Second Extermination

Everyone's experience with these bugs is a different one. No matter how little or large the infestation they are still bothersome and we all deal with this problem differently.

We have turned to the internet and learned of a couple things we can do ourselves while we await extermination. Now of course the exterminators won't tell you things that you can do,but thanks to those who shared online their experiences and what they have done to keep them at bay and kill them we have found a temporary solution and my house has been bug free for a week!

What is it you ask? Well a combination of a couple things, since we have little children we didn't want to use anything that my harm them.

First is such a simple item and something most people already have in the house:

Yes! Petroleum Jelly! How simple right? You take this and apply it to the legs of the beds in your house. In my house we didn't stop at just our room where it seems to only be the problem now but we did all beds!  Read Here for this trick! I was so happy to find that this will keep them from crawling up to the bed!

The next is another simple and inexpensive trick!

Aluminum Pans filled just at the bottom with soapy water!

Put these at the legs of furniture like this:

The only downfall about this is that you can possibly ruin your furniture,don't worry I have another trick to avoid that! We decided to use the soapy water aluminum pans on our younger children's beds for safety reasons. We did this along with the petroleum jelly. Double Protection!

More to come!
