Natural Remedies for Roach and Pest Infestations

Another use for cayenne pepper - Somewhat off piste for Earth Clinic but it may useful to know that cayenne pepper is a harmless and effective way of getting rid of field mice and shrews, which are looking for a warm indoor habitat in winter. Simply scatter a heavy dose of cayenne pepper close to the point of entry. The pepper makes the wee beasties sneeze and sends them scuttling off at top speed to find a more welcoming place to nest over winter. It works a treat!
