Dread Summer Bugs

Buggin' You?

 

You don't need to poison your home or

yard with chemicals - kill the little suckers using a natural bait trap or

natural sprays instead. By the way, those big-name " natural " ones do

contain plant-based ingredients - there are just better options out there.

 

The Benefits

Remove hundreds of flies and other

annoying bugs using all-natural ingredients that are more effective than

chemicals.

Long-lasting, easy to use, maintenance

free, and disposable.

No creepy chemicals.

 

Wanna Try?

Yes, Raid®'s Earth Options™ uses clove oil as its active ingredient.

However, it also contains petroleum byproducts - so you are better off using a

natural spray with a water base or an all-natural trap:

 

Planet Natural- they have dozens of

all-natural traps and spray options. Their Big Stinky Trap uses bug pheromones

to entice flies into the trap.

Sharpshooter - indoor/outdoor all-natural

bug spray.

Rid-Max

- all-natural trap for all kinds of flies.

Monster

FlyTrap - a bait and trap system that traps hundreds of flies

at a time.

 

More Bang For Your Bite!

Commercial fly traps cost approx. $15

(for a trap that lasts six weeks)- far more economical than most chemical

sprays that last only days.

 

Fact

There are more insects in one square mile

of rural land than human beings on the whole planet.

 

Do-It-Yourself Trick for

Fruit Flies

If fruit flies are driving you crazy, you

can easily make your own bug trap for your kitchen.

Last summer, they were driving me nuts,

and I didn't want to spray a bunch of poison in the kitchen to get rid of fruit

flies that were attracted to all my organic CSA produce. So, after a whole lot

of fruitless (couldn't help it) searching online, I finally found a good,

all-natural solution.

Take a small jar or juice glass. Pour a

little apple cider vinegar in the bottom of it. Take a small square of paper

and make it into a cone shaped funnel, leaving a small hole at the tip (like a

little dunce cap with a quarter centimeter hole at the top). Invert the cone

into the jar so that the hole at the tip hovers right above the vinegar. You

might need to fold the paper over the top of the glass a little to get it to

stay.

Set it on the counter or wherever your

fruit flies are.

They will be attracted to the vinegar,

will fly down the funnel and will get trapped and won't be able to figure out

how to fly back out the hole.

You'll have to clean out and replace the

jar every other day or so, but after about a week, your flies should be gone.
