Take garlic capsules not the no odor ones the regular good ol garlic capsules or if you like garlic eat it in stuff , pasta , pizza , bread , bagles whatever. It helps I dont know why it does but it does a little. Make shure you wash all your bedding vacume all your floors you can do things like put dried marigold and lavander in the bottom of your drawers under the chusions on chairs and couches (dont forget to wash , wipe down and vacume them as well. You ahve to do it every few days cuase whatever bugs new ones become mature , hatch or what not fairly quickly usually. Also if you dont mind lotions and stuff like that I have found that the Orignal skin so soft bath oil works just about as good as any advertised bug repellant. Also give your dogs a nice thourgh bath with a citrius based product to help if they have any on them. Good luck. I havent had problems much in my house but I cant go outside without getting eaten alive by misquitos Aparantly I taste good
