David here with Saskatoon Pest Busters.
Here are the 3 main things I learned doing pest control that could potentially help you.
Cockroaches
They have antenni where their eyes go. They basically see by smell. Spreading insecticide around is a repellent and can make them scatter. Rather put strong smelling foods in discreet places to lure them in. It will be easier to eliminate them when they are mostly concentrated in one spot. I do recommend hiring a professional to eliminate them.
Bed bugs
The best thing people can do to stop bed bugs is stop them from spreading. If you are dealing with a bed bug problem don’t move, stay in a hotel, or have people over. When you leave put on a fresh pair clothes and make sure to shower often. Vacuum often, keep up with laundry, cover couches, and eliminate them as soon as possible.
If you suspect you have bed bugs or someone you know may have bed bugs feel free to phone me with an anonymous tip and I will try to solve the problem.
Mice
I'm not a fan of poisoning mice. Most people know about secondary poisoning. But they don’t realize they are poisoning the mouses predators. There is a chance mouse poison is causing more harm then good at eliminating a mouse problem. Because it detours predators from eating them. They are a very important food source. A good way to eliminate mice is with snap traps.
