🩸 Our first ever company blood drive is in the books, and what a success it was... we even partnered with our neighboring businesses!

Huge thanks to Mallory Safety & Supply next door for hosting us, to Mickie and the American Red Cross for making the whole process smooth and easy, to our amazing HY-C family for rolling up their sleeves (literally), to Travelin' Tom's Coffee of Ladue for the caffeine boost, and to the entire Linpage community for coming together for such a great cause.

Missed out this time? No worries, keep an eye out for the next Red Cross drive (link in the comments)!

Solar panels don't just need sunshine to work... they also need protection from what might be hiding underneath them. 🐿️☀️

Squirrels and other nuisance wildlife can squeeze into the space beneath solar arrays, where nesting materials and damaged wiring can create serious risks. For one Connecticut couple, known squirrel activity beneath their panels may have contributed to a house fire that caused extensive damage.

Critter guards can help close off those vulnerable gaps before wildlife moves in. Solutions like HY-GUARD EXCLUSION® Pest Armor® L-Mesh™ are designed to help keep squirrels, debris, and other pests out while maintaining the airflow solar panels need.

Their experience is a good reminder that solar maintenance isn't just about the panels themselves... it's also about what's happening underneath them. A little prevention now can help protect the investment — and the home — below! 🏠

A house fire revealed a hidden risk beneath one homeowner's solar panels. Learn how squirrels can damage arrays and how critter guards can protect them.

When Jesse Fraser of Critter Control of NH sent us this RAML550 install, we knew it belonged in the spotlight.

This new 5-1/2” L-Mesh™ profile features a 5° bend engineered to keep critters from nesting on and damaging solar panels, one of the most overlooked spots on a roof. Crafted from pure galvannealed steel mesh with a black powder coat finish, it resists oxidation and holds up for the long haul.

That's the difference the right exclusion products make. Jesse, we're proud to be part of your toolkit!

It's been a busy few days in the pest and wildlife world, and our Joe Hayman has been making his rounds around the South! 🐜🦝

The annual Veseris Chattanooga Pest Conference, organized by Glen Thomas, wrapped up yesterday, bringing together pest management pros for networking, product updates, and educational training (photos 1 and 2).

Wednesday's Georgia Pest Control Association Wildlife Workshop was also a great success, with our booth (photo 3) and speaker sessions (photo 4) drawing engagement.

Big thanks to everyone who attended and contributed!

We'll be heading even further south in October for the National Pest Management Association's PestWorld 2026 in Grapevine, TX... stay tuned! 👀

Your zero-turn mower can do more than just mow. 🚜🌱

Add the right hitch plate and you can haul carts, spreaders, aerators, and more, all with one machine.

Before you buy, focus on 4 things:
- Compatibility
- Towing type
- Weight capacity
- Material and build quality

A small upgrade can make your yard work a whole lot more efficient.

What are you going to tow first? 👇
