Cool thread @Tinytuttle! I was just wondering if anyone else used dish soap when I found this. I have used Dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle for mites on my lemon tree before.
I just spent the evening vacuuming up an army of ants that Decided to move thru my living room. I found where they entered and exited the house and splashed it down with a 5 gallon bucket of soapy water and they died instantly!
Seems like an Uber safe insecticide. I’ll try adding the alcohol next time like you mentioned next time I have an issue.
Gotta bookmark this one. Looks like a lot of gem’s in here!
Ya I found Jerry’s book very interesting thought I’d share! … early this year we had those tiny sugar ants get in the kitchen area and made up a boric acid sugar concoction found on YouTube that gets rid of them also !
Forgot to mention boric acid can be found in the laundry/soap section of most stores goes by the name borax ( 20 mule team) used for softening hard water in laundry applications!
LOL as a parent I have come to hate the shit. Here is my simplest recipe…
Mix 1 part white glue with 1 part water
Mix 1 tablespoon Borax in a cup of water
Add food coloring to glue and water mixture if desired
Slowly add the Borax and water solution to the glue and water solution until desired consistency.
Something similar but for catching fly. Amanita Muscaria aka Fly Agaric in milk attracts to a deadly swimming pool. I bet they get so f in high before they die hehe
