If you keep fresh fruit in your home, You may soon have a Fruit fly problem. No worries, Just place some of whatever is attracting them in a Styrofoam cup. Put cling wrap over the top, secure with a rubber band. Poke holes in the cling film with a toothpick. They clime in the holes & can't get back out. Works for me every time. Enjoy your fresh fruit without the pests like we do here in Florida year round.
Apple vinegar and a little dish soap in a bowl works too. They're attracted to the smell and when they touch the liquid they get stuck because the soap breaks the surface tension.
your some kind of wizard aren't you.
I'm in South Florida and I'm more worried about those big ass ugly 3 inch long flying cockroaches

Stink bugs have been around a hell of a lot longer than 1996!! I was a teen in the 70's, and I remember having some stink bugs land around our house during their mating season, because we were next to an empty field with old trees.
Those plastic bottle traps work for any flying insect. You just have to look online to see what solution to put in the bottle to attract the flying insect you are trying to get rid of.
Yeah I can't believe he said that. I remember playing with stink bugs as a kid in the early 80's haha.
They may have been seen but not officially documented until 1996 though.
There are native species, yes, but they refer to the invasive brown marmorated stink bug from Asia which was discovered in Allen town, PA in 1996. It is a huge agricultural pest because they have no natural predators. They invade buildings and homes to over winter where their smell becomes a problem. They're a nuisance, but don't harm humans. They do a lot of damage to crops.
i was caught by this one too. Stink bugs have always been around the midwest. But upon listening to it again i got that he was talking about the invasive species.
He was referring to the brown ones. Those green stinkers have always been around.
I had a German cockroach Prineville in my house, it became a pretty big problem in our town. I live in Canada so in January it got to -35 Celsius or -31F. I drained all of our water lines, opened the windows, turned on a bunch of fans to quickly spread the cold air around and left the house alone for a couple days. Turned the heat back on, it took a while day four the furnace to heat the house again, but I never saw another roach in my house. Easy fix if you live in Canada, chemical free.
Yes this worked well for me too. Also put boxes, furniture in a truck or trailer in the winter.
One became prime-minister!
Mosquitos are food for birds and bats. That's why you should never kill a bat. Mosquito's are they're main food.
Why should I kill a bat?
Nobody said to kill a bat and FYI the reason bats eat so many mosquitoes is because there are that many mosquitoes. Bats will eat tons of other insects so if mosquitoes go missing the bats are not going to go hungry. Mosquitoes can spread over 40 different diseases, some which are lethal, to humans and animals. mosquitoes have no good purpose - the world would be a much better place without them.
bats in the u.s, mostly eat moths
*their ffs!

Yikes!! 😱 I get the heebie-jeebies looking at all of these bugs and pests! Thanks for some great tricks to get rid of them!
My brother is a great wood worker and made some awesome carpenter bee traps! I have one outside on my deck (that they are destroying) and it works great!
P.s... You should have showed more of the fire ant nest casts, they're incredible!! 😉
Please provide pictures, or plans, for the carpenter bee traps. Thanks.
I stayed at a hotel recently and had switched the lights off whilst laying naked on my bed doing some work on my laptop, whilst laying there I saw two small spots crawling towards my knob 😳 I switched the lights on and saw two bedbugs to my horror. I informed the hotel who didn’t seem too bothered about it I definitely would not staying there again.
Ya how would anyone get rid of them without paying a arm n leg to get rid of them ? I know someone that has then but can't afford to treat her house 😭🙏
@@tashaorcutt8515 All you need is 118 degree heat for a couple hours in the area affected. You can close up the bedroom in Summer and place a couple of space heaters inside and it should do the trick. Just be very careful not to place them close to anything flammable. If you live in Phoenix, AZ or Las Vegas, NV, you can just turn the AC off for a day and nature will handle it!
Tea tree oil kills them.
@Semore Butts You need some help I think dude.
