2 parts borax 2 parts washing soda 1 part zote and fragrance and you'll have cheap good laundry detergent that doesn't bother sensitive skin. Also how can people be so stupid.

Leave out the fragrance for sensitive skin.

Also if you have a bug problem that needs dealing with, and don't live with pets, toddlers or now apparently anti-vaxxers. 1 part Diatomaceous Earth, 1 part Borax, spread in a thin covering around the affected areas.

When I was a kid my dad would make ant baits out of boric acid and honey, keeping them out of reach of the dog and being very clear with my brother and I that this was poison. I did the same in an apartment a few years ago to take care of an ant problem, and it worked great. About 2 parts honey to 1 part boric acid powder, I think?
