herbal ant repellant -a bit on Cinnamon

[Guest guest]

Someone at the EthnoBotany list asked if it

was true that cinnamon could be used as fungicide.

 

The discussion ended up talking about insects.

 

The speaker here is the amazing Ingrid Naiman,

herbalist, teacher, astrologer.

 

She has a whole bunch of websites, all linked,

Being non-violent, I try to deal

with insects as nicely as possible. I

have found that cayenne, cloves, and

cinnamon are all deterrents.

 

For instance, when carpenter ants were

coming up my heat registers, I asked my

housekeeper to spray around the top with

a simple clove water mixture. She

went home and told her husband.

He had a good laugh until the next time

she came and there were no insects.

He was dumbfounded. Snip
