Hedge Balls/Monkey Balls

I saw these hedge balls(they have many names,and can be found on eBay)in the grocery store and thought they would be worth the try to control bug problems!
The Osage-Orange tree's fruits contain a chemical (2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxystilbene) that has been proven to repel many of those pesky insects that get into homes: cockroaches, crickets, spiders, fleas, box elder bugs, and ants. The chemical does not kill the insects but for some reason effectively repels them from the area where the fruit is located. Whole ripened fruit left sitting on the floor in places where insects are a problem will usually repel pests for up to 2 months.
