 hey are you mad at me they're all lined up all the cages are clean i got their bowls i'm gonna come back later and uh regroup guys you know what's insane the doors are wide open like it feels so weird i'm like there's a bird somewhere there's gotta be a bird somewhere already the the urge to kiss them has creeped in hello my fellow sniffers flighters and hatchlings my name is marlene mcconn welcome to my channel do not forget to hit that notification bell twice ding ding and subscribe to the channel to make me happy okay check it out uh you guys know i have a lot of birds but now i don't have any but in all reality i just want to take the time while the birds aren't here to tell you what is going on nothing that serious i'm just like completely out of breath from moving all the cages outside we are doing an extermination in the house now to give you some quick and simple information one you never want to have your birds in your house when you are exterminating it's a hazard to them it's dangerous to their little lungs their little air sacs you just don't want to take that chance two before you do any kind of extermination i would start with some non-chemical things maybe if you have pantry moths some moth traps we'll go into more about that one day some natural ways i don't know if you guys are familiar with like demescus uh demescus earth i always say that wrong you can try the bork acid you could try a lot of different things just to make sure that like for example peppermint oil if you have flying ants or ants that tends to be really good i actually use the dr bonner sometimes and like put it in the drains because the ants and bugs don't like peppermint oil in our house we don't have screens on the doors and then most of our windows are doors so it makes it very hard to prevent things from coming in and out and we obviously hesitate to exterminate because of all these birds so that's where we are right now well we have like a little cricket colony that's kind of uh built itself up another thing is i don't know how this is going to go but i asked them specifically like i don't want anything sprayed outside because i want them to find some alternative they said they have some alternatives because i don't want poison to be outside in the yard and have other birds eating it and dying and mice eating it and then the hawks or like the eagles or rare birds picking up that like i just really don't want any of that so that's something to consider if you're going to get an extermination in your house as far as the bird toys and things like that we have everything sealed up in lids i'm moving all of the cages out and i'll be washing all of the bowls where are the birds they are all at a friend's house we set up and watched all of the cages move them over there if you don't know where else to put your birds you can board them up at a vet probably most of you don't have as many birds as i do but some of you probably do so it's going to be a little bit easier hey a friend can you watch my bird we watched i luka megan's bird while they were doing an extermination all of the bowls food purchase all of that has to be removed from the premises it has to be cleaned it has to be somewhere sealed just be aware of what you have anything that's like paper or wood can really absorb that scent too and then they go chewing it so if you have come home and someone's exterminated and you want to throw all that away i've heard of that happening to people where they come home and the roommate has exterminated they knew enough to move the bird but they didn't know they were going to do it in a certain room so you just want to maybe start afresh it's also a good opportunity to start fresh i know when george sees this wall now i i wouldn't be surprised if he gets in the mode of we might as well paint the wall we'll see what happens there how long should you have your birds out we're gonna definitely have the birds out for at least 24 hours the guy that came before he said oh an hour is good but again like just don't put your birds in their hands you want to make sure also that there's no scent no smell nothing when you bring your birds back in so that would be an important factor for you to know the longer the better especially when you have smaller birds and they have like smaller respiratory systems they're just highly sensitive also guys don't forget to remember little things like their food we store all of their food in a deep freezer just to make sure that there's generally no bugs in it some of the like some of the larger nuts that we get for rocky you just never know so we basically freeze everything don't forget the food the food containers all of that make sure you get it to uh relatively safe place anything that they ingest any vitamins everything should just be thrown out and start afresh as far as the food and things that are in the bowls you definitely do not want any exposure to any of that same with cuddle bones and calcium sticks and all that as well very important you see guys like and i didn't want to do anything because of the birds yeah well okay uh so how long should the birds be gone for um at least a day or two depending on how you want to it's depending on how much you feel comfortable with it typically legally it's supposed to be about i think for the six hours but i say a day just keep things alive do they train you to tell people about birds um if we are trained to ask for the birds and make sure there are no birds present you are yeah it depends on the company and what they want to do um also do i have traps for the flying ants upstairs um we are ants in general ants in general these are not like i don't know if they're regular ants though yeah they look like termites they think they're ants yeah there's wings they follow an ant trail well termites do too they termites follow ants in a trail no but they look like ants and they follow each other yeah no i kind of see what you're saying but my understanding is that termites wouldn't follow ants typically yeah but these aren't little tiny ants but do you think the other ones are also termites without wings baby ants yeah baby termites no they're baby termites do baby termites not have wings yeah so no but you know baby termites don't have wings no no only the oh my god no termites with wings and ants with wings are typically males and so if you took a look at the wings depending on if they're symmetrical or asymmetrical or not matching they it will tell you what species it is i can't remember if it's on my head because i'm kind of on the spot but but i don't they're are yes and do they go in an ant trail typically on the outside yes if they're in normal colony inside but inside they follow a path they all follow a path termites do the same thing they're you social insects they do roughly the same thing so they look about at this point termites are actually ants i can take a look but a little bit the day if you have a picture i got a picture i can tell you i'm gonna tell you something they communicate it so when one was returning it touched the face of every other single one and that was cool it wasn't like the ant just was like oh i'm coming this way and you're going this way it could it touched the face of every single yes this is yeah because it's trying yeah exactly it's trying to say hi it's just passing information rule yeah and that's why i think it was an ant because they're the same thing how do you know what do you know i really don't think they do no they don't i'm pretty no it's pretty much an ant communication i'm pretty sure i think i think i think it was talk to ants of canada did you really well they're my friend we collapsed because he got a bird oh i got a picture of this ant thing and you gotta solve it because because this is like a bit if it's termites that's a whole other problem this is a wing shot you see though that's like an ant head right there these look like ants yeah yeah these are ants these aren't termites at all yeah i know my stuff do you though do you i told you it's an ant yeah these are ants right there yeah i knew it from the first time can i see those pictures yep yeah they're totally doctored yeah you saw me doctor right now this is an ant that's an ant okay how do you know it's an ant so you see the wings yeah there's a symmetrical i mean termites and not yeah they're slightly different okay i'm not worried about not much but she is what do you mean they're conglomerate all around my makeup they're all over they're all over on your makeup yeah and they disappear after like a day but there's always like one day is it seasonal or is it is it overall it's seasonal but during the season they have this moment where they do that thing and then they go away my understanding what usually happens is i think i was telling her a slightly earlier um that there's like a mating season where all the male ants are just like flying all over the place and then they're not selected and they die they're coming from somewhere but the main point here is that i'm correct he's like therapy for our ant problems the grout hey are you mad at me okay you want to see daddy he's her daddy she heard you uh she left she's heard you soon as she heard you raki can you open this coat they're once dwelled on this earth creatures so strange and wondrous that 65 million years after their extinction they still excite the imagination of man join us now for this first time ever look at a world authentically recreated especially for this program the world of the dinosaur
