This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, the place
where local businesses andneighbors come together.
Here's your host, Regina Lee.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hi everybody and welcome to the Good Neighbor
Podcast here in the SouthCharlotte area.
And today I have Socket Neagum.
He is the franchisee forMosquito Shield of East
Charlotte.
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Thanks, Regina.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Did I say your name properly?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
, , Yep.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yes, yes.
Well, so nice to meet you andsuper excited.
Yeah, we are in the middle, Imean this part of the country.
I've lived in a lot of placesbut ticks and mosquitoes are big
time here.
So we could talk, I'm sure, fora very long time.
But I'd love to know a littlebit about you first.
(00:53):
You know what did you used todo?
What brought you to thisindustry?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
yeah.
So you know I mortgage companybut I I get eaten up by
mosquitoes and my wife wanted usto have a dog when we got
married.
So I got a dog and I foundmyself in the backyard playing
fetch in the middle of NorthCarolina summers and springs and
(01:18):
and falls, and if I wentoutside I would have about 10 to
15 mosquito bites in an hour.
So I, you know I had some freetime on my hands and I was
looking at potentially adding abusiness outside of running.
You know the mortgage companythat I manage and I talked to
(01:42):
some franchise consultants andlooked at a couple of ideas and
know I think I saw mosquitoshield and it was a interesting
program, right, the productactually worked, um, and I used
it.
I used my normal pest controlcompany to spray for mosquitoes
and it just the next day I hadjust as many bites as the first
day, um, so when I looked at themodel and I saw that it was a
(02:05):
working product, I was excitedone for myself.
But then I thought, hey, youknow, other people in Charlotte
might be interested in havingsomething like this that
actually took care of themosquitoes on your property to
let you enjoy it well, that'sneat.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So you were a customer first and then said,
hey, I like what I see, thiswould be a great business model.
Well, you just mentioned youknow there's a lot of companies
that do that and I never eventhought about your own pest
control company, you know,venturing into that side.
But what makes mosquito shielddifferent?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
So what really makes us different is the amount of
times that we're coming ontoyour property and the product
mix of what we're spraying whenwe're on your property.
Most normal pest controlcompanies who are spraying for
mosquitoes, or even thespecialty mosquito control
companies, they're coming toyour property every three to
five weeks and the problem is,if you guys live in Charlotte
know is it rains it rains prettyregularly with mosquitoes and
(03:04):
how fast they can breed inCharlotte, given you can have
mosquitoes on your propertyabout seven days after it rains
potentially a little longerdepending on if your property
drains or not.
So with how often we comebecause we come realistically
every two weeks when it rainswe're at your property within
seven to 10 days After.
(03:25):
You know, in the middle ofsummer, when it's drier, we're
there between every 17 to 21days we're coming to the
property a lot more frequently,preventing mosquitoes from
hatching or coming to yourproperty more often.
The other thing that makes usdifferent is our blend of
product.
So we are spraying a mix ofinsecticides that are going to
(03:48):
kill the mosquitoes on yourproperty.
We're spraying something thatalso prevents their eggs from
hatching on your property.
We're spraying something thatalso prevents their eggs from
hatching.
We're also spraying someessential oil mixed smells that
help keep the mosquitoes fromcoming back onto your property.
It smells that they don't wantto have, so that blend is kind
of really what sets us apart, um, and has kept our customers
(04:09):
coming back more is that smell,something we can smell as well?
A little bit.
So you have lemongrass andpeppermint oil.
So you get some of that smell,and then it dissipates pretty
quickly, though, when they'reafter.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So is it one product that does mosquitoes and ticks
or those separate?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
products.
So you have to spray formosquitoes and ticks a little
bit differently and the blend ofthe insecticides that you use
is slightly different, butprobably 90% common between the
two.
With mosquitoes, since they'reharboring in trees and they're
harboring in shrubs that arehigher up, you're fogging a
property call it waste high andabove, because that's really up.
(04:54):
You're fogging a property, youknow, call it waste high and
above, because that's reallywhere you're going to have
mosquito problems, kind ofharboring with ticks.
It's long grass and it's lowtree line clearance.
So it's almost like you'respraying your waistline and
below really, when you'respraying for ticks and you're
kind of pushing like it's almostlike you're mowing your lawn
with how you were spraying youryard.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
In that situation, so when is tick season and
mosquito season here for us inCharlotte?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah, the good part is they both kind of overlap
April is really the start ofmosquito season and tick season.
Andober is really the end ofmosquito and tick season but
with you know how hot it's beenand you know I want to quote
unquote, say global warming,because things are getting
hotter and staying hotter forlonger.
(05:45):
We are seeing people gettingmosquito activity in february
here at times I've had clientscall me and ask me to come out
and spray for them.
Then it's the middle ofNovember and it's 70 degrees.
We still have some people whohave mosquitoes now, even right
still.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
If you're on a program with you and you're
coming out automatically to theyard during typical season, you
just call and you can extend.
That Is that how it works, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Generally for our clients who who booked the full
season, um, we will.
If they need sprays outside ofregular season, we will just add
a little bit to them to comeout additionally, um, and that's
just really for the time andeffort to be able to come and
take care of their property.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Gotcha.
So season is April to October,typically Gotcha.
