      I made traps with vegetable oil and soy sauce. Just leave plastic cups with that half full inside all over the place outside where they generally are and have it be easy for them to climb up to. Within the day, usually after night you should find a lot a lot of them dead inside the next morning. The soy sauce attracts them, the vegetable oil keeps them slippery from climbing back up once climbing inside. At the least it keeps them preoccupied with those areas then finding you home more desirable.

    Thank you for the tips. However, I will not be using any chemicals around my plants which may or may not react adversely to the treatment. I will find an alternate method. So far I primarily only have minimal leaf damage, which I can live with before resorting to insecticides. Again, thank you for your time by offering useful information.

    We have an infestation of the tiniest ants & some type of ? That crawl on our skin face , nose & also in our hair I am having bumps like boils on my skin these bite terribly they r also in our furniture & clothing also on our dogs I'm even losing hair & weight. We are very clean people, I'm using pesricides,oils,vinegar, soda,borax for laundry & cleaning.my dogs are small & very clean ,& flea treated. I don't know where these came from but they are attacking us & my husband is literally dying from cancer right now he doesn't deserve this. We have just moved to a new home. They sent a pest guy out & he set traps for ants around . I think there is more to this . 🤔 wondering if they could be mites or drain flies . We need help

      It sounds like you might have bedbugs. They extremely hard to kill and really require professional treatment. The previous occupants of your property probably had them.

I had the light off so I didn't see it right then! I guess it felt a Lil safer (but it wasn't) & came out bout 20 mins later crawling on the wall cause I stripped & threw my clothes tf off!
