No random nibbling!
I had to stop random nibbling during food preparation. I realized I could eat an entire days calories while fixing dinner! Now I stick a toothpick in my mouth or a piece of gum. This has really done the trick for me.
This is an odorless, colorless insecticide. I noticed ants coming into my apartment in my bathroom and at the entrance. I discovered they were coming out of a hole at the base of my toilet, so I gave it a spray there and around my entrance, and all I have seen are dead ants by that hole and no live ones anywhere. I use the spray around any place bugs can come in, around the base boards, window sills, etc. I get no spiders or anything surviving. Bug free!
