Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
For household and recreation problems, we already have many
environmentally safe solutions right on our kitchen shelves, according to McCormick & Co. Inc., the Baltimore spice company:
– Ants in the kitchen cabinets? Cinnamon sprinkled in the corners of the cabinets is the best seasoning to deter these seasonal visitors.
– Barnacles on the hull of your boat? A hearty dose of cayenne pepper to the paint (the next time you repaint the hull) will keep barnacles at bay.
– Raccoons raiding your garbage can? Sprinkle cayenne pepper around the cans and the raccoons will turn up their noses.
And strangest of all:
– Wet hiking boots? Put a few red peppers in the toes.
