Default Pest Control

What does everyone do for pest control? We had Bates which was included in our lawn treatment. Every 2 mos. they'd spray all around the outside of the house. We have switched from Bates and Dean's doesn't include the service. It's an extra $250/yr. We have a neighbor who does his own and says he has no problems. Does anyone do their own and if so what do you use and how often do you spray?

Our Village Sales Rep suggested we do our own. Have been doing so for three years. No problems. Our house was built in 2012. We buy the stuff in Home Depot or Lowes.

Default Follow container directions closely.

I do my own house and yard pest control. Never had a problem. As to the inside do not wait until you see a problem. It is easy to buy the combat gel in the syringes. Apply small dots not long streaks. Too much will chase roaches away. Combat is the identical home use product that the pros use and pay more fore. For lawns anything with permethrin or bifathin in it will work. Just, please measure correctly.once a month will help keep fleas down. If you notice a heavy problem respray in 7/10 days to get the ones that hatched.
