Don't let a bug running across the floor scare your buyers out the door!

If Dead bugs make you quesy don't scroll down!!
Roaches found in a home for sale... at least they were dead!

When you are selling your home whether vacant or occupied, dead bugs are a major turnoff and signal the buyer that there may be an infestation. What buyer wants to deal with that? I don't know of one!

Yes, they were in the overhead lighting too!
As they say, "Where there's smoke there's fire", and it's usually true. If you see one roach or ant, there are usually more hiding out or on the way. Granted, almost everyone has had to deal with bugs, and in some parts of the country it is unavoidable.

But you can take the precaution and have a professional spray for all nuisance insects. Don't forget about the yard either, have it sprayed too. If you don't like the idea of pesticides, look for an exterminator that has alternative natural sprays.

If you are a DIY'er use a spray from a local hardware store that works for several months like Raid Max Bug Barrier. I also recommend spraying your yard with Cutter Bug Free Backyard Spray for mosquitoes, it works really well. I can say that this is an amazing product and it lasts for weeks, even through the rain! Buyers can actually linger and enjoy looking at your yard and pool without getting biten by mosquitoes or flies.
You can also find safe pesticides from EcoSmart, they have a wide array of products for the inside and outside of your home.
If your house is vacant, keep the dead bugs swept up and out of sight. You might have to do this often until the problem is under control, but worth the effort. If you're not around get a very nice neighbor or relative to do it for you.
