Tips for small infestation?
It started in march, I was seeing a lot of them daily. It slowly stopped completely in the kitchen after I sealed around the pipes.
They moved to the bathroom in June. I can’t seal anything in the bathroom due to how the sink and shower are placed. Then a family of big black spiders moved in and I think they ate most them tbh as I stopped seeing any by the end of June but I was seeing the spiders.
Then I did not see any at all until around 3 days ago, and I’ve found nymphs of different sizes in all rooms, I’d say a total of 7 within the last days.
Yes it’s an apartment, I’m aware they can travel between units but I want to prevent/stop them from infesting mine again.
I can’t use any of the products from the pinned post since I live in Europe and nothing besides advion is available. And the advion dries out within a few days plus I’ve never seen one eat it, they completely ignore it.
I don’t leave food or trash unsealed, I don’t leave dirty dishes after I eat, I use vents and leave windows open to avoid humidity. All cardboard has been thrown out already, and I’ve decluttered and cleaned any cabinet or furniture already. Whatever I own and don’t use has been sealed in airtight moving plastic boxes.
I’ve tried to use traps before but they didn’t catch even one, only the spiders. Placed them around appliances, behind furniture etc.
I used another bait (I think it was called magnum gel) which knocked out the population from the kitchen back in spring but now there aren’t enough to eat it and make a difference.
I feel like nothing works. I understand I will never permanently stop seeing any at all, but I don’t want them to make my house their home.
So any product, treatment recommendations would be greatly appreciated, especially from someone that has dealt with them in the EU since we don’t have access to most US products.
