address issues, how we treat for bed
bugs, and how we approach the issue of who is responsible. This seemingly simplistic forum turned into
a platform for every special interest group that was involved, even remotely, with bed bug problems. It
ranged from the responsible to the irresponsible; it had blame assessment issues, and the issue of selfmitigation. It discussed every aspect of bed bug control using an ever-changing industry as a back-drop
for treatments. Finally, it was apparent the only way this situation was going to be brought under control,
and eventually resolved, was through the pest control industry.
Chris Haggerty (American Pest Control located in Central Illinois) and I tried to convey to the other board
members and the audience in attendance that we had
no intention of “devising an approach, or a formula, or
a mandate” for control measures. On the other hand,
we did not want anyone telling us how to mitigate bed
bugs. First and foremost, we preached education until
it seemed monotonous, followed by the importance of
safety. Finally we accentuated our ever-changing research and technology – which seemed to change with
every meeting.
We presented the pest control industry as it should be:
protectors of the health and well being of our country
through safe, precise, professional pest management.
We had support from every member on the board. All
of this leads me to the subject of this article. As this
issue goes on and on, with emotional and legal ramifications, there are some companies and individuals
who are not doing a good job at promoting our professional and impeccable status. Driven by a weak economy, work is being done at pricing levels and treatment levels that are not indicative of the education
we have been providing through our various outlets,
which include GCPMA’s outstanding recertification
seminars, IPCA and NPMA articles, seminars, webinars,
workshops, and focus groups. We are still hearing complaints about the work performed, what was promised,
and the products used to perform bed bug mitigation
work. Quite frankly, some of it is appalling, and a flatout embarrassment.
More and more pressure will be put on us. Insurance
premiums will be directly affected by the ever-growing
number of claims. Remember, we are all guilty by association. It has taken our industry many years to change
the perception of being an exterminator, walking
around with a 2-gallon sprayer strapped to our back
spraying some “secret mixture”, to become known as
pest control professionals. In reality, our industry has
made more strides than any other for its efforts to be
safe, professional, and above the common spray jockey. Use this potential landmark legislation to your advantage, and be the professional that we strive to be!
It’s your career and your future, as well as mine. I have
invested over 37 years to make a difference, and I think
we are on the cutting edge of doing so.
I would like to personally thank Dr. Curt Colwell, acting director of the Illinois Department of Public Health
Pest Control Division and Committee Chair, for his
outstanding guidance and demeanor during these
meetings. It took patience and a solid knowledge of
the subject matter to deal with all the special interest
groups in which Dr. Colwell excelled! I would also like
to thank my co-industry representative Chris Haggerty,
who was also exceptional. My fellow board members
from the other groups represented were a joy to work
with and I have established relationships that will last
forever. I also thank my constituents in the pest control
industry for your continued support, as there is more
work to be done in the council for the next 2 years.
Have a great spring!

EPA Revises Rodenticide
Mitigation Decision
….What it means for you
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has agreed
to revise restrictions placed on the outdoor use of rodenticides in its Rodenticide Mitigation Decision (RMD) that
went into effect in April 2011. The revisions provide needed flexibility for pest control professionals to manage rodent infestations. Specifically, rodenticide label changes
include:
• The distance from a building will be extended from the current 50 feet to 100 feet for
outdoor placement of rodent baits.
• The word “building” will be replaced by the
term “man-made structures”, and this will be
broadly defined. However, specifically excluded from the definition of “man-made structures” will be fence lines or perimeter baiting
beyond 100 feet from a structure. Fences will
not be “structures”.
• First generation anticoagulant and nonanticoagulant rodent baits labeled for use in
rodent burrows will be permitted for use in
burrows that are further than 100 feet from
man-made structures.
These label changes will be seen on rodenticide labels
in the coming months. Pest control professionals should
read all product labels carefully, especially rodenticide labels, because there will be different labels in the marketplace. Because of the variety of product labeling in use,
remember that the label on the package is the label to
follow.

