|
|
I'm looking for an invisible bug barrier to put all around our home. We live in the country, northeast of Dallas, and are surrounded by soapberry trees with their sticky berries. These attract a small, black beetle-like bug and there are literally millions of them in the vicinity, I'm sure. They like to come in and enjoy our air-conditioning, too.
What kind of invisible, probably liquid barrier could I put all around the perimeter of our home? In the past, I put diatomaceous earth all around the house and that helped. But it's unsightly -- like chalk -- so I'd like an invisible barrier.
What about orange oil? Would that work? If so, how much, what concentration, etc.
Any ideas for me out there? Thank you. |

| Are you fully organic? Usually birds, lizards, and toads take care of the insects for us. But if you use any insecticides anywhere, that hurts the helpers and they find somewhere else to feed. |
