We just bought a new pre-owned house in the Villages. (Love it) Yuk, but when we wake at 6 and groggily walk into the guest room area, there are 1 to 2 beetles with evidence of a few more. We sprayed Ortho at the plumbing openings and the doors. We thought we'd taken care of it but today we saw 2 on the kitchen floor. They've moved. We've always tried to fix things ourselves and wonder if you have advice. Help! A few particulars:

1. We have a very thick coating of bark surrounding the bushes around front, back, sides of our house. Someone told us this is Palmeto heaven. Should we get rid of the bark?

2. If you had a bug company come in, where do they spray?

Thanks a ton!, Carol
