The only one that I know is

Duct Tape for warts
Cut a piece of duct tape the exact size of the wart, and hold it is place with some electrical tape, within a few days the wort will fall off. **NOTE** do not put the duct tape on your hole finger, it will eat the shin.

Sure does. In Central Texas during the summers the fleas get really bad on the ranch. If you place bowls out with a little bit of Dawn dishwashing liquid they will actually jump into the bowl and die. Spraying your lawn and around the house with Diazinon gets rid of every insect and bug you can think of and doesnt harm plant growth. Sulfur works good also.