2012 Spring Edition
Entomologist’s Corner: If
You Lay down with Dogs,
you Get up with Fleas
Sara Kantarovich, BA, MA, Entomologist. Technical Director and
Corporate Trainer, Smithereen Pest Management Services
In 2012, when a customer complains of bites, we can’t
help but jump to the bed bug as the evil culprit considering its current epidemic status. We quickly forget
about the pest that had affected the entire course of
human history and caused more loss of life than almost all wars combined: the flea. Although the flea has
not been part of our PCO repertoire, there are murmurings in local pubs of the flea’s glorious comeback. Most
technicians in the last 10 years have had little to no experience with the flea, but the current rise of flea calls
will require that we retrain our staff in how to identify
this pest and how to treat for it.
There are over 2,000 species and subspecies of fleas in
the world. Fortunately, we only encounter a handful, the
most commonly being
the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis felis).
Other species occasionally found are the
dog flea, Ctenocephalides canis, the human
flea, Pulex irritans, and
the oriental rat flea
Xenopsylla cheopis.
The species are easily
distinguished by using a general flea key and a good microscope. The main difference between the cat and dog
flea is that the cat flea will have genial combs that are of
equal length and the dog flea will have the second comb
of longer length.
Like the bed bug, the flea is a blood-feeding ectoparasite,
meaning it feeds externally on its host. Adults are 1-3 mm
long, flattened laterally so as to move through fur and
hair easily, and have a reddish-brown color. In addition to
being a major vector of a variety of bacteria, viruses, and
protozoan, fleas are one of the greatest jumpers in the
animal kingdom. A flea can jump vertically 7 inches and
horizontally 13 inches, 200 times their own body length
giving Olympic long jumpers a “jump” for their money.
Life History
Fleas have a complete metamorphosis life history: egg,
larvae, pupae, and adult. The adult stage of the cat flea
lives on its host. The females require a blood meal to
produce eggs and can
produce 1 egg an hour
or even 50 a day under
good conditions. The
eggs are not sticky and
fall off the host. The fecal matter, pretty much
undigested blood, falls
off the host and will act
as a food source for larvae developing in the substrate below (pet bedding, carpet). The eggs will hatch in about 2 days and larvae will
feed mostly on the fecal matter from the adults but also
Page 6 • Greater Chicago Pest Management Alliance • gcpma.com
2012 Spring Edition
detritus they encounter (skin flakes, dandruff, grain particles). This larval stage will last 5-10 days in optimal conditions. The larvae will then spin a silken cocoon within the
carpet fibers and floor crevices and move into the pupal
stage. This stage is relatively resistant to insecticide. The
cocoons are sticky and are camouflaged by the environment. In optimal conditions, adults will emerge in 2-4
weeks although the process will be faster at higher temperatures. Remember that insects are cold-blooded and
most developments accelerate at higher temperatures.
The flea does have the ability to stay in the pupae for 12
months waiting for a host. Vibrations or increases in CO2
will stimulate the adults to emerge, sometimes en masse.
Adults will live 4-25 days.
Treating for fleas can be a tedious task that may take
weeks to accomplish. Ensure the customer understands
their part of this process, because without them, control
will be limited. The treatment of the animal(s) should be
in conjunction with the treatment of the environment.
Do not treat the animal; leave that to the homeowner
and their veterinarian. Flea control strategies have to consider all of the growth stages and where they are located.
Treating for only one or two stages or locations almost
always leads to reinfestation, because any growth stage
that is not eliminated will eventually find hosts and become redistributed.
“Broadcast” applications of pesticide of the entire carpet
or floor were once common and normal for flea control
but nowadays there are few products that allow this type
of application. In light infestations it is also unnecessary
because, just like bed bugs, fleas are found in certain areas in the environment and are unlikely to be found everywhere so we now must localize our efforts in areas that
are likely to harbor larvae. Don’t forget to incorporate an
IGR in your control strategy, as they have proven to be a
quick, effective IPM approach. Monitoring with light traps
and glue boards might also give clues as to hot spots. Perform a good survey with the homeowner as to where the
pet spends most of its time.
If there are no animals in the environment but fleas are
rampant, be sure to identify the flea and do a thorough
inspection of the property for any wildlife issues. Do not
be scared by flea jobs but be sure to do your homework,
perform a thorough inspection, and communicate effectively with the customer on what they can expect.
The homeowner should begin a regiment of vacuuming. This will remove many of the eggs, larvae, and pupae. Vacuuming also stimulates the pupae to enclose and
quicken their contact with insecticides. Areas that the
pets rest or sleep are those that should be targeted most
heavily because that’s where most of the developing flea
population will be. Up to 90% of the population will be
eggs, larvae, and pupae, not adults. In addition, the homeowner should vacuum along the edges of rooms and
beneath furniture, cushions, beds, and throw rugs. The
vacuum bag should be disposed of outdoors after use
to ensure no re-infestation from developing larvae and
pupae within. Because flea pupae are difficult to kill with
insecticides, follow-up treatments within 7-10 days will
be required. Expect to see some fleas for about 2 weeks
after initial treatment.
2012 Spring Edition
GCPMA To Award
Scholarship Funds
Larry Hanks, Rose Pest Solutions and
Scholarship Committee Chair
Starting this year GCPMA will award $3,000 in scholarship funds to one or more students who are involved in the pest
control industry or whose parents or guardians are employed by a member company in good standing with the Greater
Chicago Pest Management Alliance.
GCPMA is a strong advocate of educating the pest control industry, as a whole in the Chicagoland area, so this was a
natural transition to support those who want to better themselves through a higher education. The cost of education
continues to rise, and we felt we could help alleviate some of those costs, whether it be a four-year school, junior college,
or trade institution.
We encourage all of our members in good standing to get this message out to your people so they can apply to the
GCPMA scholarship committee prior to June 30th. The application is included in this publication and is also available on
our website at www.gcpma.com.

GET READY TO PARTY!
Don Kaufman, Orkin Pest Control and
GCPMA Events Committee Chair
The GCPMA has had many wonderful social functions
since its inception, including Lake Michigan dinner cruises and private rooms at Arlington Race track. The one
thing missing from these events is a great turnout. So we
have decided this year to have an event that will be unforgettable.
Many of you may know our Nisus rep, Harry Bryan. What
many of you may not know is that Harry is also a worldrenowned barbecue chef. He has competed on the national competitive circuit, was named the 2005 Tennessee Barbecue Champion, catered many large events, and
even auditioned for the Food Network. Please check out
his barbecue website at www.q-we-do.com. Harry has
graciously offered to cater an “Absolutely Smoketastic”
barbecue for our organization on Saturday, July 28, 2012
from 12 noon until 4 pm. The event will be held at the
Pine Room, 531 S. Church Rd., Bensenville, IL. The Pine
Room is part of the White Pines Golf Club where we also
host our golf outings. We are inviting our manufacturer
and distributor reps to come socialize with us. It will give
you a chance to get to know them, and all of our membership, on a personal basis. You will be surprised at how
much your business can improve when you have lots of
friends in the industry.
The outing is open to all members, their employees, and
all family members. For a nominal fee (to be announced
later), you will get some of the best barbecue you’ve ever
tasted, non-alcoholic beverages, games, and special fun
for all kids. We will also be giving away prizes throughout
the afternoon. I’m sure many of our vendors will also have
some giveaways (hint, hint).
Keep the date open, bring your staff, families, appetites,
and be ready for the event of the century. Check our
website, www.gcpma.com for further details.
