Chemical warfare


I just found out you can put down some powder that kills those evil spiders. I have always been hesitant about pesticides- as they are poisonous chemicals and we have sensitive birds, but this is organic! And organic means it is from our mother earth. Well so is coca and hemp but waste not want not..
The blessed material is called Diatomaceous Earth. You can find it at hardware or nursery/garden stores. It's like little diatom "shells" of chalk. It's harmless to vertebrates, but when the spiders inhale the stuff it destroys their innards! A blow has been struck- thank you my organic friends.
Also thank you to Andrea Palochak out in my old stomping ground of Wyoming for cluing me in!
Viva La Revolucion!
