How do I get rid of bugs in my apartment?

How do I get rid of bugs in my apartment?

  • I live on the first floor and make sure to keep the windows closed, at least in my room, but these bugs always show up. It's a mix of creepy long legged spiders and small white roach things and there disgusting. I HATE bugs. I can't even sleep on my bed because it's just a mattress on the floor and I really don't want bugs crawling all over me well I sleep. I have to admit, my apartment isn't the cleanest, but I'll gladly keep it sparkling if it would get rid of the bugs. How can I get rid of them, what would work best? And how are they getting into my apartment? What can I do to KEEP them out? >:C

  • Answer:

    For starters, keeping a clean environment is probably a good idea if you are trying to keep food seeking bug critters out.... Secondly, some bugs don't care about whether or not your floors are shiny, and will come on in anyway!. Eliminate your bugs by: - Cleaning your place (particularly food scraps etc) - Lemon juice on a duster/cobeweb remover around the doors, windows and corners/ceilings is a good natural remedy to keeping spiders out - however they do consume some of your other bugs.... Finally, in the event you cannot get rid of them, no matter what you do.... I'd watch the movie Joe's Apartment. After seeing that, you will appreciate how small your bug problem really is...

Call the apartment maintance and report the problem tell them they need to spray around the outside of your place and the inside, that should do it. And clean very good. There are some in home sprays you can get to spray your baseboard and in the kitchen.

Maybe the bugs can't change any more ,but you can make some change from yourself,such as listen some silent music,or do something eles,so that can distract your attention,maybe you can hace a better feeling.

These bugs you're mentioning about are just attracted to light. So at night when you open your windows these bugs come in due to the light in your room. There's nothing much you can do about it. but i would recommend you use moth balls,or Naphthalene balls as it will keep them under control to an extent. Also use any insect repellents. The gas that come in small cans, Or any air freshener. The cannot stand the smell of those. Anyway make sure you keep your apartment clean, or now its just bugs later you'll have to deal with cockroaches and Rodents! Hope this helped :)

Terminix : ) Got rid of the black widow infestation at least at my house, but they are all over the neighborhood where I live. If u can't afford it make sure no food or crumbs are left anywhere, make sure your stuff is neat and tidy bc bugs love clutter - especially roaches. And if they are white that means they are babies, they will get bigger and they will multiply. Try spraying your whole apartment with raid and get some bug candles, boric acid and bomb that sucker. I hate bugs too and I used to live in downtown LA so believe me if theres a way I've tried it lol good luck : )
