For spider, bugs, etc. do you have a pest control contractor or do you spray bug juice yourself? If you treat you home yourself... what's your mixture??

I use Bifen IT and mix it an ounce or two per gallon.

I alternate between generic bifenthrin 7.9% and Cyper WSP 40% Cypermethrin. It's generic Demon WP.

My attempts at DIY weren't very effective (using above products). I got a pest control company. They were more effective than DIY, but they were inconsistent. Fired them, got another more local pest control company, and they are extremely effective. Anyone reading from Georgia, fire Arrow and hire Breda.

Guess i should have mentioned this would be for both inside and outside treatment. Also located in the Prairieville area.

Use the bifenthrin from TSC. No odor and does the job.

On outside spraying add 1oz mineral oil to every gallon of spray. Spray lasts longer. Don't add the oil to inside of house spraying.

Second to the post above, I’ve used DemonWP for inside and outside for years to good effect. I found that the effectiveness really comes down to the solution concentration strength based on what type of pest you’re trying to control.

If you’d rather use a company, I’d recommend Cotton’s Peat Control.

It is better to contact LINK termite controler as they are professional and know exactly what they do.

This question comes up pretty often on here. You don't have to order anything from this link above if you can find it locally but they have a lot products on this site. You can read the reviews and they have questions and answers for the different products as well. I've learned alot just from reading on about the products. A lot of what everyone says they use is the same thing but one may be the generic version and the other the brand name.

I use bifenthrin (Talstar) outside mostly and demand or suspend inside. But I swap them up every now and then because they say you should to prevent resistance. When my bottle of demand is gone I'm gonna try Alpine WSG for inside. That stuff is high though.

Demon is good stuff. Used it in the past. Only thing is it dries and leaves a white residue on anything dark colored like wood floors.

very effective for a wide variety of insect pests and lasts a decent amount of time after use. Plus it doesn’t stink too bad.
