family tents with screened porch image
Paul
Moved out to the boonies last year and the bugs are driving me nuts, i just got 2 cans of othor home defense and sprayed inside and out and hopefully that will work well but i cant really be too mobile in my attic to spray. I know for a fact there is a family of birds up there, i see them going in and out of the eves. whats the most potent bug bomb I can get, I want something I need a hazmat suit to own.
Answer
You need to tighten up the roof, screen vents, close holes, etc to eliminate the birds. They in turn bring other critters and bugs. Older homes are hard to completely seal up, check the foundation, under porches, etc. Home Defense is a good barrier but if you already have bugs in the walls, then you aren't reaching them.
If you want to Nuke your home, first plug what you can, remember you still need ventilation in the attic, use screen. Then contact a pest exterminator who will tent your home and gas it. They use chemicals you cannot attain. Remember to plug the house first, least you gas and then get a new crop coming in from outside.

Hi Gear Corado 8 Tent Question?
Flower84
Hi we're looking to buy a large family tent with a good living area, with plenty of full height area. We really like the Hi Gear Corado 8 tent. Its perfect for us in all areas except one. We really like to have a porch area that is seperate from the internal carpeted living area. Ideally one with a ground sheet and a front that can be fully closed up or opened right up - its a good place for kitchen stuff and our dog to sleep :)
As far as i'm aware there isn't any Hi Gear add on you can get for the Corado 8 (please correct me if there is), but does anyone know of anything that would fit with the Corado 8 that may be another brand??
Thanks a lot

It appears that Hi-Gear is a UK brand. I've never encountered one, so I can't comment on its quality. Coleman, Eureka and Wenzel make 6- or 8-person tents, (Eureka even has a 12-person 3-room behemoth they call the "Condo"), with an attached screen room with floor, divider and closable window flaps, ranging in price from $150 (Wenzel) to over $800 (Eureka Condo). I didn't check to see if they were all available in the UK, but I'd be surprised if they are not. However, with the favorable (from your perspective) exchange rates, it might be worthwhile to buy from US-based reseller and pay for shipping, duties and VAT, and still save money.
Two comments about this type of tent. Reviewers almost universally agree that it takes two adults to set one up, so consider that before buying.
Also, an attached screen room might be nice for lounging, reading or playing games out of the reach of mosquitoes, but I would recommend _not_ eating in one, and certainly _NOT_ cooking in one. Insects and animals are attracted to the smell of food, and even if you clean carefully you will likely leave some crumbs behind. And fire inside tents is a very bad idea.
My suggestion is to look at a nice size tent, something you can sit around in if necessary when it rains, and get a separate screen room or easy-up canopy with screen walls to use as your kitchen/dining area. Setup the kitchen/dining area at least 25 feet from your tent.
