Heating plus A/C tips for avoiding a bug infestation
My home went from bug-free to bug infested, seemingly overnight, and it started with a few ants plus then the roaches showed up, then no amount of traps or poisons would get rid of them, but finally, the two of us had to call out the professionals! While our home was getting sprayed the two of us had to stay in a hotel, of course, this could have been like a mini holiday if not for the fact that the a/c in the hotel was so noisy.
I am not joking when I say that the a/c sounded like a garbage truck.
I made all sorts of banging, clanking, plus other sounds. It was impossible to sleep with the a/c on because of the sound plus it was impossible to sleep with the a/c off because of the heat. This went on for 2 afternoons. When the two of us were finally given the red light to go back to our own beach house the two of us were truly cheerful about it, but, of course, the two of us wanted to think what to do in order to keep the bugs from coming back. The exterminator told us a lot of respected sense things however then he also told us some things the two of us didn’t know. For example, he recommended getting a HVAC duct sealing done on our Heating plus A/C plan so that bugs don’t get into the home through gaps in our HVAC duct, but he also recommended running the a/c whenever it is hot, even if the two of us are not home. Bugs do not care for cold, dry air. They thrive in warm, humid air. So by using the a/c more the two of us would make it harder for bugs to live.