Five gallon buckets make excellent mouse traps. Mice can't jump out when they get in there. We drill a couple of small 1/8 inch diameter holes - 180 degrees across from each other, about a 1/2 inch from the top. Then put a straight piece of coat hanger wire in the holes across the top. Bend the ends over so it will stay. Put the wire inside a 12 oz sturdy plastic bottle with lid and drill holes at the top and bottom of the bottle so the bottle will spin on the wire. Then put some peanut butter on the bottle. The mice will fall off the bottle when they go for the peanut butter. Actually you don't even need to do all that. We have found dead mice in the bottoms of plain empty 5 gallon buckets that never had a trap mechanism put on them and didn't even have any bait in them. I have put a few pieces of dog good and a teaspoon of peanut butter on the bottom of an empty 5 gallon bucket and caught mice only doing that!
Mythbusters proved pretty definitively that the water bag trap for flies is absolute junk. If I remember not only did it not work, it attracted more flies than anything.
diatomaceous earth works on all crawling insects. I LOVE it
My house has many centipedes. Mouse glue traps work well with them too. Mostly I just squash them when I see them. I hate the idea of them crawling on my face while I sleep.
Diatomaceous earth really works. I didn't want to use it I didn't want to put dirt in my house but I was desperate. It's not really dirt like I thought. You hardly even know it's there. So don't be afraid to use it.
@@jomart9157 we live in between a school and a nursing home so there's always a roach problem. There's been some bed bug problems in our town and the ants are always ever-present. A fellow from Louisiana lived in our house before we did so we had 3 or 4 brown recluse in our basement so we use it for those things too. There's a fine dust of DE all over our home.
For inside the house to get flys, take a spray bottle fill with water,Add ohhh half teaspoon of dish soap to like a 16oz bottle , shake it up till it gets sudsy. Spray fly as fast as you can & it makes them so they can't fly then dispose of them
GoJo is an excellent treatment for fire ant bites. If put on immediately after being bit it will take away sting and prevent festering. Generously apply and let dry.
In Brazil we have various names for fire ants, but my favorite one is clean foot, because they gonna clean you foot out of existence ;w;
Omfg🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The mouse trap can be done much easier. Use the rod in the center top portion with an empty soda can that spins on the rod. Cover the can with peanut butter, and move it to the center of the rod and bucket.
Use 2 ramps on either side of the bucket .
The mouse or rat climbs the ramp, jumps to the can to get the peanut butter, the can spins, and they fall into the bucket. 5 gallon bucket or larger.
You can let them go away from your house, or you can put water in the bucket, and they will drown.
I have used 2 of these for a year and a half, and have gotten rid of over 30 mice and rats.
I've been spending $5 per bag for fly traps. I feed the outside cats there's 4 regulars that come when I leave for work, and when I return. I normally don't have a problem, except with ants. But this spring 2022, the amount of flies was horrendous. I'd never seen so many flies. Those fly bags work. Just get a couple gallon Ziploc bags to put the full icky fly bag in, because they'll escape into the trash can if you are just using a couple trash bags to put it in. Larvae crawled out somehow. 🤢 Washed out the trash can. But yes they work. Never occurred to me to make a DIY fly trap.
The other bug traps, simple and genius. Thank you for the video, greatly appreciated.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.

I always check hotel beds and rooms for bedbugs. My son had an infestation in his house. Those things are so hard to get rid of. They can hide in the walls.
Some of those moths on that sheet or just downright striking and there's some of the shots it looks like it's art it's beautiful mother nature is so fascinating she has from the ugliest to the most beautiful
The heat lamp pan of dish soap also is great to help with fleas they are attracted to the heat from the light and drown
Even a lamp works in a pinch
@@peggypasson8794 i vfc wouldn't waste electricity on those monstrosities, jist dress warm and freeze the damn things.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My first memory in life is my mom pulling red ants off my eyelids after my brothers put me on a red ant pile when I was a baby!
I remember that she put me in a tub of water and started pulling them off!
Needless to say my brothers got a whipping!!!
Oh that's jist MEAN.😔
That mosquito cake was incredibly disgusting but even more satisfying.
Ok you said stink bugs were first discovered in Allentown PA in 1996 and spread, I’m 57 and used to have stink bugs all around our house when I was kid in the 70s. And yes after you kill one you don’t do it again they stink like some sort of chemical that is hard to describe, perhaps mothballs mixed with naphtha and pine tar.
Bug spray works good, no stink either when you use raid lol
a blissful afternoon to a blistering episode
When camping we brought canned vienna sausage with us we decided we didn't like them but when we came back we found dozens of yellow jackets drowned themselves.
