Another crude but effective option for killing insects is orange oil.
Unlike those nasty pyrethrins that can kill your pets, limonene is not a
nerve agent but it dissolves chitin which us deuterostomes don't usually
have.  I have sprayed it on my cat-food bowl to kill and repel ants.  It is
quick and lethal and works a lot like a hammer that won't affect plants or
vertabrates.  It is sold with an emulsifier and also used for cleaning so
don't use it in cooking and dilute it a lot if you wash with it.  You can
tell how long it persists by the characteristic odor.
