Healthy Alternatives to Pesticides
Here are some great ways to kill unwanted pests without hazardous chemicals:

Ants:
Find their entry point and seal with caulking. Pour tartar, red chili powder, cinnamon,paprika or dried peppermint at point of entry. Kill ants with soapy water or vacuum.
Prevent fleas on your pets: 
Add small amounts of brewers yeast or vitamin B in your pet's food. Use an herbal collar or bathe with eucalyptus or rosemary. Wash pet bedding and treat w/ citrus oil product. Sprinkle carpet with borax and vaccum twice a week.
Snails / Slugs:
Fill a shallow pan with beer and place in infested area. Remove any tall grass and debris from infested area.
Roaches:
Remove all sources of exposed food, old newspapers or any clutter. Place bay leaves in cracks that may be an entry area. Carefully apply boric acid powder into cracks where roaches hide but keep away from pets and children.
