Flies
Let’s not forget flies. You can make a good fly trap with some plastic water bottles, apple cider vinegar and some sugar. Cut the tops off the bottles and invert the top into the lower section forming a funnel and tape them together. Put about 2 inches of apple cider vinegar in the bottle with … Continue reading
Pest Tips

Mosquito Repellents
Mosquitoes will be out pretty soon. Here is some information on mosquito repellents. DEET. What is DEET. Someone asked me why I never recommend it when all government agencies always recommend it. DEET is short for N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (also known as N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide). In 1998, the EPA made it illegal for any product containing DEET to make … Continue reading
Weeds ?
There are a lot of “weeds” growing everywhere. I put the term weeds in quotation, because they are often poorly understood and worse, poorly regulated by some government agencies. Some agencies like to tell people that they have “weeds” in their yard and if they don’t remove them, they will be fined. This is patently … Continue reading

Plastics and Pesticides
There are two important issues I will be putting in the book. One is about all the plastics in the ocean that are killing fish, turtles, dolphins, whales and other aquatic animals. This has to be corrected. The other is the misuse of pesticides that are destroying our ecosystem, including killing beneficial insects, birds and … Continue reading