I’m glad you mentioned about wasps as an allotment owner growing vegetables I can say they are the best natural defence against pests destroying crops so please dont just kill wasps indiscriminately as they do mor good than harm honestly, at the end of the summer when the nests decline wasps will seek out sweet substances for food as their natural food given by larvae in the nests stops so they will look for anything they can feed on hence the annoying contact, its easy leave something sweet well away from the house, kids and animals and you will be fine trust me it works.
I work at a popular home improvement store. I'm always asking customers what they're trying kill. If it's wasps, I tell them how they kill large amounts of mosqueetos and Flys! They generally agree they're worth living with.
@@KarenHernandez-wb9mm Most wasps are pretty good pollinators too.
Paper wasps are a farmers friend for sure. They feed on the cabbage loopers that eat cabbage, broccoli and all the brassicas, really.
@@jessicalightwarrior7276 And no Gardner/farmer wants their brassicas fiddled with 👍🏻
I had that same thought about the moths attracted to the white sheet earlier in the video. Not all bugs are bad but most people will kill anything. Ladybugs for instance, are GOOD, they eat mites and other infestations. We do all have the Internet now so there is no excuse for not taking pictures of a critter and describing it in a search engine to learn more.
Just 4 decades ago, it was common for vehicles driven at dusk or at night to be COVERED with bugs, killed on the Windshield or front of the vehicle. Not anymore. I wonder how long it will be before it moves up the food chain to people? Probably not much longer.
I live in Washington state and I remember stink bugs being a problem when I was a kid back in the early 60s!
CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU DIDN''T SHOW THE ENTIRE FIRE ANT ART FINALE'
Its because they make these stupid click bait videos, he should have known the people pouring the molten aluminum down the ant hole was doing it for art work. Check it out online its quite a process and cool to watch. They use melted aluminum soda cans
Place a few bottle corks (new or used) in the bottom of fruit bowls or on top of soil in potted plants to deter fruit flies and gnats indoors; something about cork they don't like. For mosquitoes and spiders add a few drops of peppermint oil to cotton ball or soak a cork briefly in peppermint oil (add more oil as needed as it will eventually dry out and the scent will disappear) and place near doors and windows inside or just outside (peppermint oil can get pretty strong and make eyes water so often just outside doors and windows is better especially if a room is small or not well ventilated.)
THANK YOU
I got a mattress from a friend and never knew there was bedbugs in it. My floor has a carpet. I noticed shortly that I had those little buggers. So i got rid of them on my mattress with bug spray and put plastic on my foundation so it reach the floor. They couldn't climb the plastic. Then I sprinkled baking soda over a 4 inch path all around my bed. Those that tried to climb the plastic was covered with the baking soda carried it to their nest and within a week I wasn't pestered with bedbugs anymore. Do it. It works.
Wow I wish I knew that
Could you please explain more about where you put the plastic?
I don’t have a headboard.
Hope you thanked you friend for the mattress LOL
Borax should work as well.
Fire ants are a lot at Myrtle Beach: I am from Quebe and didn’t know that ants but I remember a lot of the burning!!
I think that hooker gave me fire ants
I like the sheet idea for insects.
Indoor bedbugs.....when you boil a kettle....pour the spare water into a bowl....place it NEAR the bed on the floor,then leave the room closed.
Flies.....similar technique....pour a little boiled water into an UNWASHED jam jar....place it in the kitchen.
The light trap is cool !!
New Subscriber. Keep the videos coming
good information
Beware of eliminating the fire ants in your yard. You can see their mounds and avoid them. The ants eliminate flees. Eliminate the ants and you may have an infestation of flees in the yard that you cannot see and avoid. Kentucky
Termites bite is not very pleasant either, it's designed to melt wood, so flesh has no chance. At least the ones in the jungles of Panama have a horrible bite.
The bottle fly trap , can be used with horse flys - same deal , without so much meat & a bit of water .
When next having chicken , or kidneys ( works best ) save a bit for the base of the trap , cover the meat or offal , with a little water , place in sunnyest part of the yard - the bottle will need to be emptied regularly - 2-3 times a week . Place all the contents into a open furrow in your garden , allow the birds to come eat the maggots , if any , then cover over, allow nature to nuture your soil & help provide a more abundant crop next year .
