Fly Paper

2 cups milk

2 tablespoons black pepper

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Brown paper bags, cut into strips

Boil milk, pepper, and sugar together for 5 minutes. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes longer, until thickened, and then let cool. Wind the brown paper strips into a tight roll and drop them into the milk mixture. Let them become completely saturated. Rewind the strips gently and let them air dry on a cookie sheet. They are ready to hang when they are sticky to the touch.

To use, suspend the strips up and out of the way wherever flies are a problem. CAUTION: Keep the strips away from young children, especially after they are covered with flies.

Mosquito Deterrent

Submitted to Recipe Goldmine by Barbara Louise - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Source: a gardening forum

Put some water in a white dinner plate and add just a couple of drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dishwashing soap. Set the dish on a porch or patio. No sure what attracts them, the lemon smell, the white color, or what, but mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead, or fall into the water, or on the floor within about 10 feet. Works just super!

Roach Balls

1 cup borax

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon water

Make a paste of the ingredients and roll the paste into little balls.

Place 2 or 3 balls into a sandwich-size plastic bag and leave the top open. Place the bag anywhere you have a roach problem. The roaches will eat the balls and carry them away. The bugs die at home, out of sight. The borax clogs their breathing passages. The onion scent draws them in.

Makes about 50 balls; about 10 applications.

CAUTION: Hide these bags carefully so that children and pets can't get at them.
