What is best to control bugs in house?

Diatomaceous earth. This is non toxic, and you can put it anywhere. You can put it in your attic along with boric acid, and use the D.E. around the edges of each bedroom, bathroom, and back of the cupboards. All roaches, ants and other bugs will die or leave with 48 hours.

I have found the Lentek and other Ultrasonic pest control devices to be highly effective. I have used Lentex products for many years.

Best guess is that you wouldn't want to attract bugs near or inside your house. The black light and chemical will draw flying insects to it. If you bring them close to your house, they might get distracted by other lights or smells and come inside.

You have to use a comb no matter or you will never get rid of the live bugs... combing is unavoidable. :-(

Lurking is going to buy gnats a death sentence. I donated my Bonide bottle so I don't have the instructions readily available. If gnats aren't included in the list of insects Bonide controls then you might try a misquitoe repellent. Be patient as Bonide absorbs into the soil and the plant that the insect feeds from. It takes several days to see the effect.

Cockroaches are hard to kill. They hide in walls or the inner workings of old appliances. They eat anything (including each other). If you have an active infestation, it will take time to clear them out. To get rid of the bugs, you need to apply the powder (a light dusting is good) to areas the bugs are likely to cross over. The kitchen is likely to be a hot spot because they tend to nest in areas where they have found food in the past. Don't breath the dust when you apply it, but don't worry about putting it around food prep areas. It is safe to eat. If you dust your floors, leave it on the floor for at least a few hours. If you vacuum it up, reapply it in about a week. The dust won't harm the eggs. They can hatch a new generation later, which is why it is important to reapply. When you find a dead bug, flush it down the toilet. If it is carrying fertile eggs, they can still hatch after the adult dies. When you go a couple of weeks without seeing the little buggers, you can dust around the perimeter of the floors and counters from time to time. That should discourage them from moving back in. Persistence is the key here. Good luck! Hope to hear that this works for you. One side note. If you are going to vacuum this up after applying it to your floor, try to dust lightly. A little goes a long way and I have heard from others that too much in an area is not good for your vacuum.

spray over the area where bugs are seen..if fabric based: sofa,carpet,drapery. spray let dry and VACUUM off. do this atleast once per month and you should see a good result..IF spraying on wood areas: bed frame crevices...spray thoroughly and let dry in. BEST TO WASH BEDDING IN HOT WATER AND HOT DRYER. Also good to put waterproof pillow cases over your pillows, although bed bug bully doesn't have a terrible odor, best not to fave it in your face as you sleep. This worked for me but you have to keep doing it even once or twice after the bugs are out of sight. Stories all indicate they can stay dormant for a YEAR. spray over the area where bugs are seen..if fabric based: sofa,carpet,drapery. spray let dry and VACUUM off. do this atleast once per month and you should see a good result..IF spraying on wood areas: bed frame crevices...spray thoroughly and let dry in.

Just put in the freezer to kill the bugs and eggs. Bugs are good; it just means that no pesticides were used.

"Best Yet" chemical free red cedar spray is great. I haven't tried them for bed bugs but they are worth a try and it isn't toxic! Go to cedar-cidestore.com. Also I think a hair dryer might be better than a steamer. Then at least you won't get fabric and upholstery wet. Putting the infected items in a plastic bag and putting them in a car with windows rolled up that is sitting in the hot sun does the trick too.

I don't know about bed bugs. I think there are other things best suited for them. As for other bugs. I think this works pretty good. I bought 2 to replace an old version of Riddex and I like it. I have had the Riddex Plus for a couple of months now and they work GREAT for me. Very pleased..

Any time. BTW - this product is awesome for general pests inside and out. It's especially good for spiders and ticks.

Hello, I'm glad you asked. If you have bugs, the best bet is to get It checked out. Have you been getting bites, such as little red bumps. Unless your bed is completely covered by bugs I would get the top and bottom cover, once on this will keep any bugs from coming out of mattress or box spring. This is not a total solution, so a pest control company is the next step. The one I used did a hepa vacuum and steam cleaned all rooms. A lot of work is involved cleaning clothes and moving things around. If you buy a mattress and don't take care of bugs you will still have a problem. I hope this helps. Hello, I'm glad you asked.

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon.Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub.I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there.Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects.Next time I will do more research before I answer.Good luckWalt

Suspend SC is a very popular product for stink bugs and widely used by our customers. The key to stink bug control is to treat in the fall when the stink bugs normally look for entry into a home. Even more important is to make sure there are no cracks around windows or under doors. You should seal all cracks and holes with caulk or other suitable material to prevent entry from stink bugs and other pests during the fall and winter.

I also use the Victor flea trap inside. This thing works great. Leave it for 2-3 days in different rooms around the house (barn). I also use a DIY tobacco/garlic/orange oil tincture in a pump spray in my yard that works really well. I have to apply once a month to catch to new hatches but it also keeps down ants and other bugs with less toxic "natural" ingredients. We had a pretty bad flea infestation (4 dogs) so I've been attacking the flea war from all sides.
