Looking for pest control options

July 8, 2009

Today I’m joining wearethatfamily for Works for me Wednesday.

My conundrum is pest control.  We live in Houston and fight all kinds of bugs and rodents.  We’ve had a pest control service, but I won’t even say how expensive that is.  But is has worked and I can’t imagine what they are putting in our house that is killing the bugs (and us).  So I’m researching “home remedy” bug solutions.

I have the typical spiders and other crawlly things.  I also have lots of little bitty ants that love any open food.  I’ve tried to keep everything sealed in my pantry, but almost impossible with 2 dogs, 5 people and 3 meals a day +snacks.

I’ve not had the service come back and I can tell the bugs are starting to move in.  What can I do?  Any ideas much appreciated.
