In our early years here, starting in 2007, we occasionally saw tiny ants, roaches (not tiny), beetles, spiders etc in our homes. About ten years ago we bought Riddex Plus plug-in insect deterrent devices, and we almost never see any ants, bugs, etc in our house. The devices emit some type of signal that humans and pets don't hear, but which disturbs creepy crawlies, so they stay away. We also never have our home sprayed inside, as we're (especially me) very toxin-adverse (my husband does put insecticide outside around our house). We have three of the devices in our 2100 square foot home. Even though we don't have one of the devices in our garage, we also seldom see any insects etc there.
