Hey everyone!
I thought I’d won the war against roaches after bombing my apartment with pyrethroid spray . But two weeks later, they marched back like tiny armored tanks. Turns out, I missed the egg sacs hidden behind the fridge. Now I combine boric acid bait with sealing every crack using silicone caulk. But I’m paranoid—am I overdoing it? What’s YOUR secret to keeping pests GONE for good?
Used peppermint oil for mice. They built a nest IN my diffuser. Switched to steel wool + caulk —game over.
Found bed bug shells AFTER treatment. Turned out they were hiding in my kid’s LEGO bin!
@MousePatrol LEGOs?! Now I’m tossing EVERY TOY. Thanks for the trauma.
Companion planting saved my veggies! Marigolds vs. aphids > any chemical.
Landlord used foggers. Roaches just moved to Unit 3B. Now we share exterminator costs, awkward but effective.
@ScienceBuffBen Sharing? My neighbor’s infestation is THEIR problem.
Food-grade DE on baseboards. Safe for cats… until Mr. Whiskers did parkour and puffed a dust cloud.
@CaveDweller666 DE causes lung damage! Use herbal sachets instead.
Mothballs in the attic, kept rats out but now my Christmas sweaters smell like a funeral home.
Bought a house with termite history. Sprayed bifenthrin yearly—safe or overkill?
