1)Pour boiling water into an anthill to eradicate at least some.
Boiling water is also good for killing weeds. Once you've 'cooked' them, pull them out and put a good drop of vegetable oil there. It will prevent the weed from growing back.
2)Hairspray will kill an insect as well as bug spray.
3)If you find yourself getting sleepy about two hours after lunch everyday, try not having carbohydrates for lunch. Especially if you are at work, it can really affect your performance.
4) ( I mentioned this elsewhere, but it's a great thing to know) Ketchup makes an excellent tarnish remover. Smear it on, let it sit a couple of minutes, then rinse. Shines up jewelry really well and makes those copper-bottomed pots look new(on those, a scouring pad after the ketchup has been rinsed off shines them even more)
