you used geometry (shape of the bottle) and chemistry (time releasing CO2) as well as biology of the bugs (knowing the bug seeks CO2) to out whit pest.
this is a great example of application of scientific method. I have seen beetle traps in apple orchards kinda similar. I really wish more of this kind of thing was used in agriculture/industry/politics/social sciences/education/General stewardship of the planet.
My uncle once showed me a trick for trapping fleas in a mayonase lid. he put about a spoon full of dawn liquid in a mayo lid and set it in a corner on the floor under a desk lamp. the fleas where drawn to the heat/light of the lamp and because the way they jump randomly up landing anywhere. when they land in the soap cant escape. the lid works under a south facing window to without a lamp. because the sun.
salt and/or diatomatios earth work as a 3day shake on carpet treatment to desiccate flea eggs, bedbugs.
also I have heard mosquito's,spiders hate oregano because it's aromatic permeation messes with their ability to hunt.
ants on the other hand hate acids like lemon juice, vinegar, boric acid. adding lemon to spray or mixing boric with ants food either sweet syrup or fat works.depending if they are sweet eaters or grease eaters.
with roaches you just gotta kick out the heathen that feeds them.
it wouldn't take much to put together a one spot for green info on how to keep the pest at bay and not poison yourself or spend big bucks on a pest control service.. just a thought!Statistics: Posted by iamdenteddisk — Fri May 01, 2015 9:00 pm
