CHAPTER 11 - The Best Control 2

fly nymphs) intact. The content of the performed enzyme cleaners varied greatly each batch and had a 3.5 pHand no one knew the ingredients. http://www.licergone.com/Lice-R-Gone_Ocular_Sensitivity.pdfPreparation H - relieves chigger bites and puffy eyes.Preservatives - Some natural preservatives are thyme and/or tea tree essential oils, grapefruit extract and D-Alpha tocopherol acetate (vitamin E).Prevention - is the best control and your first line of defense. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”Probiotic Microbes - or bacteria in the large intestine stimulate health and prevent chronic stess-inducedabnormalities, e.g., foodborne pathogen growth; these probiotic microbes also remove odors and help healskin irritations.Propane - Propane is a gas that is heavier than air, unlike natural gas that is lighter than air - that means propaneseeks out the lowest areas. Propane does not kill vegetation like natural gas does - so if you take a propanetorch on top of a small canister of propane and gently push the tip into pest, e.g., ant, wasp, mole, runways andtunnels and turn on the gas so it comes out slowly and leave it on until you smell propane permeating out ofnearby runs - you will have flooded the tunnels with gas - do this to all tunnels and runways and you will havekilled all tunnel occupants. Don’t smoke or light any fires around this area for a week to be safe. You can alsouse propane torches to control weed and roach problems with the flame. Be extremely careful!Proper and Thorough Inspection - If you do not find the cause, location and problem, you have already lost.Proper Nutrition - Healthy plants and animals resist pest damage. Remember, too much fertilizer/nutrient canbe as harmful as too little. You can often encourage fruiting by cutting back on fertilizer “use”.Proper Plant Choice - Choose native species; place them in their natural preferred location, e.g., in shade orsun; plant them properly - at the correct depth, in the right soil, remove burlap, fertilize and water properly anduse proper landscape design to decrease maintenance, moisture loss and stress.Proper Pruning - will open up the tree to allow sunlight in and air movement and proper drying conditions andremoval of diseases and spot pest infestations.Proper Sanitation - Start your control programs with this simple procedure.Proper Selection - Select a control that harms the pest and not the beneficials or natural enemies.Proper Soil Nutrition and pH - is essential for healthy plants. Healthy plants naturally fight off diseases andpests. Adding soil inoculants, organic fertilizer, compost, aeration, earth worm castings, colloidal minerals, greenmanures, etc. all help build healthy soils.Proper Time - Seeds planted too early will rot. Plant too late and you will not harvest. You need warm soil forrapid germination and growth of young plants.Propionic Acid - are being reviewed as mold inhibitors in hay.Propylene Glycol - is being reviewed as a treatment for ketosis.Protease Enzymes - Safe Solutions Tweetmint Enzyme Cleaners contain protease and are virtually non-toxic - yetthey quickly and safely destroy insect exoskeletons - when insects molt they inject a very tiny amount of proteaseinto the “seam” of their exoskeletons - creating a “zipper” - so they can “step out”. Obviously, protease enzymeswill never create immune or resistant insects like synthetic pesticide poisons do. If you were to describe theperfect pesticide you would want an inexpensive chemical, that left no poison residual, created no contamination,was non-toxic to people and pets, was broad-spectrum and controlled virtually all insects, fungus, mold, mildew,bacteria, plant diseases, would not create resistant species and could be applied in numerous ways - you havethus described Safe Solutions Tweetmint enzyme cleaners and shampoos - which are sold as non-toxic cleaners446
