Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I finally realized after many months of feeding very smart rodents cheese from the untripped traps and not wanting to put out poison with the possibility of smelling the carcus that might get stuck between the walls that I'd have to resort to the same remedy as my farmer grandparents did to save the mule's corn needed to till the soil to survive with the food that was grown not purchased at the nearest grocery: a feline. This most effective rodent control upon employment entered the difficult to reach inner areas between the two floors and remained until the offending unwelcome rodent-guests were effectively discouraged from continued squatting on my property. I named him Phatom of the Office and now that his rodent eradication original purpose has been fullfilled, we've become unexpectedly close friends as he sits curled around my feet as I write. Now for these pesky roaches. Of course, I could have called the pest control and had a toxic substance sprayed throughout my habitat to eradicate these ugly and unhealthy insects. But I'm concerned that those substances might perhaps be a carcinogen. Hence the conflict: how to eliminate the health hazard of roaches without the greater hazard of voluntary exposure to a carcinogen. I figure if the agent has a substance that will cause an insect that can survive a nuclear holucaust to expire, the likelihood that I too might expire earlier if I inhale it than if I don't repels me from remedying roaches with the Orkin man. If anyone reading this message has any information leading to the arrest, conviction and execution of these roaches with whom I co-habitate breathing air that is less likely to cause me to expire from a carcinogenic agent than if they'd been eradicated in the more socially acceptable manner, I'd be most appreciative. - " Elaine " <121 Thursday, August 12, 2004 1:46 AM Herbal remedy for ants Herbal remedy for ants <I haven't tried these but they're inexpensive and certainly won't harm the environment> 1 cup fresh or 1/2 cup dried Spearmint fill the blender with water leave in blender over night, pulverize for 30 sec strain.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hello Dr Lance Boric Acid!! Years ago, I moved my brothers furniture into my home for a short time. Little did I know it was infested with roaches. Soon, my home had a roach problem. I was also remoldeling and had read about powdered Boric Acid. I sprinkled it in all the area's where roaches were seen and also between the walls we were rebuilding. Not a roach Since! It's been many years.. Boric acid has tiny sharp edges to it... the edges are not harmful to humans but they cause cuts in roaches.. Raoches will then dehydrate and die.. Lynda PS keep away from children and pets who will eat anything!! The Bottom Line Boric acid is inexpensive, natural, and effective at killing roaches and a vareity of other insects. Handled properly, it is also the safest method of ridding your home of roaches and other pests. Pros * nearly 100% effective at killing insects * inexpensive * about as toxic to humans as table salt Cons * can endanger small children and small pets * toxic to many plants Description * Spread boric acid powder behind and under all appliances and the sink and around openings in walls * Mix a 5-10% solution of boric acid powder with warm water to make a safe insecticide spray * Comb a bit of boric acid powder through your dog's fur to get rid of fleas and ticks * Sprinkle boric acid on your carpets and stuffed furniture to kill fleas (make sure to work it in) * Use boric acid " packets " in drawers and closets to kill some clothing-destroying insects * Use a salt shaker (but never use it for salt again) to spread the powder lightly and evenly * Do not apply boric acid in any form to plants as it can kill them Guide Review - Boric Acid Powder For the money, boric acid is a great all-round insecticide for most household uses (an exception is plant-born pests as boric acid will kill many plants). Keep the powder away from children, apply it sparingly and evenly, and watch your roach problem go away. --- DrLance wrote: I finally realized after many months of feeding very smart rodents cheese from the untripped traps and not wanting to put out poison with the possibility of smelling the carcus that might get stuck between the walls that I'd have to resort to the same remedy as my farmer grandparents did to save the mule's corn needed to till the soil to survive with the food that was grown not purchased at the nearest grocery: a feline.
