Looking for something way more potent than ortho home defense. Any recommendations for just basic bugs ants, roaches, silverfish etc.? Does anyone in Baton Rouge have a good selection or should I order online?

Anything with bifenthrin is a good general pest control product. Talstar is one of the more popular brand names.

Tractor supply, Northern Tools, and Site One will have it.

Suspend SC works great, is relatively safe around pets and doesn’t smell. Bifen works but stinks. Pestop in BR has it or it’s available on Amazon

I alternate spraying Talstar and Bifen. I'm now convinced that most pest control companies dilute their chemicals so they have to come back every month. I haven't seen many pests since I started spraying myself.

I have used Do Your Own in the past for purchases, but I've found Solutions Pest and Lawn to be significantly cheaper. FYI.

DemonMax, got it on Amazon. 1/2 ounce per gallon in a sprayer, treat in the Spring and Fall. Kills the shite out of every insect.

FYI. I sprayed my entire yard with Talstar. My dog stated having seizures. Maybe an odd coincidence , but it stopped a couple days later.
