Details

Andrew Nowinski, a retired Termite and Pest Controller, will demonstrate how to eliminate all types of bugs in and around offices and homes. (Healthy, bug-free plants require less water to survive, than sick or insect infested ones). Imagine using moth balls, toilet bowl freshener or bounce dryer sheets and other household supplies you may already have on hand to prevent critter infestation and annoyances!

Andrew will also do bug readings. If you have a bug around your house and want to know what it is, join us for your very own bug reading: Capture: If you can’t capture it in a see-through container, place some tape on your bug, without smashing of course, then place it in a baggie or other container. Store: Place container in fridge for safe, fresh keeping. Transport: Bring it to the workshop for identification and pest control recommendation.
