I am looking for the strongest thing a person without a pest control license could get to spray my basement and crawlspaces. I want strong, deadly, toxic chemicals. The insects I want dead are mainly big house centipedes, their millions of babies, and the other bugs that keep them eating.

Is there a chemical that I could buy that will be worth my while? Or are the chemicals that will work only available to license holders?

I did a web check - always a good idea - and the first thing is to eliminate the basement as a friendly environment. Check the site of sc johnson which is a reputable firm and read up on their baygon product line. Should be available locally.

There is a product, usually only sold in Farm Stores. I can't remember its name, but it comes in a spray can. It is very powerful and it will kill them. However, you should know that it is very expensive. A tall can usually costs about $45.00.
But it works. Good Luck

That sounds perfect Jack! But without the name I don't know if I'll find it. If you could remember the name I would appreciate it!
