Help With Bed Bug Issue
Joshua Sturgell on Sep 08, 2019Hey all, My name is Josh and I live in an apartment complex that has recently had a lot of move outs and move ins, especially in my building. I don't do a lot of travelling and my wife and I typically just work and come home. I am pretty keen to sight and one day spotted a bug that I later identified a bed bug crawling in a corner of my desk while I was cleaning up. I did the research, checked a couple other places such as my bed, and sure enough, I have a dwelling of bed bugs. I went through the rooms and laundry and got some hardware store spray. I have been following up for the last two weeks and noticed everywhere that I treated, they are gone. They only bite me, but the other day I noticed that I had a few bites on my arms. Upon doing another thorough inspection, I located more. Now I have only located physically about 30 of the critters in the corners of mattress and under bed when I first treated my home, and just yesterday located about five, however, on to my question.. Has anyone had any success in using lavender oils and other essential oils and incense/soaps/lotions? All of my research says that they hate this stuff, and my lease isn't up for a few more months. My goal here is not to rid my entire complex of bed bugs, however, just survive no bugs in my unit until my lease is up. This was a very good spot until this last year, and I'm afraid management is struggling in keeping this place going, but I plan to pursue all routes, notify them again, comply with pest control should they call it, however, after researching essential oil treatments on my own, I am intrigued about their possibility for use when dealing with no only bed bugs, but any bugs. Any discussion is welcome. Thanks for all your help and feedback, I will be reading everything and trying to respond in a timely manner.Read More

Hornet problem
There must be a bald-faced hornet nest somewhere, I don't know how far away. There usually are a few of them buzzing around my blueberries. When they leave they head east and go out of sight. The Internet tells me that bald-faced hornets are one of the most aggressive stingers we have. I know I can kill them fairly benignly by zapping them w/ soap solution; and I've actually been doing that for a few days. But they seem to be becoming more plentiful. I set a homemade trap made from a pop bottle, but the wise creatures seem to prefer the blueberries. Shall I donate my blueberry crop to the hornets?Read More
