Brilliant! I have lemongrass and lavender planted all around my house. Problem is, I’m allergic to bees who LOVE lavender. I used your wasp ideas and they worked brilliantly. I used apple juice, boric acid and a drop of dish soap in multiple containers hung around the house. I painted the plastic. 😅 Thank you for saving me money on epi-pens! You’re phenomenal.
Mason jar - put in some gravel in the bottom of it, about the same as the water level in the bucket then add in your Crisco. Forever wick is carbon felt. You can buy that in many stores and online. You can use carbon felt in lamps and hurricane lanterns. It does not work well with olive oil though.
@@crazysquirrel9425 good to know. I use coconut oil mostly. I don't think my wife would want Crisco in her mouth. It does remind me of the song Crisco Kisses by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
Can plant mint all around yard too. It’s a perennial, which comes back year after year. Grows into a large,beautiful plant, that has shoots that grow out, root, and keep going and growing. I live in NE OK, and mine have been coming back for the 3 yrs we’ve been here. (came from GA/FLborder.)
What are you using for wicks? I bought a few wicks on Amazon to make some of those candles, but the wicks fall down and go out when the liquid gets warm.
Hmmm, I wonder if the candle bucket would work for Wolf Spiders? Every fall (October) my very rural house gets overrun with Wolfs. They come out of the ground all around and head straight for the house - I assume because it’s warmer and they must be able to see or somehow sense that. Wonder if that candle bucket might act as an even warmer decoy? To provide some perspective on the sheer numbers, I use a coal shovel to remove them from the attached garage and basement, and no amount of sealing or weatherstripping can block some from getting into the main living space - I believe they can squeeze through the eye of a sewing needle.
I'm wondering with the bucket and candle setup, are you capturing and killing other flying insects? We have lots of flowering plants and don't want to harm beneficial insects.
Hey I enjoy your content, quick question for ya is there any alternative or additional option /options for eliminating bed bugs infestations besides diatomaceous earth?I am so very tired of my family And I getting absolutely eaten alive night after night.you hav do much knowledge that I had to ask and any exterminator specialist in bedbugs is way out of my price range.pleas let me know at your earliest convenience what I should be doing doin differently or in addition to the d-earth.thank u sir
Hi Mitchell, I had a major problem with bed bugs when I moved into a 3 story townhouse. It was totally infested with bed bugs. What I used was 91% alcohol in a round up spray bottle on the fan setting. Get a new bottle for this. I bought cases of the alcohol and poured it into the bottle and sprayed everything and I do mean everything. When it hits the bed bug they will stand straight up and will be dead. This will be very strong in your home so do wear protection and leave for a while. You will have to keep at it for a while but it does work. I also used many boxes of borax and slung it out everywhere and left home for several days and then came back and vacuumed then sprayed again and that was when I finally had relief after battling this issue for over a year and a half. I didn't know anything about bed bugs. But now I do and this does work and I'm living proof of it. Good luck and I wish you the best. They are truly little nightmares. Please be careful with the 91% alcohol. I used the borax at the end because of the pandemic and alcohol became extremely expensive. It does work if you stay with it and I promise you, it will get better. Good luck and take care.
There's one other thing that I've also done. That is using 100% peppermint essential oil. And I put it on the corners of the mattress and sometimes right down the seam. If it is 100 % pure peppermint oil, the bed bugs don't like it. I put that on our mattresses still today because I am terrified of ever getting hit with bed bugs again. So far so good.
@@jacquelineconway8412I definitely can vouch that this message absolutely works to get rid of bed bugs. even after an exterminator, the bed bugs were still alive and I used the alcohol on literally everything, on every wall, on every baseboard. even in the hallways, even in the bathroom... even up high
Thats because there are no food products in Crisco, its oil, pure oil, like you put in your car, and some dangerous chemicals, cant believe people still use this stuff. I see online where women still cook with this, and wonder why they are over weight pluse many other heath issues, your body stores it..its not suppose to be in the human body..My grandma and her mom never used this, they knew it was not lard..they used as we do, lard real lard.
Googled Crisco: Crisco ingredients include: Soybean oil, Fully hydrogenated palm oil, Palm oil, Mono and diglycerides, and TBHQ and citric acid (antioxidants). Didn't see anything about motor oil.
@@henrybialik8333 don’t know about the motor oil but I have seen a few videos of how those oils are made and there cannot be anything healthy about crisco and It wasn’t one of those biased documentaries either. It was pretty disgusting and I have been using real butter and tallow ever since. Never watch videos of how your food is made, you’ll end up starving to death.
Crisco was originally invented for lubrication for tanks in Germany, Lena's stupid billionaire looked at it as a baking ingredient to make more billions Lenny lobby McDonald's to quit using lard and use Crisco instead so he can make another billion dollars
Do you have problems with pollinators going into bucket and drowning? I have Aeon Tubes which are a similar mosquito attractant idea. What I have noticed is the holes attract bald faced hornets which end up drowning inside. I was thinking perhaps using some kind of screen on the inside of the bucket where the holes are that will allow mosquitos to pass through, but keep out other beneficial pollinators.
Sadly, indiscriminant killing of all insects is seriously affecting our bird and bat populations. Out of the hundreds of different kinds of mosquitos, only a 7 actually carry diseases in The US. Targeting harmful mosquitos for health reasons is understandable. Let’s use repellant to enable the other forms of life around us to survive. After all, their survival strengthens the web of life that supports us all.
You need to slow down and Clearly explain this. Not a metal bucket, could catch on fire?? Really? What's a "dunk"? What do use for a WICK in the Crisco???
use the video audio speed control yourself. creator of this channel also activated closed captioning if you need it. just turn it on if you can't follow him
Originally Crisco was made from cottonseed oil, but the modern version is a blend of soybean and palm oil. It's not exactly toxic but it probably shouldn't be treated as a natural food either
