How do I keep bugs out of my apartment?
Q. I recently moved into a garden level apartment and the bugs are driving me crazy! I have earwigs, spiders, centipedes, some sort of tiny flying bug and, as of last night, crickets. I've tried spraying Raid around the windows and in the nooks and crannies and around the floorboards inside my apartment. I've even sprayed around my windows from the outside. I feel like every time I open my windows, it's a big invitation for them to come inside. It's a beautiful day today and I'm sitting here with my windows closed and the A/C on because I don't want more bugs coming in. My apartment manager has said she would call an exterminator, but that's only going to kill what's already inside. What do I do about the bugs outside that all seem to… [cont.]

A. Ortho home defence, it cost $10 a any home improvement store. You spray it along the interior and exterior (inside and outside) walls. It kills all the bugs you have and keeps them from coming back, for up to 3 months...

I have bugs on my outdoor ficus tree- how do I get rid of them?
Q. The leaves on the tips of the branches started to curl up. When you open them up, they are full of little white bugs (that resemble maggots- yuk) with black bugs in some. I bought Seven spray, but it doesn't seem to be killing them. More & more leaves are curling up. Help!

A. I used soapy water in a spray bottle (dishsoap) and sprayed the leaves on my night blooming jasmine tree for Aphids and it worked great and made it clean at the same time. I would give this a try!

Small round bugs around doors and windows, what kind and how to get rid of?
Q. I don't know what these bugs are but they are brownish-orange, about 1 cm small, round, and crawl all over the place. I found a bunch by the window and sliding glass door. They stick to the walls, curtains, and ceiling. Any idea what kind of bugs they are, where they are coming from, or how to kill them all?

A. Sounds to me like you may be a target for hibernation by the Multi colored Asian Lady Bird Beetle, Harmonia axyridis. malb have extreme varieties of spots, coloring, etc. The best way to identify them is to look at their pronotum (what appears to be their head) and see if there are black markings that form a "W" or "M" depending on how you are looking at them. If you see that, then you have MALB. Check out the link above. They can be a HUGE nuisance. If you do not have MALB, then you are going to have to be more specific in your description before I could identify it for you.

What is an effective way to deter bugs without killing them?
Q. The apartment complex has doorway lights on all night so bugs are attracted by the hundreds. I don't want to use any kind of poison but every time I open the door to walk the dog some bugs come in. Everyday there are these little black bugs by my front door.

I'm looking for old home remedies or something I can do to get rid of these bugs... no poison please! Thanks in advance for your answers

How do I get rid of bugs in my bedroom?

What type of bugs do rainbow lorikeets eat?
Q. I've read on many websites that rainbow lorikeets eat bugs among other things. Does anyone know what type of bugs they eat? Also, would they even eat them if they've been hand reared? We've had our little boy before he had feathers and he's now 8 months old so I don't think he would adapt to eating something alive now?
Asked by Smitten - Sun Aug 9 08:00:02 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Rainbow lorikeets enjoy eating pollen, nectar, and fruit (apples, berries, and pears are their favorites). They also eat some fruit flavored pellets. They can eat small bugs and grubs, but they don't need to eat bugs in order to be healthy. I went to The National Aviary in Pittsburgh in May and fed some rainbow lorikeets and asked questions about them. The employee responsible for taking care of the lorikeets at the National Aviary told me that is what they feed the lorikeets.

A. For every plant growing, there is an insect predator that can eat it. In most cases, there are many predators that will eat the plant. That means most organic home remedies using other plants like hot sauce attract the insects that eat peppers, such as bean Beatles and white flys and thrips. The shiny dried slime is indicative of snails / slug crawling across the leaf and eating it. If it is a snail, look for a large part of the leaf to be eaten away. If it is a big leaf, the snail will leave the veins and eat the tender part of the leaf. To get rid of the snail / slug spray with dish soap / water mixed at a consistency of a couple of Tablespoons per spray bottle full of water.

How to get rid of biting bugs in my house?
Q. I've been getting bug bites for a long time now. I find them on my body when I wake up in the morning. My house is clean and we recently cleaned all the beds. We also have put Hot Shot powder on the bottom of our walls. Does that help? I don't think they're big bugs, and I don't think they're mosquitos. How do I get rid of whatever's biting me?

A. If they bite around the waist and sock area they may be fleas. Summer is flea season. Or they may be bed bugs. Try a fumigant. Turn off the AC, close the windows, fumiage. leave for a while, Then come back and open the windows and area out the area. Maybe that will help.

If the . bug. has not been fixed in one cycle, then it would need to be re-milestoned. Another unnecessary spam+workload. Hence not every . bug. gets milestoned. We try to focus on a few . bugs. which we can try and fix and milestone them. ...
