      @YTistooannoying 2 года назад +1

      It's a desiccant. It absorbs the lipids from the exoskeleton of insects, which damages their ability to retain fluids and they become dehydrated and die (not tiny shells scratching them. wtf?). Though it is low risk, it is still regulated in the US due to the risk of inhaling it and causing illness.

    I am also in the process of updating and reorganizing my crafting room. It's a challenge but one that will let my creativity run wild once it's completed!
    Cheers to your new space and letting the creative juices flow!

    thank you for taking up for your linoleum floors, I have always loved sheet lino, because when, not if, your floors shift and move over time, there will be no planks or squares to pop up...they are very beautiful and affordable....

    I have real linoleum (marmoleum "chocolate blues") in my kitchen and I LOVE IT. I actually sweep more often because it's so easy to get them looking fantastic again.
