Re: When you spray bug spray

We have never sprayed for bugs inside our home.

We do spray around our house & around the perimeter plus wood fence. The Company that sprays for weeds also applies insect control to the lawn when he sprays the lawn.

Re: When you spray bug spray

Many years ago our dog got fleas very bad - so bad we had to take her to the vet to have them treated because nothing at home was working. He said he was keeping her several days and while she was there we should have the house treated. Terminex came and sprayed outside in the yard and inside the house, including the carpet and her dog bed- even though I had washed it in the washer.

That & once when we had bees in the house & they set off bombs are the only times I've ever had the inside sprayed.

No bugs here. I'm in Colorado. Maybe just a few ants. But I can live with that, no problem.

[ Edited ]

Thanks so much everyone. Seems that I can just do the spraying outside which is a good thing.  

 

Years ago when we had a cat in our family home it brought fleas into the basement.  The cat did not live in there so not sure why that was the only area that got the fleas!

 

We lost so much stored in that basement  Smiley Sad  Had to get an exterminator to get rid of the fleas.

We spray outside first around the pertimeter and then inside at the bottom of all the doorways.

Re: When you spray bug spray

My landlord has laid down pellets outside all around the house and recently has sprayed in our crawl space but we still get ants.  I forgot last night to plug up the drain in the kitchen and they came in, lots of them.  My landlord says give it a week and if we are still infested with ants he'll call in an exterminating service.  Tihis has been a bad infestation for us.