So what are some of themisconceptions that you get
asked?
A lot yeah, one.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
A lot of people ask does it even work?
I will say, as a, you know itworks.
I get significantly less bitesand I mean like 15 to zero at
most days.
You know when spraying and theresults last.
So I think that's the firstmisconception.
People are often disappointedbecause they've used a service
(07:04):
before and it just hasn't beeneffective.
There's factors for that andthat's something that we, when
we come to your property thefirst time, would tell you about
.
Hey, this may or may not be thebest solution for you, you know
.
Second misconception we get isyou know, is it safe for pets
and kids?
Yeah, because these are EPAregulated products.
(07:26):
Nobody should be telling youit's safe.
That's the first thing that Ialways tell clients of ours.
That's the first thing that Ialways tell clients of ours.
Now, when our product isallowed to dry properly, which
is about 15 to 20 minutes in themiddle of summer, or 30 minutes
to 40 minutes in the middle ofApril and October November
timeframe, then it poses noissues.
It dries as regular and you canuse it.
(07:48):
And these are the sameinsecticides that a lot of farms
are using to actually take careof pests that ruin the product
and crops that they use as well.
So that's one thing that Ithink people should know.
The other piece that we oftenget questions on was it safe for
the bees?
You know, unfortunately theproduct will.
If we're spraying bees directly, it will kill the bees.
(08:11):
But the problem that mostpeople think is that we're
destroying hives and things likethat and this product doesn't
take to a bee and stick on themand they can't bring it back to
their hive and kill their wholehive.
And that's you know.
I think a lot of people are,you know, and maybe rightfully
so scared.
Right, bees are a greatpollinator.
(08:33):
They're a great insect for ourworld and our planet.
And I think when we're tryingto take care of mosquitoes, you
know we're spraying at timeswhen the bees aren't most active
.
Generally they're really activein the early morning, before it
gets hot, and they're active inthe like sunset, dusk timeframe
when it's a little cooler.
So generally when we're comingto spray it's between about
(08:55):
eight to five in the evening andthat's not really when most of
the bees are going to be superactive.
Now, if somebody is worried, wecan spray our natural spray
only and that won't kill anybees.
But the problem is the resultsare also not going to be as
effective at killing andpreventing the mosquitoes from
coming back to your property.
(09:16):
It's like if you spray bugrepellent.
That's kind of the way that Iwould frame it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, yeah, I hadn't realized that you actually are
like fogging the area for themosquitoes and all.
So what happens?
Let's say I've got a nicelittle vegetable area in my yard
in a maybe a container Garden.
Uh, how do you work around that?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
yeah, so oftentimes what we'll do is, when we come
to the properties, we'll talk tothe owner and say do you want
us to spray your garden or not?
More times than not, wegenerally don't try to spray the
garden because people are goingto be in the product.
You know, do they wash, do theyclean the product properly?
We're spraying around thatgarden, around the areas around
that garden, but not necessarilythe plants themselves.
(10:01):
Um, but again, this is the sameinsecticide that they're
spraying on the farms that are.
You know, all of the fruits andvegetables that you're getting
probably have a dosing of thisinsecticide at some point.
Um, yeah, so really, it's kindof the the homeowner's decision
as to what they want us to doand then for ticks.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Um.
I'm assuming like you're reallylooking to protect the dogs and
the pets yeah, there's a mix ofdogs and pets, um, you also
have.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You know, people are getting bitten by ticks more and
more frequently less so in ourarea just because it's not as
wooded as it once was, um, butif you're in an area where
there's a lot of deer, uh, andyou're in an area that you have
seen ticks, then you're probablygoing to have some prevalence
of them.
And just you know, honestly, Ithink ticks worry me more than
(10:56):
mosquitoes in some situations.
But, with how warm it's beenand with all the you know issues
that we've seen, we are seeingmosquito-borne diseases and
tick-borne diseases in NorthCarolina.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Wow, that's a little scary, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It makes you yeah, it makes you want to at least
protect yourself a little bitmore, if you can.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Well, this is so interesting when you're not
working and running yourbusiness.
Well, business says now I knowwhat do you do for fun.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
So my wife and I we love to go out hiking.
Charlotte's got a lot of greattrails around it and I love
going to the trails.
I hate getting the mosquitobites around those trails, so
that's the only thing that I runinto, but we take our dog for a
lot of walks around the area.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
What are some of your favorite places in the area?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So we like to go to Freedom Park a good bit, just
because it's nice and clean,especially when it rains.
And then we've been toCrowder's Mountain a good bit,
as well as Down 74 and MatthewsI'm forgetting the name of the
park right now, but it's likethey have a really nice
vegetable patch and it's like abiking trail.
(12:08):
That is four miles and it'sshaded and so it's.
It's really nice in the middleof summer that you can actually
not be extremely hot and stillbe outside.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'll have to look that up Now.
Have you made it all the way tothe top at Crowder's?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
We've.
We went the back way to make itup to the top, yeah, and then
took the steps down, which iskind of yeah, it's a hike and
very narrow, oh goodness.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Well, tell our listeners how they can find you
and learn more about yourservices.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, so if anyone's interested, we are on Google.
They can search Mosquito Shieldand they'll probably find us or
