| Its been a bad year for bugs. Warm winter and cool summer let them breed out of control. This year is the first year we have ever had a flea problem. We have 2 dogs that live outside and 2 cats that live inside. They all get frontline. Somehow they are all infested with fleas. The cats have lived in the basement since my son was born and our basement is thick with them.. The cats got a bath in flea dip and have flea collars, dogs got a bath. I have used the bug bombs and re applied frontline to the animals a month early. Still every time i go down to feed them i get attacked by fleas. Nothing seems to kill them. Anyone else have a problem this year? Advice on how to rid our home of these disgusting vermin? |

Mix borax and regular salt and spread it in the house where they are at. It kills them and dries up their eggs.I have used it in many rental houses that were too bad for me to get into to work on.
Don't believe me, do a google search. Borax works on the exoskeleton of small creatures , including ants. We had an ant problem for 18 years here. I heard about mixing borax and sugar in water and put it where they travel. I did that and I have not had one ant in my house since. Serious, it works. |

The borax thing never worked for me, but the ants we'd get actually ate the glue bindings out of books and the glue between the grains of sawdust in particle board furniture, etc. They didn't seem attracted to sugar at all. |

Mine FLOCKED to sugar. Where there was traces of BBQ sauce, jelly, anything sweet. I mixed some of that shit with borax and within a few days, no ants where the trail was. I later saw another trail coming in the window and put a soda cap with sugar, water and borax there too and a few days later...no more. I had them in the mailbox, in my BBQ grill where the tank is, all over outside. I'd spread just the borax where they were, and they were gone within a day. I shit you not..... |
