Natural Insect Repellants
Oh for sure fish are very sensitive to most anything. I am no longer
using any pesticides, no killing. I have so much wildlife in my yard
that the balance is incredible to me. It's interesting how when you
leave it alone and let it do what it wants to do, how well it all
works out. But, one caveat, I like a messy garden with some low level
order. The order in the chaos, yeah, that's it.

No, the flowers are crushed up and ground into powder and the entire
flower is the pyrethrum which is not only poison to insects, but to
most mammals, amphibians, and reptiles including birds (descendants of
reptiles).
