How to Use the Science of Radionics to Control Pests in Your Garden
By Don Paris

Interest in organic foods and organic gardening has been increasing year after year. It has finally reached the critical mass where it has become so mainstream that even Wal Mart is starting to carry organic products.

Organic farming and gardening needs to continue to evolve to meet the increasing demand for organic products. One of the ongoing challenges is pest control. Research done by the New Horizon Trust, a radionic research and training organization, has lead to some fascinating advances in pest control.

Before we get into details about the techniques, I need to go into a little more background. Until recently, our western civilization believed in a strict Newtonian separation between our inner experience and the world around us.

Two recent movies you may have seen, “The Secret” and “What the Bleep Do We Know?” have made it quite clear that the observer and the observed are inseparably intertwined. This truth is one of the more amazing discoveries to come out of research into quantum physics.

Of course, it is sometimes difficult for us to grasp how interconnected we are with the universe because we are not well equipped for this experience. This is one of the reasons that a science called radionics came into being. Radionics lets us communicate with the universe through the subtle energy fields that connect us all. You can find good information about radionics at www.wikipedia.com.

Radionics instruments consist of a device for tuning into the appropriate subtle field channel, an interface for tactile communication and an interface where you place a picture (or other representation) of what you’d like to communicate with.

There are a number of different radionics-type devices. One of the most advanced, the SE-5 Plus, does the tuning with a small portable computer. The tactile interface, called a “stick plate,” sits next to the computer. The stick plate is so-named because the plate becomes stickier when you rub it if the reading is positive. Also near the computer is a slot for a picture or sample.

Now back to the example about pest control with radionics. There is a huge amount of research about using radionics for gardening and farming, but the following example will give you a taste of what is possible.

You place a sample of the crop or field soil into the provided slot. The computer can connect with the “portion of the universe” this sample represents. Next, you write your request and enter it into the computer. For example, it could look something like this: “ALL CORN BORERS LEAVE THIS FIELD NOW SO THIS CROP CAN FLOURISH.” Then you follow a short procedure and set the program running for a set time.

Using this and similar techniques, it is possible to farm organically and produce high yield, nutritious crops with excellent storage characteristics. In a nutshell, that’s all there is to it. Note that this method is quick, easy, costs nothing and is totally organic, as there is no need for chemicals or pesticides.

Don Paris, Ph.D., who is a “quantum shaman,” has studied, worked and taught a long time in the field of making subtle energies concrete and accessible.

Selecting a Pest Control Company
By Aldene Fredenburg

If you have a problem with unwanted pests in your home, and you've exhausted all the self-help remedies you know, you may be considering hiring a commercial pest control company to deal with the problem. Hiring a professional might be exactly the right solution for you; but you need to do your homework.

First, how do you locate a company? Checking the yellow pages of your local phone book might be a good start; doing a keyword search on the Internet for your area could also work, and you have the added benefit of seeing what information the company provides, on itself and on pest control generally. Ask friends and coworkers for recommendations

After you've developed a list of pest control services, and before you call these companies, start asking more questions of your friends and coworkers. Have any of them used these companies? What was their experience? Did the company in question solve their pest infestation issues? Were there any problems dealing with the company? Any problems in the home after the company performed their services?

Once you've narrowed down your list to a few potential providers, call them on the phone, and ask some more questions: does the company offer a free home evaluation and estimate of costs? Does it give you advice on what you can do to deal with the problem yourself? Is the company willing to answer questions readily?

Specific questions to ask: what kinds of chemicals are used? (If possible, have them provide written information on the chemicals.) What sorts of side effects or potential dangers do these chemicals have on family members, adults and children, and on pets? Do your family and household pets need to vacate the premises during the pest control treatment?

Make sure you ask whether the company offers nontoxic, natural pest control. The company should be willing to at least discuss the options; if its representative just dismisses the notion of nontoxic pest control without intelligently discussing the pros and cons of the natural remedies available, but just wants to get into your house and spray, beware!

With written information (or your own notes) in hand, do your own research on any chemicals that will be used - their effectiveness, their possible side effects, their potential toxicity. (The Internet is a great place to start for this.) If you have family members with serious health issues, particularly asthma or other respiratory ailments, make sure you know what the potential effect of sprayed compounds could have on them.

