Only good cooks know. Yesterday, the lawn mower sprayed a mountain of fire
ants onto our front steps and sidewalk. I gave them a rain of white
vinegar. They are gone. Moved out. Disappeared.
Some highly motivated squirrel kept digging up the magnolia fuscata I
had gently and lovingly planted by our side door. I dump out coffee grounds
around the magnolia. The squirrel must be confused by the scent of coffee.
He's gone to better diggings.
I spray a coffee filter with window cleaner to wipe the mirrors and
stupid shiny black base to my keyboard. No lint, no streaks.
Spiders are truly offended by the scent of peppermint. Our home stood
empty for 2 years and the spiders absolutely defiantly took over. Anywhere
I see them attempting to build a condominium, I put a cotton ball soaked
with oil of peppermint. They are disgusted and never come back.
I hope my solutions will be helpful to you. A friend of mine used to
put her banana peelings around her rose bushes and had glorious roses. Any
other discoveries that you have tried and really work? Polly
