Whatāre you currently using? I hear ya, my wife would never tolerate bugs.
I mix boric acid in sugar syrup for summer pissants that find their way in. Carpenter ants or fire ants are a different story but easily treatable.

Yeah borax and sugar water for sweet eaters and borax and meat broth for meat eaters both methods are extremely effective.

Bit OT but still relatedā¦
There was talk about goverment controlled healthcare (US)
I live in a country where this is reality - I would like to offer my understanding on this.
Our system has both good and the bad.
The Good: Nobody is left to die on street. Broken bone, giving birth, hear attack ā¦ you will not go bankrupt.
The Bad: Diagnostic skills of doctors are diminishing resource ā¦ If the case is not open and shut case (like broken bone, heart attack, diabetes) etc. it is likely that you are not correctly diagnosed. This is partially true due to fact that doctors have very limited time per patient, doctors do not send for mri or test easily as they cause bills for hospital (goverment).
Attitude is that in 80% of cases this cure will help to these sympthoms. IF patient suggest something else the responce is that ā that affects only 2% of population ā you cant have thatā¦ EXCUSE MEā¦ if I have itā¦ I have itā¦ that 2% was forecast when I was born (will I ever get it) ā¦
The best system (as far as I know - have not lived with it so I dont know the potential pitfalls with it) is the Swiss system. Private insurance company gives out health insurance. This is mandatory. Goverment subsidices hevily insurance company to keep cost for customers reasonable. Patient can chose which private doctor they use.
( What I assume obamacare was supposed to be before it was watered down )
I have several medical conditions which are of the more difficult nature. I am now forced to attend private doctors at my own expense to get treatment - So I am effectly paying doubleā¦ one is the goverment health care (which has failed for me!) and then second time for private sector doctors.

Are you sure about that? None of the major news outlets have said anything about that, and surely that would be major news? I only see it on sites like Breitebart. Is the some Russian BS?
No, but it was reported in the link from āThe Hillā outlet. Hereās a different link:

MSN Helped explain my behaviour, as a father, with a pregnant, asthma-suffering daughter. I will fail if she gets it, she will be fine, no info on newborns ANYWHERE, so I am hyper aware. In the starting blocks, falling over waiting for the starter gun, while the track meet doesnāt start for a week. Iāve been late my entire life, not this time boogeyman. Cheers. Manic mechanics can do it all, at our paceā¦

Maybe Trump can do some EOās once he gets some good data from his āadvisersā.
Without all the interference from the house.
Weed stimulates the alternate thinking pattern/creative side (my reason for the bi-polar/cannabis link) in me instead of the āfollow the crowd drugs dull itā dumb stoner stereotype. Getting drunk on the other handā¦LOL

Weāre doing our best to treat anything coming to the home as being a possible point of infection.
Leaving items to sit for several days in the sunlight and/or wiping items down with disinfectant / spray with disinfectant / etc before overly handling them. Just trying to be careful since we donāt have good information at this point nor do we know how widespread this is.
We do have to be extra careful since we have someone >80 living with us.
