pnkrcklives Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 The powder I have as backup is from the feed store, for chicken coops. Maybe I will finally use it. Since they finally passed the ordinace for me to keep two chickens in beaverton, and my coop is almost done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Boric Acid works well for ants and roaches and is organic. Doesn't work so well for fleas though. For ants we mix up peanut butter and honey with boric acid mixed in and put it in the corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 The chicken coop powder is amazing. Have never found anything that works as fast. Plus it protects the birds from fleas, mites and ticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borax and powdered sugar here for ants although there is a product called Terro that's the same exact thing in a liquid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 theres a product called Seven that works very well. its made for the yard but i've sprinkled it in my carpet to kill fleas. let it sit all day and vac it up. Then put the rest in your yard to keep them at bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 We also put a line of baby powder outside our doors to help keep the ants out. It suffocates them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 for fleas i have used a shallow pan with water and dish soap in it. Mix it up, but dont create bubbles. Then get a small desk lamp At night set the pan on the floor and point the lamp at the pan, the heat from the lamp will attract the fleas and they will jump to it and then fall into the water. The soap breaks the surface tension so the fleas drown. Move it around to different rooms in your house, works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
