Bombin?

I did this once. Forgot to tell neighbors i was doing it. They called the fire dept who broke down the doors while I was gone. So mention to your neighbors if you have any shared walls. As far as food whatever is in the fridge will be fine. I removed the rest of the food because everything in the house will have a very fine powdery residue. And it got in our closets also as we had louvered doors. plan on spending the whole next day wiping down things and vacuuming furniture etc and washing all the bedding. good luck

simple answer, yes. Are you doing the whole house or just certain rooms? we had to do the kids room once and we left the dresser drawers shut and removed the clothes from the closet. If your food is closed up and in a cupboard it should be fine but if you are opening the cupboard throw anything open away and was the tops of any cans. wipe off any plastic storage too.

Call hubby and tell him to purchase an outside bug exterminating spray that makes a barrier for the entry of the exterior type bugs. also, just spraying the interior is not enough, you need to search your home to points of entry, around the entire home including cracks and crevicesa, food and water sources... Including where the children are eating, I bet you will find many places where insects are getting food... put away all foods that are plastic wrapped... Clean the cupboards of dropped food crumbs monthly, sweep behind and under the refrigerator, trash can, pet bed, remove pet dishes and the pets... Depending on the vermin you have there are different methods of prevention, but, weekly cleaning under and on the shelves and cabinets helps! check all the window, door seals, screens, rubber tracks, including under doors, most wear away, and need to be replaced... house settle, and new cracks under doors, in walls appear. If there are bugs in closets, take the clothes out, but, if it is bed bugs, only hot washing or dry cleaning helps. You can dryclean with Dryel in your home. Placing the bombs in the center of the rooms, helps, and placing old towels under the door, can improve the overall effect. Start in the top room and move towards the final exit door. Plan to take EVERYTHING YOU NEED, because you cannot re-enter! so tell the kids, one chance to get their things, including a overnight bag with clothes, in case, there are other issues... ie more infestation then you thought... you need to air out the house, after use, so make sure screens are intact, before starting. I placed my dishes into the dishwasher that I need for dinner that night, but, opened up the cabinets. as long as food is sealed there should be issues, discard open foodstuffs... take up scatter rugs, so there is access to all of the floor, place these rugs, on hard floors, instead, wash where you are able. insects can enter cracks as small as 1/32nd of an inch or smaller... so seal the exterior, remove water sources, repair leaky faucets, remove exterior pet dishes nightly and wash them, keep shoes worn outside in one place of storage, to minimize insect acess. Try using socks and slippers in the house, even for guests, we have a new slipper socks basket for guests, they get to keep the socks as a gift from us... We get them on sale, to keep down the transfer of pollen, insects, dirt, debris, etc... Plan an entire house cleaning to keep the insects from returning, no child is too young to household chores, it teaches responsibility and accountability, a trait most children are losing as they go deeper into social media, and further from their families...

We bomb about 3 times a year. We have no bugs in the house. We live on a wooded lot and we do have snakes, etc. We treat the yard to remove food for the snakes, etc. We back up to a huge 85 acre wooded area with a creek so we have a lot of wildlife as well.

We use the Raid bomber that has 3/pack. For our house, we use 35 bombers, this includes 2 attics, garages and every room in the house.

First, I cover all bedding pillows, etc. I put all fruit or food items that are not in sealed containers in the fridge.

We leave the house for 3+ hours. It is a pain in the rear with 3 dogs to do this but it is SO worth it in the long run.

NOW.... while bombing is going on, hubby sprays the perimeter of the house with bug spray and treats the yard with bug repellant granules.

Although it is a HUGE pain in the rear... we do not have bugs, we have not had residual negative effects from the bombing.

Bombing just your house is great but to be most effective, you must also treat the yard and the perimeter of the house where bugs are likely to enter.

You cannot re-enter the house so make sure you have plenty of food, water, and whatever you need for those 3+ hours. In the past we have gone on picnics, gone to the movies, etc while the bombing was working.

Your fire alarms will go off, don't be alarmed but yes, do inform any close neighbors so the fire department won't be called.

When it is all said and done, you'll be glad you did it.!

I am curious why you are bombing the house. What are you having problems with?
