Thank You Answerers, and awaiting your beloved Answer =)
Answers:
1. Earthworms aerate your soil and are excellent for your garden. If you must rid yourself of them- most of the grub killing products also kill earthworms. That's the only reason I dont use them.
2.Cockroaches-Use a broad spectrum granular bug killer that you spread on your yard. Here i know you can buy Kill-a-bug but it is probably sold under other names too.
3. Lizards. Also good for your yard. They eat the insects you are trying to get rid of. They are usually more scared of you than you are of them. Really dont know how to kill them unless you physically kill them when you see them.
4. Same as answer for Coachroaches #2
5. The same broad spectrum will probably work on ants too.
Although, Terro makes an excellent granular product that you just put around the foundation of your house, garden, etc that is really good.
I dont think any machine or any dehumidifier is going to do you any good. If you have to kill, just use the chemicals. But remember a lot of critters are here for a reason. I myself like bugs except for cockroaches. They are gross!
You want earthworms in your garden. They are a good thing.
sprinkle cinammon around plants to keep ants away.
sprinkle cayenne powder around plants to keep lizards away.
put one cup of soap in a gallon of water and spray on folage to keep all bugs off. (cockroaches, beetles, etc.)
use raid.
If you feel that strongly, care and know so little, you should concrete the whole area. PS. They DO NOT disgust everyone !
