-0 says... Hi. I haven't used a pesticide in years, but am getting frustrated to the point that I feel I need to find a solution. The insecticides in foggers won't have a residual so they only will be good as a contact kill. The best solution to clean them out would be to have the space under the house lightly dusted with an insecticidal dust such as a product from ECOPCO though Drione or Deltadust will give quicker results. And if you don't want an insecticide on the basement floor, place glue boards around the baseboard. -- We child proofed our home, but they are still getting in. Lar.

I've tried a Bioganics spray, which works, but the level of the infestation is well beyond that at this point. Thousands of little tiny baby crickets have just hatched and I'm not only grossed out, I am worried about what will happen when they grow to full size. It will then be at the biblical plague level! So, a google search of "safe + pesticide" yielded little only poisonous pesticides. Does anybody have any links or suggestions where I might find relatively safe foggers for use in the basement?

... Oh, ugh. I'd forgotten about cricket season. It's late Aug.-Sept. for us. Hordes of big black crickets, so many you have to get a broom and sweep them away from the door before you open it. Ick. Talk about plague proportions. I never see any; I guess I don't get enough for Shamrock to get bored with them. Enough of them manage to get in the house the cats get bored withh him them and ignore them. Fortunately, they are mostly outside, so we just wait for a cold snap and they go away. I hate pesticides of any kind and avoid them if I can. Sherry Do you get those camel crickets? They are one of the grossest things I've seen because they look like a huge spider. Their hopping is very irratic and they could be going one way, the next hop they're coming right at you or even on you. Blech. I just don't like bugs, period. I don't care what people say about the whole balance of the ecosystem (not that I go out of my way to destroy all bugs, just the ones that get in my house) I could live without all of them. |
