I've used the products from this website for just basic maintenance, but in 2021 we bought a house that had a roach infestation my partner and I were unaware of (I guess they hid it well. I was freaking pissed). I tried everything from amazon/stores and even called an exterminator and I still saw some (over the course of like 4 months). I bought a bottle off this website for $10 and used a gallon sprayer and have never seen another roach since. Every six months or so I order another bottle and go around the yard to be safe. I don't know if this will work as well since bed bugs are hell to get rid of, but it could be a last resort, or you could use the products as a follow-up treatment like I did after the first extermination. I do believe that a lot of the stuff they sell is professional grade, so it should be the same type of products an exterminator would use. It probably depends on the case though. If it's to the point where you lift up your mattress and the corners are black and hundreds scatter, your home needs the be quarantined off and bombed (and the home heat treated) by a professional to kill them.

​

If you have a garage or a safe backyard to put some of your furniture/clothes outside and keep it covered from the elements, the negative-degree weather coming up should be cold enough to kill eggs. But I wouldn't bring them in until you have eradicated the little b*stards. Good luck OP.

​

edit: If you buy anything, make sure to read if it requires a separate sprayer. You can buy them elsewhere for a bit cheaper too!

People love to tailgate. Back in 2020, my partner and I were driving our newborn son (he was like a week old and 6 pounds) to his first doctors appointment and I was sitting in the back seat. We were going the speed limit on the road that takes us from ash grove to Willard when some assholes in a shitty ass truck suddenly speed up behind us. Mind you they could pass us at any time but they didn’t want to. They start tailgating us and swerving around frantically. I started freaking out but my partner remained calm and didn’t react to them.

They suddenly floored it past us while flipping us off and I figured we were in the clear, but no I was sadly mistaken. They stopped right in front of us and 2 men jumped out of the truck, I assume thinking my partner would pull over to confront them. There was no reaction time, if he had slammed his breaks we would of slammed into them, so he had to swerve into the ditch with our NEWBORN in the back seat to pass these guys. They hopped back in their truck and sped up to tailgate us again.

I wiped around with my “baby on board” sticker I had yet to put on and slammed it on the window.

They sped past us and left us alone.

I wish we had a dash cam because I called the police and since they had no tags there was nothing they could do to identify them as we were both pretty shaken up about the encounter and couldn’t really remember anything identifying about the vehicle type*.

Anytime I went to doctor appointments after that I packed my gun with me in the car just incase.

Freaking tweakers.
