I want to buys some kind of insecticide to spay around
outside of perimeter of home to keep bugs down.... ALL
kinds of bugs

There are many brands to chose from.

Any advice or links to reviews and what really works
well?  best bang for buck, et?

Also, are the granules better than a spray??

I would first concentrate on sealing any entry point into the house.  After
satisfied with that, consider chemicals to use as boundary block.  I would
use boric acid in an economy size bottle from the hardware store myself.  I
don't know if the big box stores carry these.  I get my locally here.
Further, I would be using same on the inside of the house at potential entry
points.

Well, these the two most clueless statements made here in a long time...


Insecticides are not "ALL made of the same compound".


That's quite the oxymoron. You have no idea what "synthetic" means, do you.
Hint: it means "not of natural origin". If it's 'synthetic', it's not
'found in a Chrysanthemum', it's manufacutred. Pyrethrum is simply the
dried flowers of two species of Chrysanthemum, and it's been used for
hundreds of years as an insecticide. If it's been altered with another
chemical, THEN it becomes synergized, but not "synthetic"

You're related to Stubby, aren't you.
