Roaches, ants and all sorts of bugs love the tasty treats you leave out for your pets. Mice can live their whole lives just sneaking out and grabbing a ‘Kibbles & bit’ every night [...]

Let’s take a look at another way unwanted pests enter your home. You won’t need your caulking gun this time & if you haven’t already, you can come down out of the attic.

The night goes by and you carefully stoke your source of warmth and joy.-Oh–”Whats this? A bug” Quick work with the last of the sports page and all is well. Still, awhile later you see several more insects scurrying all around the living room floor or perhaps you’ve now got very large predatory looking dive bombers looping around the dining room lamp. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH we’ve been invaded by bugs!
