Karen’s Opinion

because My Opinion Counts


Fashion Statement

I can’t believe I am showing this picture but this is what I have been forced to wear in order to keep my sanity on this fishing trip. Hubby and I arrived in Southern Indiana yesterday for a much anticipated few days of fishing. This area is infested with biting gnats. They have been killing the deer in the area because they get into their nostrils and cause problems. What a mess.

We have caught a few fish and the weather has been awesome. I am doing some research on what brought the gnats to this area and what can be done about them. It is hurting the tourism in this area. What used to be known for great fishing and hunting has become a nightmare of bug infestation over the past three years. It is a shame.

I grew up in the days when we thought it was okay to pour motor oil on the weeds in our driveway. We needed to get rid of the oil after we changed it in our car and what better way to get rid of weeds! We found out later that we were hurting our valuable resources. That oil would find its way to our rivers and streams causing the water to be polluted. Yikes!

We now know how the things we put on the ground affect our earth but I still need to find ways to kill weeds and bugs. I hate that my roses have holes in their leaves from pesky bugs. That is why I especially am glad to have discovered EndALL insect spray. PhotobucketThis bug killer dissolves in the soil with no residual! While some organic bug sprays are expensive, EndALL is economical. That means more money to buy plants. This unique formulation of organic insecticides is easy to apply and kills bugs in all stages of life. From larvae to adult pests, this easy to use formulation works on flowers, fruits, vegetables lawn, landscape, ornamentals and houseplants.

I learn so much at the Safer®Brand website. For instance, I found this snippet about controlling garden pests:

Insects, Weeds, and Diseases–these are the unwelcome visitors to our lawns, landscapes and vegetable gardens. Traditionally these are controlled with man made chemicals that have consequences beyond controlling unwanted pests.

Nature has strategies to deal with these pests without the use of synthetic chemicals. Organic control options are ideal for the consumer who wants a beautiful lawn and garden without the risks of these man made chemicals and poisons.

We all need help in our gardens and flower beds. Safer®Brand brings you a variety of effective insecticides that are gentler on the environment! Most of them proudly display the OMRI Listed® organic seal and comply for use in organic gardening! I recommend EndALL.
