CHAPTER 11 - The Best Control 2

acetaminophen baits to kill snakes, but use caution as it will also kill cats. You can use sound waves oracoustic energy to kill mosquito larvae in the water. We are spraying fruit with nine packages of grapeKool-Aid per gallon of water to stop birds from eating the fruit. A clay called Kaolin can be sprayed onplants to repel insects. Ozone can be used to kill/repel insect pests. Algae bacteria and enzyme solutionscan be created on location to clean, disinfect, improve soil and control pest problems. Colloidalsolutions will be researched in depth. Colloidal silver, copper, etc. should work systemically in plantsand/or to control various wood destroying insects and organisms. Colloidal silver may stop and/orprevent “black goo”. Ions in water, oil, air, etc. should be effective pestisafes. “Medical grade” ozonemay also be useful in pest control and may be in the air, water, oils, etc. Biological controls will, obviously,be important pestisafes. Probiotic microbes and enzyme/surfactant combinations will continueto be refined, combined and/or improved. We are working on a cleaner/degreaser that will safely controlvegetation. We are also working with cedar oil as an insect barrier. We are working with various ultrasonic“critter” repellers. We have also been testing and/or using other common tinctures or oils that areGRAS materials, e.g., thyme oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil, peppermint oil, orange oil, lavender oil, citrusoil, lemongrass oil, eucalyptus oil, anise oil, pennyroyal oil, etc. Many are insecticidal, especially witha surfactant they can also repel pests, can be effective as fungicides, miticides, nematocides; some aregreat synergists; others act as anti-feedants. Canola oil comes from the rape seed which is part of themustard family. Rape is the most toxic of all food-oil plants. Like soy, rape is a weed that most insectswill not eat. The oil from rape seed is a hundred times more toxic than soy oil. Rape oil was the source ofthe chemical warfare agent called mustard gas. Canola oil contains large amounts of “isothiocyanates” -cyanide-containing compounds. Rotenone comes from soy beans. Canola oil is also high in glycosidesthat block enzyme function. The presence of glycosides in rattlesnake venom inhibits muscle enzymesand causes instant immobilization of the prey. Several essential oils block octopamine binding in aninsect’s nerves, thus creating death; humans and pets do not have octopamine receptors. We have alsofound that aspartame and MSG can be used to kill insects because they are “excitotoxins” that destroyneurons by over excitation when they are present in too high of a concentration in living organisms, soa “safe” dose in your food or drink will easily kill most insects. There is a natural pesticide in chickenegg whites, a food protein called avidin, which causes a biotin deficiency in insects. Acoustic stressmay disrupt insects, e.g., beetles, and make it harder for them to eat through trees by disrupting theirfeedin and mating habits and may even cause the pests to kill each other per the ESA. As long as theAuthor lives, he will continue to learn, field test and report on safe and far more effective alternatives.The following was reported in The Bell Report, Vol. 21, No. 3, July/August 2002: At the Severtsov Institute ofEcology and Evolution in Moscow, a team of scientists determined a batch of rats exposed to the smell of a catresulted in a 40% drop in the birth rate, as compared to a control group. Litters also showed a higher male-tofemaleratio than usual, reducing the amount of females able to reproduce as they reached maturity. Accordingto Rossiiskaya Gazeta newspaper, female rats exposed to the cat scent experienced hormonal changes thatlessened their ability to bear normally-sized litters. The Russian scientists said this reflected an ecological tendencyfor prey species to breed less when large numbers of predators are present in order to starve the predatorsand lessen the risk of casualities among new litters. The Author is researcing into the use of alternatives todangerous antibiotics and “medicines” to actually heal you and yours, if G-d permits. See Chapters 40 and 41.We must learn to listen and evaluate all possible alternatives...always looking for a safer, more effectiveway to control pest problems. Remember, virtually any substance can be misused or incorrectlyprepared; that plants are not always consistent in producing toxins and not every person or insect oranimal reacts in the same way to the same material, so always be very careful!“You must continually build on what you learn;each day I am amazed at what little I knew yesterday.” — S.L.T.481
