The best cockroach bait to eliminate pests from your home

By

Having cockroaches at home is no joke. They are linked to asthma and allergy attacks. Their droppings, saliva, and shed skin are well-known allergens that affect young kids and the elderly the most. One of our suggested cockroach baits will quickly get rid of the problem. Unlike sprays that only kill at direct contact, baits allow the insects to bring the poison to the nest to eradicate the whole colony.

If you are looking to exterminate cockroaches, you need to identify what species are you dealing with. The most common are the American and German cockroaches. Then, you must identify where their nest might be. Clean all the area thoroughly, place a few traps out of our collection around the affected area, and let them do the work for you. Once you see the results, look for cracks and crevices to seal to avoid resettling.

Is your basement dark and dreary? Basement walls aren’t always the most welcoming, and can easily contribute to an uninviting aesthetic (especially if the rest of your basement design is similarly lackluster). Depending on the existing conditions of your space, you could face a drab and boring background that interrupts the flow of your personal style. And when it comes to sprucing up this area of the home, many homeowners struggle to know how to paint a basement wall while also keeping the sub-level mold-free.

Perhaps you’ve considered basement paint ideas to spruce up your space. However, painting your basement walls is not the same as traditionally painting your interiors.

Paint manufacturers say "yes" — it is an essential wall painting technique — because they want the best possible surface for the paint to shine. Do-it-yourself (DIY) fans seem less thrilled about the process, mostly because it takes more time and money.

So, do you need primer when you paint? The reality is that not every painting project is the same, and the answer is not a clear-cut one.