Copper Penny's , can be used in fruit trees which have curly leaf - just 1 or 2 per fruiting tree , thereafter no more curly leaf , a much healthier tree , possibly an increase in the yeild - just remember to feed your trees as they need food , just as we do , providing it , brings in rewards .
I trap June bugs with a light over soapy water at night. They fly into the light and fall into the soapy water. The next day the chickens and ducks go crazy for the bugs. We made a huge dent in the population last year, not so many this year.
All those moths and butterflies and wasps are pollinators that are responsible for much of the food we eat.
As a child I played on a fire ant hill in Florida, I was allergic luckily my siblings got help for me 😩
Of course, everyone has a plentiful supply of molten aluminium in their kitchen don't they??!!
boiling water works well too.
Use a fly slap or the one method - use your slipper and swipe as fast as possible to hit the fly
Try buying ladybugs and release them into your home. Once the ladybugs die, all of your smaller insects are no longer a problem. Bio friendly, no risk of alergy, and just vaccuum them up when the have consumed everything.
Interesting 🙂
My home is Not an eco friendly place for bugs! They can go live where people don’t and we’ll all get along fine.
I had a bad infestation of bed bugs. I found that spraying sanitizer kills the bugs. Only drawback, since no poison involved (sanitizer is just spirit that evaporates quickly) ants come to eat the dead bugs. 🤣🤣🤣
Nice of the ants. A heat gun or hair dryer should kill them pretty quickly.
I once heard that Bedbugs were nigh annihilated by humans in the 60s or something. But the poison that was used against them was also bad for humans and so was illegalized and their populations have recovered since. No idea how true it is, I never fact checked it. But I thought it was interesting.
@@Broockle I know some insecticides were banned, but not about bed bugs.
@@comfortablynumb9342 there are people who just don't want to use insecticides.

The Casting Of The Fire Ants Hill.Was Checked By Scientist,Before Pouring That Heated Metal In…,and Found It Was Not Occupied ,You Should Include That In Your Video
But you want it occupied to kill those little demons with molten metal just like in the Bible. 😂😂
I'd love to see the aluminium casting that came out of the ants' nest.
Not sure it's worth the effort it would take nor the price for the aluminum. Easier all around to just pour stale pee into the beds. Just sayin.
I'm sure you're right, it's a most extravagant way to despatch a few ants into the hereafter, but the resulting aluminium casting could be a work of art.
You should search youtube. There is one done from cement that took a whole truck to pour and it took them a month to dig out.
The result was amazing.
Do yourself the favour.

Blessings:)
Fire ant venom is very similar to a wasp's. But each individual has only a tiny amount. Individual bites really only itch pretty good. A hanfull of sting/bites are not a big deal. When they get you en masse is when you've got a big problem. Also, there is the nest you see bulging up from the ground, but there can be other exits around the vicinity of the main mound. It is amazing how fast they swam. Just put a stick down the nest and watch how fast the little demons cover it.
Little demons is right. Fire ants kill other ants in the area, ants that pose no harm to humans, unlike those little demons. 😅😅
They are kissin-cuzins, so to speak.
Fire ant bites sting, burn and itch all at the same time, and in my case last for a couple of hours. If they're able to inject a good size load of venom, you get a white pus bump that can last for a few days unless you pop it.
what is the kill for a colony of fire ants as you described?
A handful of stings IS a big deal. I mean, a single wasp sting hurts worse than fire ants, but after the fire ants sting wears off, it itches like crazy.
My cat solves my bug problems...
I've heard that a mixture of honey and yeast works well for fire ants.
LoL...guy buries a plastic cup in dirt to catch black beetles and a couple spiders! They're not pests!
Any insect can be a pest if it's not wanted there.
Melted aluminum is more dangerous than any fire ant bite. Boiling water instead. Aluminum, Bad idea.
that mantis on the tarp buffet
I move around a lot so I have delt with just about all of these.
Obviously I can't give my experiences or I surely would. The truth is, - is that I would probably run
out of memory !
I will only mention one of my latest 'friends' -
The Cockroach (only TWO syllables !).
From underneath the door,
there was just enough room for Mr.& Mrs. roach to sneak in - in the middle of the real-late night.
American cockroach. Big ? Late that 'early morning' I looked over on the sill of our window - and I first thought it was some small animal; UMM, yeah,
this small nocturnal creature slowly lumbering along - for-an-insect, - was
HUGE - ENORMOUS 😵😵
This winged behemoth was the size of a small compact automobile !
