Sounds like it'll fit the bill. Not gonna hurt us, is gonna kill those horrible, nightmare inducing water-bugs, not gonna break the bank. I can do that.

It repels and kills ants as well as roaches. You can find it in the hardware store in the insect repellent section. And before you start the "I have kids/pets" explanation, it is as poisonous as table salt. It means, don't let them eat it in large quantities. It's also CHEAP. So, hopefully, if you are careful and watch your little pirates around it, it may help immensely. :) Good luck! Try boric acid. It repels and kills ants as well as roaches.

Please keep us updated; it will be interesting to see if they keep away. We're using a pest control thing here and I'm not so sure it's helping at all - we seem to have just as many bugs...and all those chemicals! Wow, how interesting!

I sprinkled the stuff around the doorway, in and out, then went to the ladies room. By the time I came back the ants were gone. TADA!!! Now I need to find out what to do for the water-bugs that will arrive in a few weeks. Well, I was impressed with the instant results.

I think it'll help a few of the Pirates get over their pencil allergy. Thanks Dave, I love that sideways 8 tip. I think it’ll help a few of the Pirates get over their pencil allergy.
