We have just had this done, all round the house and under, having copped
an infestation in the architraves of the windows and door of one of our
rooms (all this was meant to have been done last year, but we could only
find a couple of tiny bait traps, compared to the things we've just had
put in). They also baited the actual architraves in three spots with
boxes of bait about the size of half a shoebox. Once determined that
they've been effective, we'll have to replace those architraves.
Fortunately, at this stage it doesn't look like they've been anywhere
other than there.
Cheers,
