We fired Terminix last month. Not because Terminix was ineffective (they were), but because we are trying to trim expenses in preparation for the collapse of the economy :-) . So that means I am in charge of pest control. Specifically, I am at war with the ants.
This war has a few rules that I will obey:
- I will not use chemical pesticides that contain neurotoxins.
- All tools of war will be limited to things I can buy at the organic landscape supply store or that I can personally consume with no ill effect.
- I will only use “smart bombs” to specifically target the bad bugs (i.e. ants, roaches, aphids, fleas and ticks).
The tools I will employ include, but are not limited to:
- soap
- vinegar
- orange oil
- boric acid
- spinosad (a byproduct of rum-making)
- diatamaceous earth
Let the battle begin!
