There's this ouch therapy spreading on HubPages. They say antbites and bee sting can cure some terminal diseases and physical discomfort. Thanks for this hub, too!
@HP thanks for the visit
@herb thanks a lot for the visit...
Thanks for the article and information.
Plus a natural deterrent is "pepper". Pepper flakes get rid of insects, and I have heard "basil" is another spice they don't like. Sprinkle a few flakes on windowsills or wherever they congregate; bases, at floor/wall junctions or bathrooms or anywhere the insects invade your home. It looks tacky, but the insects get the hint.
Goodness, I did not know injured bees exuded a chemical - I thought they must 'signal' someway, but this was interesting to know. And I did not know cockroaches could bite. Are you speaking mainly of the BIG ones?
