How to kill bedbugs without pesticides.... [View all]
and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
http://news.discovery.com/earth/plants/how-to-kill-bed-bugs-without-sprays-130410.htm
How do you kill bedbugs without having to sleep in a bed full of pesticides at night? Impale the tiny buggers!
For centuries, eastern Europeans, before the widespread application of pesticides such as DDT, would scatter the leaves from kidney bean plants around their beds as traps. In the morning the leaves would be covered with red dots, where the microscopic hairs on the leaves would have hooked the legs of a bedbug, stopping the creature in its munching little tracks.

Now if I could only find a way to eradicate clothes moths!
