my granny's place seems to be infested with all kinds of wierd looking bugs in the balcony area. she don't keep any plants or eat there. there are only some chairs and a table there, the place has been kept clean and dry but there's always bugs that flew from elsewhere and landed here.

what can be done?

another piece of advise is to avoid wearing dark clothing ....
somehow mosquito like dark areas.....

yes, baygon is good, the spray works great it apparently last for up to 3 months a spray - so once a month good to spray the whole apartment with it .what my mum usually does is when we plan to be out the whole day, she will spray the whole house close all the windows and doors and kept closed till we are back. Of course, once we are all home - she will open all the window and let it air for a while. That helps wonders - no mosquitoes and bug in the house.

Even, croaches die instant when they came to the house.

Insect repellant - that will help you too, they have the cream type and the spray type - i carry one with me most of the time - when i visit friends staying in landed home, i will make sure spray first - else surely get beaten.
