Little Known Facts That Might Interest You

I got tired of maintaining the liquid traps and bought some of the little plug-in sticky traps with the night light. These things work GREAT. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T3T1FYN?th=1

But the traps are free. Can't beat that price.

Wasn't salt used as sort of money at one time?

Yes the Romans paid their soldiers in salt.

But the traps are free. Can't beat that price.

As far as I know, whiskey and pickles are not free. Plus I don't like little bowls of liquid sitting around because I bump them and spill stuff.

 

[Shirley Martin]

Well, I only put a tiny bit of whiskey. The smell attracts them into the bottle then they can't get out. The pickle juice is free. From now on. I'll just use pickle juice and save the tiny bit of whiskey.

We have something similiar to that also, and they do work great!

I bought some potting soil to repot my house plants. I guess it had gnats in the soil because all of a sudden gnats appeared right after I repotted my plants. They were bugging the crap out of us! They seemed to be attracted to our computers and kindles because they were constantly on the screens. So we read up on it and it seems those plug in traps have a blue light that flying insects are attracted too. We trapped them all on the sticky!

You can make a safe and inexpensive ant killer. Buy some yeast. Mix it with something like jelly, jam, or syrup. Put a little bit of it on a small container and place it where you see ants. The ants eat it, the yeast swells up inside them and kills them.

They make little sticky traps with picks on them; you just stick 'em in the soil of the pot and it will trap those annoying things.

Just put a little boron or Borax in it for ants.

Terro ant killer works great. It won't kill immediately. It is taken back to the nest and as ants die their bodies are consumed by other ants.

"The fact that atoms are 99.9999999% empty space. If you removed all the 'empty space' from the atoms that make up every single human being on Earth, the entire human race—all 8 billion of us—would fit inside the volume of a single sugar cube.

The Canadian/US border divides the town in Vermont. Now more complicated.

On border road, a barrier to entry marks a changing way of life - VTDigger

A new barrier where the U.S.-Canada boundary cuts through two villages has some Vermonters feeling like ‘prisoners’ on their own street.

Blaine, WA. USA and Douglas, BC, Canada are across the street from one another. If kids are playing Frisbee in Peace Arches Park, WA., and they sail it over on the Canadian side, they won't go after it.
