Organic Pest Control That Works
Spring has finally arrived. time to get outside and do some spring cleaning and a few chores. Spring around here brings bugs. I mean crawling yucky bugs like ants and other unwelcome critters. No worries though, I use diatomaceous earth for organic pest control.
Sprinkle where bugs live and crawl. That's it. Works on ants, beetles, roaches, bedbugs,fleas and more.
The package says it kills in 24 hours. I saw a big reduction but it took a little longer for all signs of my ant problem to dissappear.
Use gloves when handling this, not because it's toxic but becuse it's an irritant on your skin

hints from Heloise in the newspaper had a recipe for roach paste, they got so smart that they can smell and avoid borax, even mixed with sugar. so Heloise said mix it with bacon grease, borax, sugar and diced onions, so it hides the smell, and they love the bacon smell. we mix it thick, roll a little ball of it and put it in the back of the cabinets, the roaches will eat it and take it home to the family and you wont ever ever ever have to worry about roaches again.. replace the little balls of paste whenever, I even used hamburger grease.. it works great. and I live in florida were we have giant flying roaches that live in the bushes outside.. but haven't had any in the house in 30 years~~~~~```
