A nontoxic lifestyle requires knowledge of how to control insects and other pests in and around the home without the use of chemical pesticides.
Since I live in hot, humid Florida, this task has proved incredibly challenging! Roaches, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, flies, fleas and other insects are a problem on a year-round basis.
Hence, I’ve learned over the years a number of ways to handle the situation. I’ve never called a pest control company in over 20 years even with indoor/outdoor pets. We also have an older home that can complicate the situation even further!

They provide numerous tips, product suggestions and homemade formulas for managing the situation in a healthy and environmentally friendly manner.
