How can DIY Pest Control my house?

I had a company doing pest control to my home but they come for 5 minutes spray very little in some corners and then live. I do not want to under estimate their work but I wonder how can I do that my self? and what do you recommend to buy? I'm in central Texas and there are spiders and centipedes crawling on the carpet.

I've researched this quite a bit. I live in Florida a nd have many of the same issues. You can buy exactly the same chemicals that the pros use. The catch is that you can only buy some of them online. This website seems to have the best prices: www.doyourownpestcontrol.com





If you want to read more about it and compare prices for yourself just google pest control (products). Bizrate and Shopzilla make it easy to compare prices. There's a lot of helpful information available on the internet and if you DIY you can save a lot of money and exterminate at your own convenience.How can DIY Pest Control my house?

You can buy a gallon or larger can of pesticide with a hose and spray attachment.from WalMart, Lowe's etc. Be sure all pets are out of the house and secured away from the house. Go around all the edges of the rooms and around the outside of the foundation. Spray everywhere you have seen the exterminator spray. Think like a bug and spray in likely looking places.


If you do not get as good a results as the exterminator did get advice.


Go to your local hardware store (like an ACE ) or where you would go for lumber, paint, and other home and garden supplies. Find someone who seems knowledgeable - like the manager. Ask them which pesticide works best in your area and tell them what you want to get rid of.
Since you currently have a pest control company, they are your first resource to have your questions answered and your problem solved. Call them until they do. Now, if you still insist on doing your own pest control, knowledge is power. Learn all you can about the pests involved. The number one weapon for use on spiders is a vacuum. Physically remove all live spiders, webbing, and egg cases. A repellent applied to those areas will give you relief. Centipedes are generally a moisture issue. Decrease the moisture where you see the centipedes, maybe even use a dehumidifier and the problem may resolve itself without any chemical intervention. Pest control does not always come in a can. It comes from knowing the pests biology and using that knowledge to put stress on that pests population. Without food, water, and harborage a pest can not survive.

They make some bug killing bombs that I hear work quite well. Basically, you close all the windows and doors, set these up and then leave for a few hours. When you come back open the place up to air it out.
