    Does Orkin work? (f##king bugs)

    I am sick of these bugs in my room, hell I lived on a porch last year, but I cant stand it anymore. I tried spraying with 2 different pesticides and got little in the way of results. Im about ready to call orkin, do they work? How much?

    Thanks.

    (edit: I ask here because there are so many homeowners and renters)

    What kind of bugs? I've found (in dealing with fleas) that you can hire a pro for less than do-it-yourself. The pro killers give a guarantee so if it takes them 2 or 3 tries it doens't cost you any more. They have better chemicals too.

    The right chemicals are expensive in small quantities and aren't sold at you local Home Depot anyway. Agricultural/Farm supply places have the good stuff (it's behind the counter and you have to sign for it) if you're still in a do it yourself mood.
    If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.

    Spiders, earwigs and some sort of beetles have been the problem. There is an ag supply store in town so I may try that.

    This is a big year for earwigs!The little bastards are everywhere!It goes without saying,If they have unlimited access to your place,killing the ones that are there at the time won't get rid of the ones that move in to take their place.
    Calmer than you dude
