We get our yard sprayed for weeds every year, about year two the guy asked if we wanted him to spray for bugs as well, of course I said yes. We haven’t had ants or any other pests in our yard for years now. You can roll around in nothing but your skivvies and not get bit by anything or itch. Yes we have kids playing all the time and dogs. I’ll try and find out what he uses, whatever it is definitely works.
