The pest control company told me I have excessive moisture under the house. He wants to charge me $550 to lay the moisture barrier down. Is this something I can do myself? Would 4 mil thickness work? Does it matter if I go with black or clear? Do I just lay it out flat or does it have to be tacked down somehow? Does the moisture meter detect less moisture instantly after the moisture barrier is installed? The quoted price seems extremely excessive. I would rather pay the $40 for the plastic and another $100 for a new WDIR from another company. Is there any hidden value that I am missing?

We have an old house with a crawl space and we think they are coming from down there. We had Pest control spray for ants but they are still coming and still getting worse. Please help.

What’s the best home-made way to kill cockroaches?

Ok…so I live in an apt where the management has decided to completely ignore the fact that my building is in DESPERATE need of an exterminator. I tried using Raid, live traps, sticky traps…basically everything in the “pest control” section of the store. Nothing worked–the little buggers came back with a vengeance.
Is there a cheap (cuz i’m so sick and tired of spending money to kill these little critters), pet-friendly (i have a dog), home-made way to kill these annoying things?!!
I cannot chaulk or seal up the holes in which they come from since my management has specified that I am not to do as such. So, i need something that I can do pretty much every week until they all die miserable deaths.

HELP ME!

I have found a few of these critters in different areas of the house recently and wonder if anyone knows of a good do-it-yourself pest control for silverfish.

We noticed that we have carpenter ants in a wood beam of our home on the outside. We were hoping that this would be resolved with one pest control application, but Orkin wants to set up a quarterly application plan, which entails a lot more money. What is the typical application procedure, and do we really need the “quarterly plan?” I appreciate your input in advance.

I am in the process of buying a home. I have already realized one of my biggest problems will be combating ants in my new home. They are called pavement ants. I do not have the money to invest in professional pest control, therefore what is some DIY solutions to getting rid of ants for as long as possible?

I know that I can buy those little ant traps, but there has to be something out there that is more useful.

Or do different companies use different things? They did a routine pest control spray in my apartment and I’m just wondering if anyone knows what the name of the chemical they use could be.

Please do not respond just to get points.I need experienced **** roach conquerors to answer this question. Please do not respond just to get answer points. I have tried boric acid, foggers, pest control services. I still have cockroaches.

These things keep getting in the house even after the pest control guy comes. There are no cracks or holes anywhere and these things are huge!
