@001zlnv Sympathies! We just went through a distressingly large infestation. We finally broke down and sprayed once we were convinced it was cat-safe and they seem to have disappeared!

@zebratron2084

right now I'm leaning toward bait, but we'll see how bad it gets

@001zlnv The little traps that are basically ivermectin that they take back to their nests do seem to have been reducing our buggies' numbers before we sprayed. Make sure you get the kind that comes with the little anti-egg traps too, if possible. We used the Raid "Double Control" and they did seem to be at least done some good.
