HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) – The beetles will return to Houston in warmer weather, but you can prevent them from colonizing your home and yard.
You can do it yourself or hire a pest control service. However, if you are concerned about bugs, now is the time to take action.
Bugs are coming back! This is a hissing cockroach, and it won’t be directed to your home, but its cousins will be! Come see us tomorrow morning at 5 and 6 a.m. on # ABC13 to see how to keep them at bay! pic.twitter.com/aEnLSme5Do

“You take the Apex cockroach bait and make about 100 small, BB-sized dots in your kitchen. Under the edge of the cabinet. Under the sink where you see them,” said Ronny Wheeler of Solutions Pest and Lawn.
Wheeler says a lot of people see army snailworms on their plants as well.
He recommends using a product called Ignite. All you have to do is dilute it and spray it on your plants.

As far as fleas, fire ants, chinch bugs and crickets are concerned, distributing Bifen L / P granules will pay off in the coming weeks with a bug-free yard.
“You send it out and moisten it, and this product lasts a good five to six months,” said Wheeler.
The time to do this is now, before you see the pests return to your yard and home.
A bag of Bifen L / P is roughly $ 31, the Ignite $ 44.99, and the Apex $ 24.99.
