This book contains everything you need to know to make pests unwelcome in your home – from ants, cockroaches, silverfish, slugs and snails, cane toads, rats, rabbits and foxes through to common household dust mites, bacteria, mildew and mould. Robin Stewart's Chemical-Free Pest Control introduces simple, effective and chemical-free alternatives – citronella oil, borax, soap, pyrethrum, vinegar, eucalyptus oil, bicarb soda, cloves and many more. Its household, pet care and garden procedures are extremely easy to follow, economical and environment-friendly. By treating pests yourself, rather than resorting to expensive professionals, you can decide what method or product is used and how much. Tips for a pesticide-free modern home include: • Moths cannot tolerate cloves, so scatter them in your wardrobe. • Cockroaches are repelled by Epsom salts; or killed by sprinkling borax powder in crevices, corners and dark places. • Head lice are readily eliminated using hair conditioner or mineral oil rather than toxic chemicals. • Ants are deterred with eucalyptus oil and killed with a bait made up of equal parts borax and jam. • Possums will stay away from your favourite plants if you sprinkle blood and bone around or spray with quassia.

Download or read book Chemicals without Harm written by Ken Geiser and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A proposal for a new chemicals strategy: that we work to develop safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals rather than focusing exclusively on controlling them. Today, there are thousands of synthetic chemicals used to make our clothing, cosmetics, household products, electronic devices, even our children's toys. Many of these chemicals help us live longer and more comfortable lives, but some of these highly useful chemicals are also persistent, toxic, and dangerous to our health and the environment. For fifty years, the conventional approach to hazardous chemicals has focused on regulation, barriers, and protection. In Chemicals without Harm, Ken Geiser proposes a different strategy, based on developing and adopting safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals rather than focusing exclusively on controlling them. Geiser reviews past government policies focused on controlling chemicals, describes government initiatives outside the United States that have begun to implement a more sustainable chemical policy, and offers an overview of the chemicals industry and market. He develops a safer chemicals policy framework that includes processes for characterizing, classifying, and prioritizing chemicals; generating and using new chemical information; and promoting transitions to safer chemicals. The shift in strategy described by Geiser will require broad changes in science, the chemicals economy, and government policy. Geiser shows that it is already beginning, identifying an emerging movement of scientists, corporate managers, environmental activists, and government leaders who are fashioning a new, twenty-first-century approach to chemicals.

Book excerpt: Our children are overfed and undernourished. Even if they are not living on pizza and ice cream, they may be eating foods that can have serious long-term effects on their health. An ever-growing body of research is revealing that the major diseases Americans suffer and die from are lifestyle related and to an extent preventable in that some of the root causes begin in childhood.
