Summer is in full swing and the outside critters are very busy!  Lately, many people are talking about ants and mice. Eeek! 

There’s a recipe that will help with both: 1 Cup Diatomaceous Earth, 1/2 Cup Neem Powder, 1/2 Cup Yarrow Root Powder, and 20 drops Eucalyptus oil. Spread this mixture across door thresholds, the garage door opening, and around patios and porches. 

It really helps keep those critters at bay and it won’t hurt your pets (if you have chickens, don’t use dust while they are around to breathe it in). This recipe also helps with fleas, roaches, etc.  If people are camping out, it’s a must have. – Sandy Teska from Essentially Sandy.
