We are currently pretty pest free and want to stay that way.
We have a CYV also and been here 9 years. We spread a band of granular bug killer (Spectracide) around complete foundation quarterly and spray "Permethrin" around all windows, doors and eaves every quarter also and we have never had any bugs. 1 Bag of Spectracide cost about $20.00 and lasts a year and a bottle of Permethrin (mixed with water properly) cost about $35.00 and will last about 7 years. That brings total cost PER YEAR to $6.66 or .55 per month. Permethrin is the same product the bug companies use. Good Luck.
