[Steppes] The Great East Steppes Osage Orange Massacre and Carnivore Feast.

You have the gist of it.  It is an old folk remedy that my mom used to use.
And it does not take a lot of them to work.  Put 'em under the sink and other
places roache and other creepy crawlies like and it should work. I believe you
can also find it in some of the Rodale natural insect repellant info as well.

Supposedly it has to do with the extremely high levels of tannic acid in the
fruit that keeps the insects at bay.  Leastwise that's what I learned this
weekend.  And for those who asked for them we collected a TON of those
apples, two full large garbage bags worth, not to mention the fairly full
bag Greylond took with him as well.
