How To Get Rid of Bugs Without Pesticides
How do you get rid of bugs without harming your family?
Bugs… just the thought of it creeps my wife out.
Every summer these little critters would awake from their slumber and “attack” my house. I’m sure you experience this too. How do you get rid of them?
Pesticides?
Well, I used to use a lot of pesticides before I know of its effect on the human body. Pesticides are one of the most toxic household items ever invented by man kind.
Instead of going into the details of how pesticides causes all kinds of disease, I thought I would just point you to a wonderful post by Dr. Mercola on the subject. Yes it’s quite long but I promise it’ll open your mind.
Ever since my discovery of its side effect, I have never again used a single bottle of pesticides. So what do I with the bugs?
That’s easy. I make my own natural pesticide and it’s called “white oil“. It’s harmless for humans yet effective for bugs.
Basically, it’s a soap-water solution. If you would like something more powerful, then you may want to add a few drops of tea tree and lemon essential oil. Try it out and leave a comment as to its effectiveness. I’m always listening!
If you would like to discover more about natural pesticides, the best resource I would recommend is no doubt Beyond Pesticides.
