I do my own. Get yourself a decent pressure pump sprayer and Ortho Home Defense. Home Defense has a built-in sprayer but it will cripple your hands in no time. When I was in the Florida Panhandle, I had to spray the outside perimeter every two months. I also sprayed inside under the sinks where the pipes come in. I had tried 3 different services but was always calling them back for re-treatments. After I started doing it myself, no more problems plus it saved me about $300 per year.

Here in TV, bugs aren't nearly as bad. I do the perimeter about once every 6 months. Periodically, we get tiny ants in the kitchen area and bathrooms. I just spot spray them with ant killer.