Finally, if you have any questions about the company's reliability, and you can't find anyone you know and whose judgment you trust to vouch for them, contact your local or state Better Business Bureau or Consumer Fraud Division, to find out whether there have been any complaints lodged against them.

Once you've hired a company, make sure you know who is going to be showing up at your home and when. Make sure they have proper I.D., and ask if you can be there to supervise the process or if you have to leave, and for how long. And while you've got access to the professional treating your home, ask what you can do to avoid pest control problems in the future, particularly those involving destructive carpenter ants and termites. The guy (or gal) who actually does the work probably has insights into the subject that the office staff doesn't have.

Control Pests without Harmful Chemicals
By Aldene Fredenburg

Garden and household pests - unwanted insects, including flies, mosquitoes, fleas, cockroaches, termites, and moths, and intruders like mice and rats - are annoying, destructive, and potentially harmful to the health of humans and pets. But the use of chemical toxins to control these pests is a problem - who knows what some of these chemicals themselves can do to the health of our family members?

Luckily, there are ways to combat these invaders without resorting to potentially poisonous chemicals. Essentially, there are four approaches to pest control; used in combination they can go a long way to eliminating insects and rodents from one's home and outdoor environment.

First, make sure you're not creating the conditions that invite these pests onto your property. Standing water attracts mosquitoes; take a walk through your property and make sure you don't have bowls of water, discarded tires, and other receptacles that can contain rain water. If you find them, get rid of them. Poorly stored food and stray crumbs can attract ants, roaches, and mice. Keep your food stored in airtight containers, wipe down counters, tables, etc., and sweep the floor frequently, discarding the refuse and removing in from the house.

Secondly, provide barriers, either physical or biological, to repel insects and rodents. Properly maintained and installed screens on windows and doors will help block flies and mosquitoes from the home. Simple to use, nontoxic home remedies can repel insects; for instance a brew of catnip tea, sprayed in a solution around cupboards, baseboards, and other areas, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, can repel cockroaches.

Third, you can add beneficial insects and other organisms to your environment. Adding ladybugs to gardens has been a natural remedy for years: ladybugs just love aphids, and will eat them before the tiny insects can ruin your growing plants. (Some people go so far as to add a gecko or two to their homes; geckos eat cockroaches, and will help keep an infestation under control; you'd have to make up your mind if you really want to live in the same house or apartment with a couple free ranging lizards. If you have small boys, chances are they'll be thrilled!)

Finally, if all else fails, there are compounds, safe to humans with normal use, but deadly to pests, that will eliminate some insects for good. To rid your home of cockroaches, for instance, put containers of boric acid behind counters, in the backs of cupboards, in shelves, and other areas that cockroaches frequent; they'll eat the boric acid and return to their nests, carrying more boric acid with them; the boric acid will kill them and the other inhabitants of their nests. (Make sure you keep the boric acids away from children and pets.)

There are also nontoxic, natural preparations sold commercially which can be used to repel or eliminate pests without adversely impacting your home environment. In short, there are many natural, safe options for eliminating pests that you can use to make sure your home is a comfortable, enjoyable environment for your family, not for unwanted guests.

Pest Control Tips

Problems with pests and critters have long been an issue for homeowners to deal with. It is pretty easy for pests to get into the home through windows, chimneys, doors, cracks, and a slew of other openings.  When you have an infestation, it will be likely that at some point you will need the services of an exterminator. Here are a few basic things to keep in mind when trying to find an extermination contractor:

1. Before entering into any contract with an extermination professional be sure that you fully understand:
   
   
   • the pests that you have,
   • the extent and scope of the infestation to your home, 
   • the nature of the work that will be necessary to remove the pests.
     
     
2. Try to find an exterminator or extermination company that has liability insurance that can be used to cover any damage to your home that may occur over the course of extermination. Pests generally infest hard to reach places and often require the use of chemicals to remove them so this is important.
   
   
3. Be sure to inquire into the risks of any chemicals or poisons that might be utilized by the exterminator.
   
   
4. If an exterminator gives a guarantee, be sure to understand the terms and how long will it last.
   
    
5. Generally a maintenance program is required on a periodic basis.  Discuss the cost, frequency, and treatments that will be needed prior to entering into an agreement.
