Franciscan Care of Creation

 

Ant-idotes
Earth friendly remedies for ants include: lemon juice, cinnamon, baking soda, mint, coffee grounds, vinegar, baby powder, and chalk. The suggestion is to use these substances in the ant line of travel. They are not supposed to cross these substances. To avoid attracting ants, keep all food tightly wrapped and carefully clean up crumbs and spills.

 

Stop squeaking
If you've got a squeaky door, try applying a little olive oil to the hinge. You'll find it makes life quieter without the need for petrochemical lubricants.
