[Sca-cooks] Off topic but important

[V O]

I have heard that useing pepermint extract or oil will help to disuade ants from comming into the house.  You put a line of it along your baseboards, across threshholds, and anywhere you think they might be getting in.  It does not kill them, I believe, but it does stop them from comming in.  

I have not ever used it, but have thought that this might work and be safe for my animals.

If you put all your spices etc in the freezer for a few days, it will
kill the bugs. After that, make sure they're sealed tightly.

Boric acid does a good job on ants, and is reasonably non-toxic. It
can also put fires out, and is quite useful as a welding flux on my
forge ;-)
