Thanks for your reply.
That's good. You have roaches though, right? And spiders?
I wouldn't want to find any of those 3 types of pests around.
Hope it's possible to not have any of those three. Earwigs I could deal with.

We do not have roaches in our house. Only in the hot summer time the giant field one's try to come in, cool off, kick back on the recliner, have a glass of iced tea, watch TV. But the Bug Bully chases them away.
Spiders are around here and there. They do not bother me. I see some crickets now and then, and they also do not bug me. As for earwigs, I have not seen any of them at all since before leaving California. They seem to be everywhere in Southern California.

Lol. Thanks for the reply back.
Sorry, I thought I read a thread on here 2-3 months ago where you had replied on saying that you have roaches in your home at times during the hot months. Little tiny, tiny spiders would be ok.
We get earwigs here in AZ.

I've seen maybe five scorpions in Las Vegas in 48 years.

This has been the year for ants. Last week I watched a line of them going all the way across my back yard, up the wall, and over to the neighbor's yard. I couldn't tell if they were coming or going, but after three or four days they hauled all their eggs and stuff in little suitcases to wherever it was. Tomorrow is garbagé day, so tonight I ran the pooper scooper and each little pile had 17 million ants in it. I sprayed em with Hot Shot. But unless you can get them to take the bait back to the anthill it does no good to spray them. The problem I see is that not all ants have the same diet, and generic ant killers don't always work. If it's not on their diet they just ignore it.

After five decades in Las Vegas, I'm now seeing rats for the first time. I whacked a couple in their nest under my storage bin, and caught one in the sticky paper, but at least one is still living under the bin. I may have shot him in the a$$ tonight with a BB gun though. He has chewed a hole in the Rubber Made bin and I saw his tail in the hole so I shot. A few minutes later my wife saw him run up over the fence, so maybe I grazed him. I put Decon in the bin but it doesn't look like he's eating it, so I dumped some down the hole, and some behind the bin where I've also seen him. I had two stickies in the bin too, and I could tell he had been caught in one but got away. His trail is obvious so I put a sticky paper right where he'd have to cross it. I'll have to hire lvoc to bring a couple of his ferral cats over if this doesn't work.

Those are what I was referring to, the roaches in the hot months are the giant field roaches that always somehow slip in through the door track or a crack. It's amazing how they squish their bodies almost flat to get in. Lately, have seen crickets, which are fine. Cats play toys and good luck charms.
