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? Hank ~~~~ getting kinda bugged about it |

In the desert here I use Sevn Dust and/or Boric Acid powder. It helps control Black Widows (huge ones). |

Hank ~~~~ getting kinda bugged about it 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. |
