I read that doing bad things in a particular room, such as watching pornography or committing improper sexual acts, can invite demons into your home. Should my husband and I have our bedroom blessed? I haven’t noticed any demonic activity, but I am worried about my boys possibly getting attacked if we allowed Satan an entryway into our home.

I can't imagine it would hurt to have your bedroom blessed. So, if you can arrange for a priest to come to your home and do the blessing, then by all means, do so. Of course, ceasing the immoral acts in question is a must, or I imagine the effects of a blessing will be short lived. I've also created a prayer shrine in my bedroom, and keep holy water that I use for myself and to bless my godchildren on a regular basis.

Our priest says it is good to have the house blessed not just once, but every once in a while.

I also read that it is good to say, in one's home, the prayer from the sprinkling rite before Sunday Mass.

Seconded. Why not the whole house?
We've had weird stuff occasionally happen in our house ever since we moved in about 10 years ago. We've had the house blessed twice by a priest. We try to keep up with the yearly epiphany blessing, and I occasionally walk around the whole house sprinkling holy water. One of the usual intentions of my daily rosary is for the protection of my home and family. All of these things have seemed to help.

I would have your whole house blessed. Even enthroned to the Sacred Heart. It is also a good practice to pray over (and with) your children each night. My husband and I do family prayers and then he or I (or both) pray to their guardian angels and Mary and Our Lord on their behalf. Adding your family to my prayers.

I also encourage the enthronement of the Sacred Heart, if not already done. Here is a link that can help you do that:

You mean, the antiphon
Asperges me?

The rite in which Asperges me or Vidi aquam is sung, yes.
