What kind of snake?Originally Posted by cococat
Seal up cracks. Spray around the outside of the home 2x per year. Inside the home use boric acid or food grade diatomaceous earth.
Tonight I found a snake in my home. A juvie one. Better than bugs! I scooped him up and took him outside.
Our cats are lazy about them this time around. Last house had some bugs, but the cats pretty much took care of them. Whitey found one yesterday and was barely touching it.
EEEKKK!! I'd rather deal with bugs than a snake...I so would have freaked out!Originally Posted by cococat

Amen to that! They'd still survive if the house was burnt

eek, yucky!
We've still got loads of snow so no bugs yet. Just had to say that I love your signature!!
Earwigs I'm definitely not fond of - ew. Roly polys can get gross if there's a lot of them.
Does the DE harm cats? I take it not if you're leaving it around.Originally Posted by Yosemite
We still have oodles of snow but this weekend there was a whole surge of ants coming in by my sliding door. I put some diatomaceous earth around the baseboards and the area where they were coming in and within an hour the ants were gone. I've left the DE there and will leave it for a few days before vacuuming. Maybe if we're lucky the kitties will have a little nibble to clean out their systems.
it doesn't hurt them if it's the food grade DE. i have some i used for the flies last summer - really helped. [kills the maggots!]. you must be sure to get food grade, tho, not the kind used in pools.
