manholt Report post Posted January 20, 2015 Anyone have a safe fogger for RV? I have a tree beetle and "dog tick" problem in bus. I set off a fogger last Saturday and aired out bus Sunday. Have not seen the beetle but have ticks still alive! I'm leaving later today for a couple of weeks. Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickandlois Report post Posted January 20, 2015 Carl, Sprinkle some Borax around the coach rugs and other fabric areas where the ticks would hang out. It is acidic to many bugs and will not harm pets or people. Vacuum up when you return, got a feeling they will be very dead. Check this link, it does not mention tick's per say, but I really think it will work. http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2013/10/30-little-known-uses-for-household-borax.html Fleas and ticks. Had to look at a couple more sights ! http://www.boraxforfleas.com/ Rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks Rich, I'll give it a try and let you know! Found a beetle on bed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Sorry, Carl after that remark, my mind is going like mad with retorts. So I will just say to follow Rich's suggestion and check for guests before crawling into bed. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaypsmith Report post Posted January 21, 2015 If it's the old orange beetle, commonly called ladybugs, the only thing that works for me is a vacuum cleaner, I put a moth ball in the canister, then suck them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted January 23, 2015 Thank you Herman. I guess that between the delayed action off Fogger and Flea/Tick spray, my problem might be solved...have not seen a bug since the 20th. Could also be that they died of old age! I also spread some powder tide on floor ( accident), if tide can make things go boom and clean cloths, I suppose it will also get rid of bugs...I'll try that in the garage when I get home. I'm currently freezing on a ranch between Ingram & Mountain Home, Texas...the ground around my bus is white! My beetle was gray! Thanks all. Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
