Creator's Key Takeaways
When you're buying bug spray with DE, you want at least 90% DE. Otherwise, it's not effective for the ticks.
Nothing goes in that room until you check for bed bugs. Bed bugs are impossible to get rid of, very expensive to get rid of.
If you live in a state where you can't do fireworks and you're highly disappointed about that, light your fireworks and tell them you are scaring away the birds.
