What do you guys use to spray around the house? Inside/outside.
I have used Bug Be Gone for inside and probably a few other random things from Lowes etc. I'm about to give it another round and figured there is probably something better that lasts longer etc.
Around the outside I use Bug Be Gone and a couple of different types of granules though I can remember which ones. I'll edit this after I have gone out and looked at the bags. If anyone has a super great method of killing off the noseeums that doesn't involve fire, hiring an exterminator or nuking my house from orbit post it up.

EDIT:
The two granules I have are Spectracide Triazicide and Hi Yield.

My neighbor has worked for Western for the past 35 years if you would like me to ask him tonight?

Sure. Though if he is an exterminator (no idea what Western is) he probably uses stuff non-licensed people can't buy.

Yeah, Western is a big contractor in the area. He does use non-licensed stuff but I am sure after 35 years he would know some home/retail stuff too.

I will ask him tonight. I printed out your post.

I picked up some Enforcer BugMax365 from Atwoods. It was pretty inexpensive but seems to be pretty effective. I'm not sure how long it will be before I need to re-apply. It says 1yr but I can't imagine it will be too effective for much longer than a month.
