Imidacloprid, Fipronil, Chlorfenapyr, some of the second/third generation Pyrethroids like Bifenthrin, newer forms of Cyfluthrin, Deltamethrin, and a few others.
Have to admit, I'm an entomologist, spent quite a few years in the pest management industry. What is available today beats the **** out of what was around even 10 years ago.
Actually more like singe.i just use my barbecue lighter on them when they are on my alumnium screen in my patio.( Not plastic onces) Not enought to make them smell. just kill them
Oh no a plague for electing demon spawn at least they have not hit Michigan yet our biggest pest will be out of office soon. I think the original Black Flag Was nicotine as a insecticide.
Plumb Island?
Watching that Jessie Ventura "Conspiracy Theory".
The freakiest 2012 doomsday I've seen yet. Holy Cow... :shock:
I use coffee grounds in compost and to feed worms it seems not to repel bugs to me.
Capsicum will repel bugs I dried a few Jalapeņos in the house and that was a mistake next year I grew Tabasco peppers and dried them in old farm house it kept most of the bugs out until spring! I am currently growing ghost peppers to make a spray to keep deer off my plants I will not dry them in a blower drier.
Second post first one erased? :killingpc
We use Dawn dish liquid and water in a spray bottle. They take a few steps and it's lights out. They won't hurt you, just a pain in the butt.
I have not had the things yet in Michigan However years ago I had earwigs bad in yard found out Murphy's oil soap 1/4 cup to gallon of water killed them fast. At the time I was using diaonazon (spelling wrg) and it would make them act crazy but took a day to die.
Crazy things! :bigsmyl2: I put my lead pot on and there was one in it that I tossed in. Came back some time later to cast and it was full of the stinking things.
As I was casting some were walking across the bench so I would set the ladle on them. TOUGH suckers! [smilie=l:
The reason detergents kill insects is the detergent lowers the surface tension of the water, and makes it "wetter"...basic chemistry, I know. The droplets are then small enough to enter the critter's spiracles (holes along the side of the abdoman that the insect breathes thru) and they drown.
Works, but no residual effect...they're gonna keep coming. I'm not going to sit outside and drown every insect that comes by, I'd rather be casting, loading, and shooting.
Stink bugs make good flux ?
