How often do you get pest control in an effective way? I used to have them come every month in Vegas due to scorpions. Here I have them coming every other month but I get little spiders and earwigs lately more often than before. Not sure if it is effective

Every 3 months, except summer. Usually every month or other month from May to September, or so.

I have found therapy useful concerning those giant water bug roaches. No matter how brave that I stand up to them, when they fly, they freak me out. Why just the other day, I put out some rat poison. Upon inspecting it later, I found a number of those giant water bug roaches sucking on it like wayward teenagers doing dope.

^^^ What was the result? Were they dope sick or high as a kite?

For the giant roaches I use Wasp and Hornet Killer Jet. Kills on contact. Other than that, indoors I just use Cravegreens Pest Control Ultrasonic Repellent (plug-in). Works like a charm. Never had any insects inside my house.
For outdoors I use Talstar Pro. Just spray with a sprayer every 3 months or so. Great protection.

Go to Do It Yourself Pest Control Supplies

I bought this stuff Cyper WP | Free Shipping | Generic Demon WP

and an applicator set. Haven't had to use it very much but it seems effective.
