Inside bugs are coming this fall to your home. It will be getting time for the outside bugs like spiders, ants, boxelder bugs, and others in being inside bugs. Many will be on your lawn to start with. So, keep the grass mowed, remove any debris around the house and garage that they love to hide under, and trim up your shrubbery (lightly). Also, caulk around the foundation and windows to keep them out which will also keep the cold out when the time comes.
Flies have been bad this year. Keeping your garbage bins away from the house is the main thing. Fly baits and sticky tubes will get some of the flies indoors but be careful, so your pets do not get to them.
I use a residual insecticide called Permectrin II, sprayed around where the foundation meets the ground. Spray up to around 3 feet on the side of the home and out 3 feet on the ground. Also do not forget around the windows and doors. If you do not want to do this yourself, there are home pest control businesses in our area.
