Dealing with pests is a largely ignored area of survival. Yet those pests are surprisingly dangerous, carrying disease and eating up our gardens. During “normal” times we keep these pests under control with insecticides; but what about when those chemicals aren’t available? What are we going to do during a survival scenario when the chemical pesticides run out? For that matter, is there a viable option that we could be using now? After all, those chemicals aren’t good for us either. Chemical pesticides are actually nerve agents, just a weaker version of what would be used in chemical warfare. They’re strong enough to kill the insects though, which means that they probably aren’t all that good for our bodies either.
