I need to set off some foggers in the house. Has to be done, we have some issues.

I also have some crickets I believe in my mom room. How bad is it for the plants if I set off foggers in the room with them? Will a good flush on all the flowering plants rid them of chemicals?

I was also thinking of leaving foggers out of my two grow rooms, and just hanging the No pest strips in there.

Thanks.

That will probably be overkill, but whatever gives you peace of mind.

Clean out the house, and get rid of any un-necessary boxes/junk lying around.

You wont see a nice clean house with bugs runnin around unless you live in the swamps/jungle.

Not true. Way back when, I worked for a pest control company and some of the worst cockroach infestations I saw were in houses that were immaculate.

Bugs can get in your home any number of ways and they often are not noticed until they are well established.

Its not a roach issue. We have crickets, and some other bugs. We also have dogs so flea and tick control is an issue. We use other means of flea control but we still get some in the house once in a while.

Its not a dirty house issue.

dr.doom's seem to work good.. i use them pyrethrum bombs..only once have i used it in the middle of flower tho they still had a good bit of flowering time to go...there was no complaints on that batch but they did get a good flush...

if you looking to bomb the whole house except your grow rooms.. i usually place a few bombs under the ac return it stinks for a bit but works :joint:

I didn't think it was - you don't seem like a dirty house kinda guy.

Crickets are fine but what are the 'some other bugs'? Flea and tick control is easy cause you should have had them on at least a flea control program and if in an area with ticks outdoor flea/tick baths for starters.

Are you dealing with canna pests in the grow space or are you bombing the house for fleas and ticks?

My dad was a neat/clean freak and still got roaches from neighbors...in a nice newer pretty subdivision. 'They' moved in next door and within a year were crawling over the walls....then inside the house.

I think we saw a couple fleas in the house. The dogs got just got a bath and one had a tick. They are all on Advantage.

We have seen some little spiders, and maybe some other weird looking things. Not a ton of bugs. Not like they are crawling all over the bed.

But we prefer to have a 100% bug free house.

The deed is done. I already fumigated, top to bottom and left the grow rooms closed. I am about to throw a No Pest Strip into each one and let sit overnight.

Probably wouldnt have been a big deal till them little fucking crickets ate my seedlings.

LOL...sorry man but never heard of crickets eating seedlings but guess so. You got mice? Those little buggers will for sure see a seedling as a delicacy. Had a friend who lost a few hundred seedlings...seems the mice would pull up the little baby and eat the plant below ground and leave the above ground evidence. A bug free house is not possible so forget about it :spank:

Bummer to lose those seedlings...I know beans can be costly but lots of free stuff out there too.

Anyway...know you'll figure this whole thing out in the long run.
