I read about how to control them and the article suggested "boric acid" which is a white powder specifically for that. I went to Walmart and the worker there told me it is the #1 seller in that aisle! I believed it. I sprinkled it behind all my furniture and in closets and garage, problem solved. After my 6 month trip north I would come back to maybe 1 dead bug, maybe not. My third home which is a bigger court yard villa I have seen only 1 since 2018. I treat myself successfully. You can do it!

Totally agree ! It's amazing how easy and it is to take care of insect "problems". I believe many people are frightened into spending large amounts of $$ and for such a simple, few minuted process. Boric acid power is great and poses little health hazard when used properly. We've found the new Zevo very effective, so have given up the brand spray we have used for years; still watching to see if there is any difference.
