Sheesh, what the hell? I remember your other thread. Do you know where they are getting in? I would want to figure that out and spray all around the house.

We live in a 100 year old farmer built wood frame home that's about as air/critter tight as a loose sieve. About twice a year, I spray all around the outside of the house with Demon WP. I spray ~18-24" of the yard, up to the bottom of the walls (pier and beam), around all of the doors and windows, under the house where the crawlspace is easily accessible, and any place that I think bugs might get in.

We still get mud daubers in the house (I think mostly newly hatched young), and the occasional other critter, but that seems to mostly kill everything off and keep it out. I don't mind the mud daubers too much (would be happy if they didn't get in) since they are solitary and unlikely to sting compared to a paper wasp that's protecting a large nest.
