On the bug bomb thing, we haven't ever done that because I am afraid of inhaled insect poisons.I personally would prefer having the professionals handle getting rid of them or in our case never getting any. Our bug service guys don't enter your house unless you see a bug, they spray the perimeter monthly I think, We usually would have some little tiny **** ants when we returned in the fall in both bath rooms when we were snowbirds and they would come immediately and put professional traps where they were...the kind you buy at Lowes were never as effective...and they placed them where our cats wouldn't get to them. They never have come inside to spray the whole house. They spray the exterior and always knock so we can take the cats off the porch. We also know to keep flour, sugar, etc. in closed container so as not to tempt bugs. I know that our whole neighborhood uses either Massey or Dean and I am glad, they are protecting our house by doing it.

Sweetie is reading the paper and he doesn't remember how much we pay yearly. More than anyone wants to, but I agree it is one thing we will not attempt to do ourselves.

Call and get several to come out and give you estimates, they don't hard sell you like water softener people. I would rather have bug service than a water softener. Massey and Dean are the biggest.

Just my view..
