- we had them when we lived on an island and put containers of boric acid, i think it was, under furniture and it worked well. now we spray inside occasionally with ortho stuff and don't see anything. spiders is the main thing we had here in texas, but bugs don't bother me, just snakes!

- keep your home, etc. clean and use a good "bug spray" every month as well as "baits" that kill both the adult and the eggs they carry.

- diatomaceous earth! make sure you get food grade! amazon has it cheapest in 10lb boxes. otherwise, it's pricey. it will last a looong time and it's also great for us to ingest. start with a teaspoon at a time in oj. no taste and it helps clean us out and get rid of parasites and supplies us w/silica
