If you are talking about bugs in the house, I don't do anything specific inside the house and don't see anything in the house. I do spread a generic pesticide on the lawn with a lawn spreader a couple of times per year for yard pests, including around the perimeter of the house. I know some people use pest control companies but I have never had the need. Fire ants are always problematic. I do treat the mounds with Amdro as I encounter them.

What should we be looking our for? Any help would be appreciated... as would the suggestion of any pest control businesses. Thanks!