After losing it, it was suddenly flying (yes can you believe it !) across the living-room and then 'coming to rest' on our couch. They look like some kids small model aeroplane. I swear they are even BIGGER with their wings out, droning while they slowly bob and weave. Killing these monsters is no easy task,
these things are 'tough' !
As one was moving about slowly on our living-room carpet - like a large, very tired predator at the end of a long night, - I came down on him like swinging a 4lb.
carpenter's hammer - Sheee-it -
he just looked up at me and laughed at that. So be prepared with trying to dispatch them thinking it's just a simple matter to squish them; it isn't.
Mosquitoes are EXTREMELY important to many other animals.... especially bats.
Mosquitoes and all flying insect are food. They consume tones of insect that would cause damage to crops. Birds eat insects too. When chicks are growing, they need the protein to grow flight feathers.
The yellow jacket trap will only catch the some of the workers. The nest still exists and the queen(s), males and other workers are still alive.
Bed bugs can be starved, but it takes months. Usually causing them to disperse to other inhabited areas.
My father's master bedroom in his house is infested with bed bugs. He won't do anything about it - we have had long discussions about this. He is nearing the end of his time. As soon as that happens, we are going to to seal off his bedroom and bomb the heck out of it with bug killing bombs. Let that settle in for a few days, then throw away everything in his bedroom. No way do we want that to come back home us.
@@billyoung8118 Your situation hits a nerve with me. Caused by my own battle with them. They will find their way into any rooms where they can get blood or food. They also go under walls to avoid gas / poison or heat. Be very carefull about disclosure of the infestation when you sell his house. Stay within the law to protect yourself from future litigation.. Best of luck.
fully grown bedbugs can live 1 year without blood.
@@billyoung8118 bombs wont get rid of them. Heat is the only viable option to actually kill bedbugs
they are not just in that room at this point. they are in the walls, in the floor etc. It will take multiple sessions to help. Bed bugs wont just go away after one bomb or 1 heat session.
Fire ants, 'immense pain'? XD
8:14 mosquitos are an important food supply for many birds n things....
3:18 as a person with mottephobia if i saw this in real life i'd die instantly
Well, i don't have any bamboo, but here in the USA if you want to catch a bothersome snake put an egg in a minnow trap. 👍
If all Humans Fight toghether, we could extinkt all insects.... Bravo
As long as it does not damage the indigenous insect populations... which some of the traps certainly do!
Not sure where the timeline of the fall of 1996 for stink bug discovery is from. I'm from GA, and knew of stink bugs as early as 1989. Maybe the narrator mispoke and it was supposed to be 1896.
I don’t understand the white sheet trap. It’s a great way to attract all the flys and bugs but how is it a trap when they can fly away as soon as you turn off the light. Does the white sheet have some kinda adhesive?
Five and seven watt lasers will also disperse any flying insect I've come across in Arizona so far. And if it has a adjustable filter that does a shotgun effect it works even better.
I got stung by one yellow jacket... it bit and stung simultaneously in 8 different spots all around my STOMACH and belly button. It got stuck in my shirt as i was on a 4 wheeler... everytime the wind hit my shirt it stung. In the matter of seconds i was pulled over and it got in between my pants and my stomach and stung and bit again.
I had never been stung.. thankfully my exes aunt was a nurse as i was in the middle of nowhere maine and FAR from any hospitals. i had to take so much benadryl i even had to dissolve a benadryl pill under my tongue (for my body to accept it quicker)
I have a phobia of ants coz when I was a kid my dad built pool in garden for summer and I went out to enjoy it one day and put my towel on bench wen I was done I got out wrapped towel round me not realising it was infested with ants and got stung from chest all way down to my knees. I screamed so bad and had to be hosed down for ages. I freak out when ever I see them now 30+yrs later
Insects eg moosquitos can also be a part of the eco system and can be important to frogs. Frog populations have been declining
Not because of a mosquito shortage.
Yeah, pouring molten aluminum down their nest hole is definitely a
cool way to get rid of them! 🤣😁😆
"Smash that lik--" *THUMBS DOWN*
Love the fire ant casting, though.
