Hi! I'm almost at the end of a long battle with mice invading my house. One of their last strongholds is in the back of the fridge, they are entering at back of the fridge. I have seen these access covers available, but wondering about the effectiveness against mice as they are made for cardboard. has anyone had any experience with these covers? Would it be possible to put a metal cover on the back instead?

Thank you!

hi I’m freaking out right now because I just found some eggs (looked like moth eggs to me) on my bedroom curtains.

I’m kinda worried some may have already dropped off the curtains onto my floor when I drew my curtains without knowing they were there.

my skin is crawling right now. does anyone have tips on how to clean them properly please I don’t want micro worms in my room after those eggs hatch oh my gosh.

Hello, I'm having a pest control in my condo soon. Are my things (tissues, clothes, food, and other stuffs) safe to use after a day if I store them inside a durabox? This is my first time so I'm not sure what to do.

I (27F) recently moved into a new place (CO, USA) the Landlord failed to mention that the place had a roach problem. I’ve never dealt with anything like this, I keep a very clean house I don’t leave food out I do my dishes my floors my trash good scrub downs etc.. I had been here for a couple of weeks before I noticed one, the. I started noticing more and more. He’s blaming the exterminators, he sent them in 2 days ago but I just found/killed 2 more, one was the biggest I’ve seen yet. I am literally itching to get out of here. How do I move into a new place without bringing any roaches with me? I’ve been decluttering, throwing out a lot of items that I feel like i can’t deep clean enough. My sister said I have to get rid of anything that had fabric.. I know this sounds stupid but I can’t throw away my stuffed animal I’ve had since I was 2 I need to save it.. do I need to replace my bed? My couch? My kitchen appliances? My TV? what do I do.. crying didn’t help.

My mom about a month ago bought chicken feed that happened to be infested with grain beetles. We unknowing knew this. One day we looked at the kitchen counter tops and there were these weird beetles walking around. We just wiped them off and thought nothing of it. We then started getting bit while sitting on the couch. Thought that was weird so my mom bought sticky traps and stuck them behind the couch. HUNDREDS. OF. BEETLES.

Google keeps saying “grain beetles cannot bite humans or animals and go away on their own” FALSE. Me and my mom find new bites on us every single day from these damn bugs. The sticky traps are constantly getting full of them. We’ve identified them as foreign grain beetles. We’ve went through the cabinets threw out any thing we saw with bugs which was only one package of noodles :(since the bugs came from chicken feed outside) and vacuum every single day. We’ve sprinkled diatomaceous earth, bed bug spray, cockroach spray, I even read somewhere someone said lavender Lysol kills them and we’ve been spraying that and vacuuming everyday.

We are continuing to get bit and the bites are small but pack a powerful ITCH. Anyone had this problem before? How can we get rid of them? Pls help. If they didn’t bite us and make us so itchy we wouldn’t mind that much and just vacuum and try to get rid of them but it’s MISERABLE at this point.

I’d like to purchase an insecticide that keeps cockroaches away. My building uses suspend sc every month, however I often miss the service window.

I’d like to just take it into my own hands. I’d like a highly effective insecticide that has the least harm to me and my cat (who doesn’t live with me all the time but comes to stay with me every now and then)

Is suspend sc right for the job? Also I’d love a recommendation for a good sprayer for whatever I get.

Thank you!

I have a tortoise. Yesterday we bug bombed to kill a moth infestation. He was kept outside all day whilst we did the fumigation and the house aired out for 6 hours before bringing him back in. His enclosure was kept under plastic wraps whilst we did the smoke. But usually he wanders around the floor of the house. I’m keen to leave the treatment on the rugs for a few days before vacuuming but then we have a robo vac which goes around every day. So once the vac starts up again, when would it be safe to let him roam?

I seen a German cockroach a month ago in my bathroom sink, one large male. Today in the crevice of the sink and outline of the caulk I saw a little bug idk which kind it was but it was enough! So I want to get on the advion gel train.

How do I apply it ?

Is it going to attract the bugs or make them stay away?

People say add a pea size amount ?? I don’t get it am I not supposed to outline the areas with it ?

So I was helping a friend of mine clean out his garage but we discovered mouse dropping and even caught it in a trap. We need to have the garage completely cleaned (which is filled wall to wall). Germs are a big thing and we want to disinfect the whole thing without tracing any germs back in the house? Any tips and advice on how to move forward?

Any advice to keep them out of my apartment?

My roommate and I recently moved to an apartment (built within the last 2-3 years) and ever since I’ve been having issues with bugs. From spiders, silverfish, beetles, and even a roach we spotted in our kitchen, it’s getting very frustrating and stressful seeing bugs everyday. We told our landlord and all they did was lay down some sticky traps around the kitchen. I mainly have seen silverfish in my room. Does anyone have any advice for me to help prevent so many insects in our new apartment? I feel like I’m losing my mind.

A couple days after moving all my stuff in, I noticed roaches in the kitchen, especially the dishwasher. I let my landlord know and they sent someone to spray the kitchen. That was about 5 days ago, and I haven't found any in the kitchen since then. I was in the middle of unpacking, though, so now I'm finding roaches in my boxes of clothes and other things in the living room. Any advice?

Okay so a last month I found a bunch of flying ants in my room after going away for a week. We killed then with raid and they were gone for a while, but I took every last item in my room out and vacuumed or cleaned it. A few days later a few more showed up and we killed those too. We even hosed outside my window. My friend told me to turn off my led lights as that may attract them because it helped her when she kept finding bugs so for the past few weeks I haven’t been using them but as I went into my room today I found 4 more. I don’t know where there coming from but they hang around my window. We sprayed the crap out it with raid and we never see them come from anywhere and we haven’t found a nest but where could they be coming from????? There nowhere else in the house except for the for the singular stray you might see in a living space or bathroom but aside from that there only in my room and they won’t go away. What do I do?

I literally had to pick it up and when I saw what it was I shrieked and chucked it across the room. It fell somewhere behind my small library and now I have no idea where it is after looking for it. I did not sleep all night. What do I do and how do I prevent this happening in the future I am very scared😭

Almost my entire life there has been wasp issues at my parents house during the summer. We have a balcony and my bedroom has a sliding door to access the balcony. Usually they make their nests under the balcony above the deck underneath in the siding of the house and sometimes several/swarms will get into my room somehow. My dad “took care of” their nest that was under the balcony near my room a couple of days ago (he destroyed their hive) and now I think they are trying to relocate to my bedroom.. In the past day, my dad has swatted/killed around 20 wasps in my room and I’ve used a shop vaccuum to vaccuum up over 50 by this point. They are on my sliding door, my light, my closet, the walls, they are flying EVERYWHERE. I have only been home in the evening because of work and when I vacuum them up, it’s like they respawn because another 1-5 will appear within several minutes. What can I do to get them out of my bedroom? I’m scared to sleep 😭
