Yes, bugs are a real problem here in central Texas. That's because it usually doesn't get below freezing in winter, and if it does, it doesn't stay that way long enough to kill the bugs!!! I have to use organic pest control, e.g., diatamacious earth which will kill the earwigs and pill bugs and most anything else. It's a real challenge!
