Basements harbor insects such as spiders crickets beetles centipedes and fleas. A yearly DDT emulsion spray on walls ceilings and floors can eradicate these pests if trash dirt and cobwebs are removed for thorough coverage. Do not spray near open flames or heat sources like furnaces water heaters or stoves.
