I worked in pest control for about 5 years, and I figured someone here might need some advice on how to deal with bugs and mice. So if you've ever wanted to know, now's your chance.

My biggest recommendation, right from the start: Never pay for pest control. You can do a better, more ethical job than any business ever will.

I want to edit to say, my inbox is always open for questions too.

    We had a bad ant problem at our last apartment.

    We moved and now it’s been like 6 months and i am seeing 2 or 3 ants a day on the floor of our bedroom. I think they are coming out from our box spring. I sprayed Raid ant killer on the inside of the box spring from the bottom and they stopped for a few days (though the smell kind of made us sick for a couple nights sleeping on it, yuck) but they are coming back now. How do i made sure these ants don’t infest our new apartment??

      I doubt they are coming from your box spring. Most types of ants will only form a colony outdoors in the dirt. Beyond that, follow the advice in this post .
