Au revoir Ants

Create small piles of cornmeal around the house wherever  you see ants. They eat the cornmeal, take it “home”, share with the colony but can’t digest it. It may take a week or so (especially if it rains) but this non-hazardous, pet and children safe remedy works like a charm!

Wa ki liao Weeds

Hasta la vista garden pests

You’ll need neem tree leaves for this remedy. Once sourced, boil, cool then spray the area around your vegetable garden. Unfortunately, the aroma of this natural insect repellant is not so pleasant but the trade off is YOU get to eat what you grow.

Ciao cockroaches

Definitely very high on our ‘get of rid bug’ list, these little creatures can be eradicated by mixing together a one to one ratio of baking soda & granulated sugar. Place this lethal concoction in small containers around the house with another small container of just water next to it. Try it![/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last]Ciao cockroaches[/twocol_one_last]
