Target herbicides are the way to kill weeds in zoysia grass. The active ingredients benefin, bensulide, oxadiazon, prodiamine, and siduron control goose-grass while DSMA and MSMA treat post-emergent crab-grass. MCPP, triclopyr + clopyralid, or 2,4-D treat broadleaf weeds.

Ants in my house *do* go after my nori. They LOVE it and swarm bags of it quickly if left open.

It sounds like a sick plant & not actually a pest, if it is you can use pesticide, if not try to search for info on plant diseases.

sometimes it can not always

Large amount of DDT can poison and even kill Birds of prey.

A way to get rid of Cockroaches can be a variety of ways, for some inexpensive home made insecticides, you can mix baking soda and powdered sugar. The baking soda is extremely lethal to cockroaches. But, don't just put down baking soda cause cockroaches can sense it, and know to stay away from it. Since cockroaches love powdered sugar, the smell can over take the senses that can prevent the cockroach from killing them. But put together you get a very good remedy of insecticide. The baking soda and powdered sugar is only lethal to cockroaches so it won't kill your pets, (unless they are bugs or insects). Another is to just spray Kaboom on the live cockroach and it will die within a minute. Or you can just spray around cracks and crevices. But, be careful cause it is very poisonous to dogs and cats. So spray out of reach of children and pets.

BUT DON'T SPRAY ON WOOD FLOORING, OR IT WILL RUIN YOUR WOOD FLOOR!!!

I've had success with Wilson's Woolly Whacker.

I wanted something that I didn't need to wash off when I wanted to eat.

It does not leave a residue. You have to soak the plants all over and top and bottom on leaves. It kills all insects it covers, but it won't kill any it doesn't wet.

That it is a target weed-killer describes why herbicide can be sprayed in a lawn and only kill the weeds. Herbicides have active and inert ingredients, with some of the former controlling specific weeds and nothing else. Active ingredients function effectively when they leave minimal or no impacts, excluding their targets, on the environment and its animal, people and plant occupants.

Dish liquid, particularly Dawn Dish Liquid is useful in killing fleas on both dogs and cats. It is particularly recommended for animals too young for flea medication and shampoos. Dish liquid, however, can be irritable to the skin and should only be used if necessary. When using any dish liquid, the animal should be rinsed several times with water to make skin irritation less noticeable.

On a dog, no. It can cause irritation and will not kill the eggs. Try dog flea shampoo or even baby shampoo

Hi ,

If you think your guinea pig has fleas you should either call a vet or go somewhere were you think you could get good advice, maybe going to a pet store and bringing your guinea pig to show them would help, they could maybe have a shampoo they could give you or tell you a way to remove them.

Integrated pest control is an approach to careful usage of pest control chemicals and techniques to discourage the development of pest populations. It also forces us to implement these techniques in such a way that there will be negligible health risks. Many reputed pest control companies following this approach.

A model of a cat may intimidate birds. A real cat would be even better.

The mud daubers have burrowed into the side of a small hill, next to a fairly busy sidewalk in a nice neighborhood, where kids play and where the grass needs mowing right where they are. I've tried a wasp and hornet spray from the local supermarket. However, this morning they were still flying around, although a bit fewer. They are actually in the dirt on this hill. I spray into the hole as best I can,

but, it does not appear to be helping really. Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you so very much!

Use a mild soap water solution to wash them off of the leaves of your plants. Be sure to reach both the tops and the bottoms of the leaves. Also, there is a systemic fertilizer that includes insect control that you can periodically feed your plants.

Introduced marine pests are a significant problem because they can disrupt local ecosystems, outcompete native species for resources, and alter food webs, leading to declines in biodiversity. They often lack natural predators in their new environments, allowing them to proliferate unchecked. Additionally, these pests can negatively impact fisheries, aquaculture, and tourism, resulting in economic losses for coastal communities. Effective management and prevention strategies are crucial to mitigate their impacts and protect marine environments.

Life would certainly be very different. Without DDT in previous wars, we would have possibly seen very different outcomes. Far fewer humans would be alive today because malaria and other very nasty plagues would be rampant.

Food would be far less attractive. Your apples would have worms, your tomatoes would be very small and all food would be far more expensive.

The invention of pesticides was one of the turning points for all mankind. Without these chemicals, man would be far less abundant and far less healthy.

Thse are pill bugs. Either reduce moisture considerably or you can use some kind of granular pesticide that will disolve slowly over time as you water. May take a couple applications since they hide uder rocks, etc.

Rodents such as mice and rats are considered pests since they are commonly dealt with by pest control. It is estimated that two-thirds of the world's (harvested) rice production is destroyed or eaten by mice and rats each year.

because there is a mutch smaller space over there and they dont have mutch sapce to repopulate

if you ask me i think rabbits are a waste of space and we should wipe them out!!!!!!!

The best way to kill carpet beetles or anything living in your carpet is with hot steam! It's safe and won't harm pets or children and kills everything instantly. I had carpet beetles and didn't want to use harmful pesticides. The steam mop reaches 240 degrees and will kill everything. Since I did this, I have not seen any carpet beetles.

You must move the furniture to get under the legs, wash curtains and throw rugs and put them in the dryer. Heat will kill them all. Clean out your closets and drawers on occasion and wash everything. Just being clean and regular vacuuming will ensure keeping the bugs in your carpet at bay.

They also sell sticky traps specifically for these types of bugs too. You can place them under the furniture where pets and children can't get at them.

Hot steam is the way to go. I would never use pesticide with children and pets around.

Moth balls are an effective way of killing various insect species. They are particularly effective against garden pests such as grubs.

Ferrets do tend to scratch and itch a lot. Bathing and/or using a product not made for ferrets will dry out their skin, making them itch, also check for fleas. Bathing a ferret is not necessary unless they get into something and needs a bath. Ferrets can also have allergies that will make them itchy. If you are feeding dry ferret food, give them a tiny bit of olive oil every few days for their coat, it has a lot of good nutrients. Most ferrets like olive oil, you can use it as a treat for them. Also your ferret's ears may need cleaning which also causes them to scratch themselves

I have found that "Mock Orange" works very well for deterring spiders, it is kind of like a lilac bush and the flower grow into a ball shape. You can get this ball shaped cluster of tiny flowers and put it in an old stocking or just throw it under furniture or hang in the stocking, the older the flowers become the more the spiders hate it and it has a pretty pleasant smell, unlike mothballs. Mothballs can be very toxic! If it is just you and no pets or children it could be fine, but why not use nice smelling flowers. You could also use natural oils, not sure of the combination, but something to do with lavender and/or peppermint oils
