THE BEST CONTROL FOR
OCCASIONAL INVADERS   (36 Pages)

Occasional invaders are insect or arthropod pests that usually invade your building because outside conditions become too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry, etc. Others are attracted to your lights at night and a few occasionally enter in search of food. Most occasional invaders will not live inside for more than a few days, especially if you have reduced your humidity and practiced proper ventilation and sanitation including routinely cleaning with diluted Safe Solutions, Inc. Enzyme Cleaner or steam cleaning. They are doomed and any control other than vacuuming is unneeded. The only need for control then is to stop the visual annoyance of the occupants.
