We have been having problems in our home recently with ants and cockroaches. Ewwwww, I know! It never got super bad, but bad enough that I would complain now and again. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to talk Alan into hiring a pest control company to spray, but he didn't want to fork out the money for that. I think he takes after his mother - he pinches every penny twice! In order to save money, Alan came up with the idea of setting off bug bombs in our family room, kitchen, laundry room, and hall area at one end of the house. In order to prepare for this, Alan laid plastic drop cloths all over to try to prevent any damage to our furniture. It looks a mess, but it served its purpose.
Alan also purchased these roach motels and placed them throughout the house.
All of this seems to have worked. I am just happy to have gotten rid of the ants that were perpetually in our laundry room and our kitchen pantry.

The ants are gone now, thank goodness. Now, I wonder what or when our next battle will be.

Ants and cockroaches would motivate me to let go of a few pennies, but then I've never held on as tightly as those men we're married to. I'm glad you were able to solve that problem!
