So, I've been paying almost a 100 bucks every few months for the pest man to come spray at my house. I thought that was pretty steep of a price, so I started doing some research to see if I could do it myself for any cheaper. I figured if I could just get my hands on the product that is similar to what they use I could do a decent job. Anyway, I found a product on Amazon called Demand CS. Has anybody used this product or something similar to do pest control yourself?
Depending on your particular vermin enemies, it can very likely be done for much less than $100/month...Quote:

if interested, tell me "who is the particular enemy?", and I could go on about how I defend the perimeter....
Positive Pest Control. Brookhaven, Ms. You can see their add on Last Chance U Seasom 1 when Co Lin beats them.
I swear by Telstar P. Good for pretty much any insect as well as spiders. I also spray around house to help with mosquitoes. I have been very satisfied. I used to get bit by mosquitos every time I went outside. Now I only get bit when I visit the neighbors.
Talstar P is what you should buyQuote:

Okay thanks for the advice on Talstar P. I will check it out. I've kind of watched the pest man when he has sprayed in the past and he made sure to get the points of entry like window seals, around the doors, etc. Any other areas I should focus on?

For armadillos, possums, raccoons, otters, beavers, woodchucks, rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, stray cats, & small deer:
