1. Zevo is non-toxic to pets and works great. Walmart.
2. I click the ‘continue’ button when the Verizon screen pops up and it just moves onto the next sequential screen.
Just say no and opt out , Trac fone can do whatever they want....you can choose not to be a customers of theirs...its that simple. The bug juice is a compound that real exterminators use and the general public has no access/ potent stuff to all. God bless!
Did you put cellophane over your glass of apple cider vinegar and poke tiny holes in it? Surprised it didn’t work. Worked great for me.
Use this on both:
Take an empty food can with a banana peel in it, and place some cling wrap on top with a small hole. Wait a few hours, put your hand over it, take outside and release the flies. Repeat as necessary.
LOL! Thanks for the hint :-)
Thanks; we didn’t have that one, but we had another one with a blue light; it’s been in the kitchen for four days and hasn’t caught a single bug. I think the Raid stuff solved the problem; but if it hasn’t, I’ll look for your suggestion.
Yes, we did. It caught some bugs, and so did the red wine; but nothing like the scores that the beer and Raid did.
Thanks very much for your response.
Whew! I thought it was just me! I'll be going to war with some of these ideas tomorrow!
Thanks. I just don’t want to respond. I’m thinking of subscribing to one of those ‘old lady’ ones with the big buttons :-)
(The stuff he used seemed like a kind of white paste. It looked like a little white dot of toothpaste in the corners of the cabinets. I thought I had saved the name of the business, but I can’t find it now...)
2) German Roaches
3) Track Phone

No Open Food left out anywhere. Get a Bio Foam drain cleaner Home Deport for All sinks. With sensitive birds & fish, vacc all the flying critters and dump outside the home.
German Roaches…you brought them in. From used boxes (usually fruit flavored or hot bulk eggs) or used furniture/picture frames. Will take a Pro to get rid of them.
Track Phone…no idea. Damn it Jim, I'm just a exterminator.
How are you doing with your Bedbugs?
The bug spray I use in the kitchen is Great Value Cleaner with Bleach, 32 fl oz $1.48
If you see some fruit flies in your trash spray them and the peels or whatever with this, whatever brand you choose, if you are using a lot of vegetables then put the peelings and bits in sandwich bags.
Good luck.
It took us a while to discover whether we had fruit flies or drain flies - we also have a drain problem, and spent a lot of money on gel stuff that you put down the drain. But it looks now like they were definitely fruit flies.
They haven’t bothered me much, but they drive my husband nuts. I think we’ve finally solved it.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Somebody suggested pouring boiling water down the drain and later (not immediately) pouring vinegar. I don’t know how well that works, but I haven’t had much trouble lately. Make sure you wipe the drain clean every day or so to clear out food particles.
We’ve never had bedbugs, and haven’t had any roaches, German or otherwise, in over 25 years. This is the first time we’ve ever had fruit flies.
But if I ever need an exterminator I’ll call you, Dr. McCoy.
1. Roach Gel Bait...several active ingredients:

2. TracFone is a “MVNO” (mobile virtual network operator)...in other words they don’t operate/own any cellular network infrastructure. They “buy time/data” from “the big 3”. They must be using the Verizon network in your area and then you are subject to Verizon “disclosures”/data privacy policies, etc. (And technically TracFone is owned by Verizon, but “rides” on all 3 cellular carrier networks depending on location):

Thanks, I’ll remember it. We haven’t seen anything in the trash cans; just flying around the kitchen.
