I just stepped on a bug this morning, and not on purpose. Nope, no sireeeee. I would have avoided it at all cost because it was big, black and yougly. Ugly to you northerners. I guess it somehow got transported into my bedroom from its home in Loch Ness. After cleaning up the bug guts on the floor (and my foot, yuck!), I sauntered into the bathroom to find a trail of Argentine ants on my toothbrush. Thank goodness the monster in the bedroom (not my husband, the cockroach) had me wide awake, or I might well have had a mouth full of ant-laced Colgate. That's what I get for not thoroughly cleaning my brush the night before. I hop in the shower and, hallelujah, saints be praised, an electric eel didn't slither out of the drain and wrap itself around my leg (can hardly get my ol' man to do that). After dressing for work (TGIF!), I go down stairs to the kitchen where the Folgers is ready and waiting, thanks to hubby, and sit down at the table with a cream-cheesed bagel. And you ain't goin't to believe this, as my granny would say. A fly starts buzzing my head. Yes, after the Loch Ness Monster and the ants from that South American country, a darn fly. That annoying buzzing sound drives me crazy. And why would a fly be circling my head anyway? I washed my hair, brushed my teeth (with a new toothbrush, I'll have you know), and I have an IQ of 140. Anyway, I grab a newspaper, roll it up and start beating the heck out of everything in my kitchen until I kill the dirty, buzzing little booger. I glance at the window over the sink, see my reflection, and freak. My hair looks like somebody thought it might taste good in a frozen margarita and threw it in the blender. I guess I went a little overboard in my mission to kill the fly, but it's been an insectually(is that a word?) baaaad morning (TGIF!)---Darn! I just looked at the calendar!
Freaked Out Lady found out the hard way that American cockroaches and Smoky Brown cockroaches are very prevalent indoors in the fall and winter months. You Do It Pest Control carries a whole host of effective residual sprays to control these roaches such as: Onslaught, Demon WP, Suspend SC, Crack & Crevice I, and Crack & Crevice II. Good baits to use include: Advion, Advance, Maxforce, and Vendetta. Dusts such as and Drione and Delta dust work well in the hard-to-get-to places such as wall voids, plumbing voids and certain cracks and crevices.
Those pesky Argentine ants can be controlled with MaxForce ant bait and Advance Dual Choice ant stations. Effective residual sprays include CyKick CS, and for the outside Tempo Ultra SC. Delta dust applied with a bellows hand duster is excellent for wall and plumbing voids.
That pesky fly could have been dealt with much less spent energy. Gold Stick Fly Traps and MaxForce Fly Spot Bait are very effective and CB-80 works very well for a quick kill.
