Anyone do this and it works? If so what product do you spray on outside perimeter of house? How often? Do you spray inside?

Seems all our pest control guy does is spray around house once a month and that either has worked well or I've just been lucky to not have lots of crawly things in house. Seems simple enough to do if I knew what to spray.

Talstar P once a month

Make a nice 3 foot sweep around outside of house then spot treat inside along doors, windows, in corners, behind appliances etc

I do it myself, usually 3-4 times a year. I use whatever spray i see at lowes, its like 15 bucks.

Works fine. Very few bugs.

Yeah, but you just pay that one time right before you sell house.

Yep, the same stuff the pest control guys use is available online. I use e pest supply mainly because I could drive to their store before they created their online store.

I use some ortho mixture from Lowes. Heavy duty stuff that you have to mix up. Spray outside and around entry ways.

I don't care how clean your house you will have roaches, whether you see them or not. I saw a couple big ones in my bathroom light/vent. I sprayed some Bengal in there and I could hear them running around. Three days later I pulled the light down and there were 15 big ones dead. I got Spectracide bug stop. Sprayed on the outside perimeter and in any opening I could see..On sale at Lowe's for under 5 bucks for a gallon.

Yeah that shite works inside and outside. A $50 bottle lasts me about 3-4 years too.

Suspend Sc or talstar

Suspended SC will get rid of carpenter bees.
Use it quarterly or do talstar and suspend the next quarter

Crosscheck Plus. It's the same chemical as in Talstar P. Bifenthrin.

Use some common sense. I don’t like greasy felons inside or outside my house doing this stuff so good for you taking care of your house.

Use Top Choice on your lawn. Talstar around the outside of the house-including windows, door, and where pipes enter. Suspend poly in your trees and shrubs. Roach gel under the sinks. IGR's under your stove and fridge.
