If it kills bugs...

...it can kill you!

Be very careful in your 'war' against the creepy crawlies of nature. I noted some time ago that when I took my daily early morning sun 'bath' to up my vitamin D production, there was very little movement in the area under my lounge. Where were the ants and sowbugs etc that would entertain me while lying on my tummy?

A warning bell went off. If the bugs were all dead, my cells were being blasted with chemicals too. I called the San Diego Extension office and spoke with a 'bug' specialist. He agreed with my assessment that my yard was too dead to the natural comings and goings of the wee guys.

I, like many of my neighbors were signed up with a 'Pest Control' company who came and sprayed EVERY MONTH. Their contract worked really well for their cash flow but San Diego does not require that kind of KILL to maintain human supremacy. I canceled the service IMMEDIATELY!

That was almost a year ago. I now have some movement in my garden. IF the house is invaded (so far no problem), I will order a localized 'cleansing' but I feel good inviting the bugs and ants to share my outdoor living space! If my bugs are healthy, there's a good chance I've living more healthy too!

Live with nature or die with nature. It's a choice...

...the right choice even saves you $500/yr! And you know how we feel about building wealth!
