Sounds like a plan. I had to look up "neem". We were planning a trip to PEI next month but had to cancel to care for our grandchildren. Now I think I'm really glad we are not going.Add neem to you laundry soap. Voila. No more bedbugs.
Borax would be easier to find and do as good. Likely cheaper too.Add neem to you laundry soap. Voila. No more bedbugs.
Oh goody ! Another "pandemic" we haven't had one of those for weeks,I was wondering what to be scared of next,all that unreported crime wasn't really doing it for me,but budbugs,they carry all manner of desease on their great pointed teeth. The horror!!
Two of my grandkids are at day camp this week. They made some stuff called "Goop". I don't know the measurements but it's made from borax, white glue and water. It's a little bit like silly putty. Maybe like a combo of silly putty and play dough. It stays soft and the kids could actually put a straw into it and blow it up like a balloon. They were having a real ball with it.Somebody should repackage that stuff, highlight the fact oxyen is a key element and then charge 10X as much.
Non-use since the 70's has killed millions of children.I wonder how long before we're using DDT again?

But if you miss a couple - back they comeThose pests have been on the rise for a couple years and even high-class hotels are not immune.
Borax is very cheap, as Bear pointed out. Around here, it is about 9¢ to 11¢ an ounce. Available at Safeway, Save-on, Walmart, Zellers, Canuck Tire, etc.
It also works on fleas.![]()
