I need pest control advice...PLEASE! · 6:37am Sep 12th, 2016
In one week we have had
Spiders
Moths
Ants
Beatles
Lizards
Scorpions
and...
Cockroaches.
I HATE killing any animals, but I have sprayed bug spray multiple times with three different types, I have tried traps, natural control such as vinegar, I plugged any hole I could find and they just keep coming. My house is clean, I've done everything I can think of. HOW DO THEY KEEP GETTING IN?
Have my friend spending the night, went into my bedroom to get something and hear her yelling. Go into my living room and she's standing on the couch and there's a cockroach in the middle of the floor. Yeah, she's not going to let me get any sleep tonight.
I know they basically disappear when it get's colder, but seriously how do you keep them out? Any advice will be more than welcomed.
There are also mosquitos, wasps, and bees but they don't like coming into the house so I didn't include them
I'm not really sure about the rest of them but, even though you hate killing these things, you'll probably have to kill the ants that have already made their way inside the house. Once you have gotten rid of the ones inside, use salt around any entrances or anywhere they could get in and it SHOULD keep them out
4206315 I have been trying to kill them. The only ones I haven't been are the scorpions and lizards. Thank you, I will try the salt trick.
Well for now the best I can suggest until you can deal with them properly. Get some mint leaves and some water, let the leaves soak till the water smells like mint. Spray the water across your home lightly, it should help keep them away for a short time. While you have the moment, go and get some pesticide and spread it around as needed.

Even in the smallest cracks they'll find a way.
