Can polmolive dish soap kill fleas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't think so. I would try flea powder or anti-flea soaps. If you would like to have your cat/s cleaned everyday,

1. Buy animal shampoo.- Cheap ones could work.

2. Get some lukewarm water in a basin.- Not too much, just enough for your pet.

3. Get a absorbent cloth.- Dip it in the mixture and then, rub your pet. Use as much as it takes to rub it.

4. Get a DRY cloth. - Rub it all over until your pet is dry.

How pesticides resistance evolve?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pesticide resistance evolves through natural selection. When a pesticide is applied, some individuals within the target pest population may have genetic variations that make them less susceptible to the pesticide's effects. These individuals survive, reproduce, and pass on their resistant traits to their offspring, leading to an increase in resistance over time. Continuous use of the same pesticide can further select for resistance, making it more difficult to control the pest population.

Which are better ratters dogs or cats?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cats, basically, are better at catching mice, rats, etc., than dogs because they are faster, more agile and can get into places many dogs would not fit. Plus, just as rodents have the ability to climb a variety of objects, cats are able also to climb whereas dogs are not usually climbers. Some dogs are definitely very good at catching rodents, but on the whole, cats do usually out shine their canine buddies.

How do you treat aphids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

[1] Beneficial insects such as ladybugs are natural enemies of aphids. So they'll kill them for you. [2] Otherwise, the most life-friendly human interventions are by horticultural and neem oils, and insecticidal soaps and soapy water sprays. If aphids are ravaging edibles, the oils must be applied the day before eating. The soaps can be harvested the same day.

How do you kill kudzu?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Controlled burns, herbicide applications, and severe pruning is a way to kill all kudzu and thick brush in an area. The combined treatment schedule generally may be counted on to remove most problem vegetation within one year and the most resistant within two or three years. Any two of the above-mentioned three components will work whereas all three together (or just aggressive, clear-cutting, determined, mass-level bulldozing on its own) will yield the most dramatic results in the shortest amount of time.

What type of product will kill the grasshoppers in your yard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Grasshoppers are noisy insects that like to infest vegetable gardens. While grasshoppers look innocent, they can harm plants by eating and destroying leaves. A large grasshopper population can destroy beautiful flowers and eat the vegetables in gardens. Organic and safe homemade sprays can be made from household items. Preferably use these sprays around dusk, as using them during hot times of day can burn plant leaves. this is a way to kill them

Garlic oil· Grasshoppers hate the smell and taste of garlic, so a garlic-oil mix works well as a homemade control spray. Chop finely six fresh garlic cloves and mix them with one tablespoon of mineral oil to make a homemade control spray.

The mixture will need to steep for 24 hours in a glass jar for maximum potency. Use a strainer or a piece of cheesecloth to strain the liquid, discarding the pieces of garlic afterward.

Dilute two tablespoons of garlic-infused oil with one pint of water and one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. Spray your plants thoroughly with your homemade mixture, covering both top and bottom of plant leaves.
