move?


chemical call Tremadur, i believe is the spelling. Thats what the professionals use, you can buy the stuff off ebay. I thinks its like 50.00 a gallon, takes about 5-6 gallons to do a 1800sq ft home. The hard part is digging a trench around your home about 4-6 inches deep and drill holes your house about every foot up to six foot high. You basically poor the trench full, and spray all the walls inside the house. Cheap cost is around 250-400 depending on the size of the house, you dont get a certification that is has been done but that dont matter if you plan on living there from no on. Professional to have it done cost between 1000-1500 or so.

Lorsban works pretty good! Just whitewash it completly and leave the house for a bout a week!

Lorsban work wonders, we had it in some mulch so i mixed 8oz to the gallon, which is an overkill, and put down 50 gallons around the house and under it, needless to say we had bugs that would run out into the floor and kick over on their backs dead for about 2 months, it stinks like all get out, but it works

Hello Loneagle
Are you finding holes dug in your yard, sod rolled up, grass uprooted? Don't scold the family dog. The culprit could be any one of four nocturnal animals: the opossum, the skunk, the raccoon or, if you live in certain areas of the U.S., the armadillo. All of these critters can damage a lawn in their nightly quest for their favorite delicacy, grubs.
There are several ways to discourage your nightly visitors. One is to remove the food supply, either with a diazinon spray or beneficial nematodes.
A second possibility is to pin down hardware cloth over the affected area.

Trolling I believe, dredging up a nine year old topic and changing the quote to a bogus link?

I assume the link is bogus, I'm sure not clicking on it.
