It did help with little bugs this summer. The only bushes we have are in the front of the house and there are none of them there. They all seem to be located on our bedroom windows only, not any of the other windows in that area of the house.

We have some wasps again. I have seen a couple of the red ones which I know are the bad ones. In the summer we sprayed Yard Guard before we went out.
You're most welcome. Hubby vacuumed up a ton of them out of his upstairs office/Man Cave and said as soon as came back from emptying the vac. container, there were about 50 more on his ceiling! Aaack! Fortunately, I have a head cold and can't smell them, but hubby said they really reek!

But we do have Wasps (not as bad as the summer months) and I like the other hate them little suckers. I have built made a couple of the Wasp traps out of 2 Liter Soda Bottles but I don't know where to put the bait? Here is what they look like.. How to Make a Wasp Trap - wikiHow Calicouple our house is just like yours and like you we are from California also. We had Wasps is Calif but not like the ones heres. The ones here seem to be more aggressive unlike our laid-back ones there..
Thanks for the website LeeB You're right! No wasps like the ones in California. Oh the good old days! LOL LOL

sorry about the house, but ladybugs are good news, they eat bugs.

I usually agree with ladybugs being good, but these are Asian Lady Beetles that look identicle to ladybugs.

I kept everything closed yesterday and still got 4 in my bathroom. I'm now on constant ceiling lookout.
