Bug Killer....What's best?
 
So far I have been able to keep most of the spiders/bugs out of the
house. But they seem to be winning the war. I have tried sprays and
granular from places like Home Depot.

What is the best thing for spreading around outside the house and
garage? I don't have any pets or kids. What do professionals use?

Killing the spiders is most of your problem right there. The rest of it is
eliminating the food source(s) for the other bugs.

Where do you live? In the desert here I use Sevn Dust and/or Boric
Acid powder.

It helps control Black Widows (huge ones).

I call a professional and get all around the house outside sprayed. Keeps
the scorpions out. Only costs $60. Do this twice a year (Colorado) ww

Go to your county extension service, take the restricted use pesticide
course, get the license, and then you can buy the same stuff the
professionals use.

I've been buying some stuff at HDepot that comes in a small purple
bottle, just a few ounces, and it is supposed to make 2 gallons or so.
I mix it with maybe 1.4 gallons of water and it seems to work really
well. About $7. I don't seem to have any on hand or I'd tell you the
actual name.
