There'd be no avoiding that if my house was wood frame. Other than a brief carpet beetle infestation that was easily remedied by bagging up some wool items and extra vacuuming, I've had it pretty easy. I have the occasional large wood roach or huntsman indoors, but, it's not like they can setup shop permanently in my home. I have had an issue with silverfish from time to time, but, now I just keep diatomaceous earth on the backs of all my book cases and closet shelves and that's taken care of that. I see the occasional one come in from outdoors, but, nothing crazy. Sometimes there's no choice, I've know people unfortunate enough to end up with bedbugs and that you need the pest guy for. Same thing with German cockroaches. Just been lucky and never had either. My parents had German cockroaches they caught from a friends house. It pretty much took bug bombing the house weekly to clear them.</blockquote>
