I am not sure what my husband uses...I will find out though. It is something he gets at the local co-op (farm) store and he mixes it into a pump sprayer thing. He sprays around the house and yard (not inside). The spray is pretty potent, it kills spiders, ticks/fleas, scropions, etc.
We don't let the dogs outside for a day or two after he sprays.
Mojo and Lily aren't really into eating or getting things like that.......as far as I know. Thank goodness!!!
For inside, we do the foggers every four months or so. We live in the country but I don't have an indoor bug problem....and I want to keep it that way! We move out the dishes and food and dog stuff. We will also leave for the weekend so the foggers can really do their work. When we get home, I will clean my room....sheets, sweep, etc and let the dogs in there. Wash all the dogs, linens, sweep floors, bring in everything...before they can roam the house. We have done this since we built this house (before Mojo came along) and have never had a problem.
The foggers are said to be really safe for animals and humans, and you don't need to re-wash everything, sweep, etc...but I do.....just so I feel better!!
