I rotate between Bifen XTS, Demand CS, and Temprid FX mixed in a 1 gallon sprayer whenever I see the lizards getting fat and having babies...You should see the way they look at me...Bitter contempt in their eyes :)

It's cheap and easy to DIY.

Just pay Orkin of the Villages for our terminate inspection/insurance--use Zoysia green for lawn/pest fertilization & pests-- our lawn puts everyone else to shame--they use Deans & Massey

What brand of home defense do you use? What is a good schedule? Where do you apply it? Thanks.

Apply it anywhere and everywhere, Indoors and outdoors. I even used it in my dishwasher to get rid of the tiny black ants that hot water wouldn't.:boom:

You can buy Bifentherin concentrate at Tractor supply. One quart will make 16 gallon for outside use (directions).This is the same active ingredient in Home defense. approx 29 dollars for it works as good or better and a lot less. Inside use 1 0z per gallon of water 2 oz per gallon outside. Read directions.

I do my own pest control. I spray my property twice a month with this product. No bugs at all bother me. The product doesn't effect the gecko's cause they are always in my yard and I find them to be cute little devils.

Amazon.com : Bayer Advanced 700310 Carpenter Ant and Termite Killer Plus Concentrate, 32-Ounce : Home Pest Repellents : Garden & Outdoor

Any thoughts about this? What applications are needed and when? Thanks in advance.
That's probably true unless or until you get germen roaches. Unless you are experienced and can see or even smell where their nest is you will need an experienced professional to get rid of them.

I do my own also along with my lawn mowing and maitenance and if I ever get something i can't handle I'll get a professional and then go back to doing it myself again.
