Any green, organic, eco friendly, effective bug control on the market. I think it's a niche worth feeling around here

What do you mean by effective? All organic treatments that I know of are oils off of plants and trees. If they hit the exoskeleton on application they will dissolve it, but if they don't hit it will/may only deter them.

Take marginal effectiveness and the neurotic nature of those who want organic pest control and expect retreats as they don't want to see any insects. Charge accordingly for retreats.

Limestone, I don't think anyone could have said that any better than what you did.

Hardware cloth would be organic. I've read rat teeth are harder than steel, but they don't seem to want to wear them down chewing wire.

That's good answer- I'm thinking about raising certified organic chickens and just trying to brainstorm some ideas. I help raise conventional turkeys at this point using toxic rat bait for rodent control.

Run,

If memory serves me, there is a rodenticide (Cholecalcifera) based on overdosing rodents with Vitamin D. It is approved for use on organic farms.
