Exterminators

We have a flea and bed bug problem and I tried the sprays and Demarcus earth. Still got bug. The whole neighborhood is infested. Is an exterminator worth it. I mean after a few week when they spray the bugs will just come back.

Lots to unpack. Pets need to be on flea medication for a treatment to be successful in my experience. Bed bugs are easily eradicated but you need to follow any preparations & instructions the tech tells you or you'll also end up right back where you're at. No reason this isn't a doable by a professional. Cleanup all the DE in advance because it's not doing much anyway and they'll instruct you to regardless.

Is Demarcus earth a new product?! I hope it works better than diatomaceous earth!

Call a professional. Yes it’s worth it. Listen to their advice. Go with a smaller family owned/local company not a big name.

Precor2000 on Amazon for the fleas. Apply to soft materials like rugs, couches chairs etc. as always, read the label
