depending on what your problem is and how bad there are other ways
of pest control. If it is fleas, you can combine 1cup
of Borax, 1 cup
of baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. sprinkle on carpets, in sofas, on mattresses. Use a broom to push it into the carpet. do this every three days for two weeks, then once a week. If you problem is ants or roaches. you can do the above plus put little piles, or lids filled, with Borax, in your cabinets, and on the corners of you rooms.
