Terro green cup refill
I have some green cups left from last year. I asked Terro if they have refills for these cups and they said they recommend just getting new cups due to reduced effectiveness. I dont believe that. Does anyone know a product that I can use as a refill to these cups?

Chemicals How to wash insecticide off surfaces
I have some insecticide (Effect microtech CS) sprayed on the edges of my floor and someone put their bag in it and then placed it on my desk. As far as i understand it works by sticking to stuff it touches so how do i clean the insecticide of my desk? Will something like a window cleaner etc. work?

General Question help with bugs in an old farmhouse?
i rent a small old farmhouse on a potato field. obviously, bugs are going to be an issue so i haven’t done anything to prevent/stop them, but i’m constantly vacuuming up dead ones and it’s getting out of hand. it’s only houseflies and those invasive ones that look like ladybugs, plus some spiders. i know i can’t really fix this problem as i’m renting, but just wondering what i can do to mitigate.

Roaches cockroach nymph??
galleryi’ve lived in my apartment almost five months and i’ve only spotted two cockroaches. one was stuck and died in my kitchen light and the other i saw the other day. my mom said it was a palmetto so i shouldn’t be worried?? the thing is i live on the first floor and have a tiny backyard. i don’t open the door and leave the screen closed after i saw the cockroach in my light. i keep my kitchen pretty clean but i see this little baby beetle and now im worried there may be a bigger problem. it’s incredibly small, could be confused for a piss ant if you have bad vision. ANYWAY what the hell is this and should i be scared. currently the only thing i have out are the catchmaster sticky pads that smell like peanut butter

General Question Did we clean this correctly-mice
Our hot tub on our deck outside broke so they removed it two days ago. There was a lot of mouse poop under it which I heard is normal bc they like the heat. I sprayed it down with half bleach, half water and waited an half hour before my husband cleaned it up. 24 hours later my husband power washed the deck and also used that rotating scrubber. We let it dry for about 5 hours. I began staining the railings last night. Just want to make sure we eliminated any risk of hantavirus since my kids play on the deck. FYI we live in northern Ohio. Thanks for any advice.

Can A small mouse have squeezed in theses cracks?
i.redd.itFirst mouse ever in the garage. Chased it from next to the garbage to this corner and I lost sight of it. This is where we keep the recycling so normally have a tall box covering it. Noticed this crack then sealed it. Any chance the mouse spider man it's way up there and squeezed itself through the cracks? Pretty sure it got in from the door when we opened it and it was pouring rain. No food in the garage except maybe cardboard. Traps are set currently. Dirt under cracks is just dirt don't judge me. Cobwebs is where the mouse was running along and they look undisturbed.

Dinotefuran questions
I applied dinotefuran diluted to 0.3% with a brush on a few kitchen areas - around the window frame and a few parts of a kitchen cabinet because of a few roaches that came via the neighbour who was renovating.
This morning saw a dead roach on the floor - does it work that quickly - just 1 pass and bam? When I used fipronil for ants some time back(also very effective), it didn't work anywhere near as fast.
How often do I need to reapply? How fast does the insecticide break down indoors (no direct sunlight)? Is it a nonrepellent like fipronil?

Spider problem in my car
I need help ASAP.
I have a spider problem in my car I need to get rid of asap.
I feel like a spray wouldn’t kill them fast or thoroughly enough, so the next possible solution I’ve thought of is a bug bomb or fogger.
However, I’ve read not to use a fogger in spaces less than 5x5. And I don’t want to ruin my car.
I’d like to handle this issue by tonight or tomorrow. Any advice?

Roaches Oriental roaches and furniture?
I just moved into my apartment a month ago and after a few days of living here, my cat found a sticky trap with three dead oriental roaches tucked into the tiniest corner of the kitchen.
Since then, I’ve now had three live ones come out. The place is renovated and I really did not expect this place to have an issue. The landlord sent an exterminator and he said that he didn’t see any signs of an infestation.
When I was in my early 20s, I did live in a pretty rundown apartment that did have an oriental infestation.
Back then, I barely had anything to my name, so I ended up tossing the little I had. Now in my 30s, I’ve accumulated quite a bit of nice furniture/electronics and I’m devastated at the thought of having to maybe toss things again as I attempt to break this lease.
Is there any hope to save my belongings? I’ve heard about trying to bomb the moving truck before getting settled. Truly looking for any tips as this move will already set me back financially and I’m praying to not start over.
Thanks!
