I'm trying to figure out how to get spousal inspection into a jar. That could be a real salable item:>>

My solution for ticks: 2 parts Cedar Chips<br> 1 part water<br>Soak chips in a covered dark container out in the sun for at least 24 hours. Strain the water into a spray bottle. Shpritz!!<br>It will dye your clothes and your dog red, but it smells good to humans and bugs--ticks, fleas, moskitoes, no-see-ums, even yellow flies don't like it. <br><br>I do not have a ranch, hence I do not kill squirrels except for food. (I understand that others may have a different circumstance than I do,) In the yard my solution for squirrels is sunfolower seeds. Squirrles love 'em. But they have to crack open each shell one at a time to eat them. It keeps the squirrels so busy that they just don't have time to get into anything else.

Speaking of Ticks, you cant do anything without ticks all around in FL. One thing that works, especially for the tiny ones crawling on you, is to have a tube of glue handy. Just put a little on a straw and touch the tick with it. When I was horse camping in Wekiva State Park, we used to take a can of tick powder and make a circle around our sleeping bag. Dont know if you can do that now, due to new environment rules.

hee,hee,hee. That is SO funny!

Try an organic powder with dessicant properties; borax or gypsum ( garden gypsite is merely milled gypsum for rapid percolation into soils)