I have what I'm guessing is drain flies. They aren't fruit flies but tiny black flies. I have put baking soda, salt, and vinegar in the drains overnight several times followed by boiling water and they still persist. I don't know what to do to get rid of them! They are so annoying
Paper masking tape's adhesive will attract cockroaches. Once on they don't come off, then just throw away.
I found a quick and easy way too get rid of bed bugs. You can get your small electric heater. Bed bug are attracted to heat from our bodies. If you put your heater on the floor in the room you suspect you have them. Set on the floor behind the heater. They come running to the heat source. They will get to close to the heater, zap zap zap. Do that until you don’t hear anymore zaps. Then do this again in one week. Some could have had hatchlings. End of your problem. It words and is cheaper you don’t have to leave your home.
I find hot water kills ants. It doesn't even need to be boiling, but hot, around 85 degrees C or hotter. The only problem is that after the ants have died, so will the grass wherever the water touches. I've now got around half a dozen bald patches in the grass in my back garden. I ought to put down fresh grass seed, but I wanted to see how long it would take for the grass to reseed itself. So far around 2 years and counting....
Have you tried using a funnel? One with a really long neck like the kind for adding oil to a vehicle.
@@RErnie-gv1hv Good idea! Next time I'll try pouring the water through a funnel so that it doesn't kill off the surrounding grass. 👍
Snake trap was probably filmed in Cambodia main because that's good eatin' to them that ain't got much else
Accidentally touched a stink bug with my lip when it was on my tea cup & I didn't see it. It was like a burn on my lip & really hurt.
😱
I have never had a cockroach in my home for 6 years. I mix water, dish soap and bleach or toilet domestos. I wipe all my floors cupboards, countertops with this mixture
3:26... bro shouldn't wear a white shirt while checking his light trap
14:46 for people who wears sunglasses lol
For mosquitoes you have to put a bowl of vinegar under your bed
So what was the Mosquito trap? They never told us. No idea how it is made.
look up CO2 mosquito trap
I just leave the spiders be in my house and they do the rest. One insect free house....no girlfriend either but hey ho
I'm up to 14 mice in my cellar.. they can't resist peanut butter...
That's a lie, my fathers house had been invaded by stink bugs for well over 3 decades.
if you have fleas. place a plate with dish soap on floor turn on a lamp and place it next to it.
With declining insect numbers worldwide, maybe it's not so wise to advocate wiping more of them out just because we find them inconvenient. Without insects, most plants simply cannot reproduce. We need these critters!
Molten aluminum has to be an incredibly expensive way to get rid of an ant hill. Lights, and chemical attractants may have the opposite effect from what you want because you may be pulling in more pests from the surrounding area. Set such traps away from the area you are trying to reduce the population. Extension agencies are in many counties throughout the US and are there not only for agricultural pest advice but for residential pest problems as well. The advise they give is based on research and often related to the conditions in your location.
Just melt down soft drink cans and that’s cheap aluminum.
People that do it melt down old aluminum soda cans. Check it out online aluminum ant hill art.
True but the finished product may be a work of art suitable for display.
I wonder if regular sugar ant bait (sugar water and borax) would work.
I did not know MARYLAND was consider "Southern"
Asian tiger mosquitos!!! Anyone have tips?
I'm worried the meat trap might also attract something that will come back later looking for a meal
😮🔥💕👍
Bed bugs solution...
Bring all mattesse and clothes outside room for thorough bugs removal. Now buy cheap vinegar (may add 10% water) and put in spray bottle. Spray into all the furniture and corner of room. All bed bugs will die. Wait for spray to dry and spray perfume, or spread baking soda to make room smell nice.
Sleep well bedbugfree.👍👍👍.
Diatomaceous Earth is about 11.00 a pound at any hardware store, whatever lands or walks on it will die, we got rid of bed bugs that infested our house from a used mattress we bought at a thrift store. We put down lines of that earth stuff all around every wall and piece of furniture we had as well as in between the mattresses on the bed, the diatomaceous earth works like miniature razor blades, it even took out flies, any bug that walks over it or lands on it will die on the spot. Million little slices on the body of whatever touches it, we use it for ants and everything now. Best ever. Kills cockroaches as well. We just cleaned up the powder all around except all the walls around. I even put it around the outside edges of my house, and now we have no bug issues. :)
your room will forever smell like vingar
