TOPIC: Pest Control

After a pole shift, pests that live on garbage such as cockroachs and rats will proliferate. As even such elementary items as mouse traps out of stock, pest control may be a major concern. Many plants mentioned in the book Wilderness Way are natural Insect Repellants. Staying Clean is also a means of avoiding insects such as fleas and Mosquitoes or the Insect Swarms that occur in the wilderness, but many Natural Products repel mosquitoes. Alternatives for chemical pesticides no longer on the shelves are available.
