[Groop] Ants!!!!!

[Tone]

Gary,
            Rather than blowing up a drum of gasoline or whatever it is
you are doing to get rid of insect pests, try something called
"diatomaceous earth." It is a white powder that is composed of
fossilized skeletons of marine and freshwater organisms that lived 20
million years ago. A protein in it attracts roaches and some other
insects while the power scratches up their waxy outer coating. Within a
day or two the bugs die of dehydration. Also, if you leave the stuff in
place and do not get it wet, it will continue working and working.
            Any bug walking through the stuff gets scratched up like it
is glass or something to them. It is nontoxic and useful against ants,
earwigs, fleas, sow bugs, silverfish, millipedes, roaches, and weevils.
There might still be a company in Mexico, Missouri (where Mexico is the
name of the town not the country) by the name of Brookstone, which sells
the stuff under the product name "Insectigone". This might be an old
number for Brookstone, but maybe you can try your luck at it:
800-926-7000.
 
Sometime environmentally friendly non-toxic solutions to problems are
the best solutions. :-)
