Dear Neighbors & Guests, Happy Holidays! What a wonderful time of year to be spending in Pocono Pines with family and friends. I still get excited to see that first snow fall of the year, as it brings me a sense of calmness and serenity. November and December are still very busy times in the real estate industry, as many visitors are up looking for their perfect getaway. I would encourage anyone waiting to list their home in the Spring, to consider listing it now while demand is still very high. I have one unique property that will be listed for sale on the MLS this season, called “Camp Naomi,” located on Pine Cone Road, in Lake Naomi. This 1978 camp will be fully furnished, and remodeled in an “Arrow & Antler” theme. I can’t wait for that one lucky family to be able to start enjoying this home. I wish you all the best this holiday season, and look forward to seeing you at community events this winter.

Sincerely,

Michael Dembinski Michael Dembinski

Q A &

ASK THE POCONO PINES PEST CONTROL PROFESSIONAL–

GREEN MAN EXTERMINATOR

Q:

What are the Top 3 Pests That Customers Notice When Requesting Your Services? How is Each Pest Handled in Terms of Remediation?

The Top 3 Pests that customers notice are Ants, Mice and Spiders. Ants are baited at the source of the nest to target the Queen and collapse the colony from underground. Mice are mechanically blocked out from entering the property once they have been baited.

Customers get a lot of spiders by the lake, we have a extension poles to clean the webs along with our botanical spray treatments.

A:

Q:

Can You Outline Your Suggested Maintenance Service Program to Best Prevent Pests From Returning?

Our Maintenance Program includes inspecting the crawlspace and attic for current activity.

We maintain the house for pest control without using harmful chemicals.

A: Q:

Do Your Offer a Free evaluation to Those Who Want to Hire Your Company For Pest Control Services?

The initial inspection is free.

There is no charge to evaluate your pest concern.

“I highly recomment Green Man Exterminator!

They are so experienced and knowledgeable.

I have been using them for 2 years. I trust their judgement with whatever pest issues I have had.

I used to have a bad spider issue but since I had Green Man treat my property, the spiders stay away. They also took care of groundhogs I had around my house. “ ~AMANDA FARRY

A:

“We have been working with Green Man for several years to remove and exclude mice from our Poconos vacation home. They are excellent at what they do. We have pets and young childreen, so their nontoxic methods are important to us and are effective! They offer a one-year warranty on their work, which they honor without question and/or hassle. When I need assistance, I receive a prompt call or email in response. We are almost never at the property when they are, and they have our door code. I trust them completely.” ~Marion Mooney

Q:

If Someone Sees Ants in Their Home and Calls, Will You Inspect Their Entire Home For Other Possible Pests? Is it Common That You End Up Finding Other Pests While You Are There Inspecting The Home?

If there are visible ants in your home, we also look for a source of soft wood that may attract them to this location or a water leak somewhere. A lot of the times, customers call thinking it’s Termites, but it’s really Carpenter Ants.

A:

Q:

What Can Home Owners Do to Reduce Pests in Their Homes Even While Under Contract With Green Man Exterminator?

In order to reduce insect activity inside the home it is best to keep the yard clean of debris and rotting wood, which is conducive to ants. Maintain your gutters and basic home upkeep on the exterior of the property.
