There are no chemicals involved so I guess it's a green tip. If you have a problem with roaches, ants, mice, or other pests inside the house, gather some crab apples and place them around your basement, crawl space, and foundation of your house. My in-laws have done this for years and haven't even seen a trace of a pest or rodent.

Can you give a little more info? How many? Do you place them close together? Or every few feet apart ? Just a better understanding of how this is done. I've never heard of it and I have a crab apple tree, so I should have enough to do it. Thanks

Hedge Apples work well for this. Known in the midwest as Osage Orange.

You can't be serious.
