The product I’m about to tell you about is super versatile! I’ve never seen anything like it! It’s called First Saturday Lime.
You’re probably confused about what this product is exactly. Let me explain.
The company that created this product, First Saturday Lime (or FSL), “took hydrated lime (the strong stuff) and made it insoluble so that it doesn’t react with moisture, whether on the skin or in water.
This means that FSL is way stronger than quarry lime, or ‘barn lime,’ but it is safe and not caustic like hydrated lime.”
A simplified explanation of what FSL is: it’s precipitated calcium carbonate.
Now, before I learned about this product, I would have had no idea what to use it for.
Well, it turns out this product can be used for several, very useful tasks.
Here is a list of its more popular uses:
- it can be used as an insect/pest repellant,
- increase the pH to sweeten your crops,
- use for sanitizing chicken coops, stables, and barns,
- prevent the growth of algae (and prevent mosquito breeding in areas of water),
- whitewash walls of the outdoors, and
- create a cost-efficient, chalk paint (this is my favorite idea).
If you want to read about more ways to use FSL, go to the product’s website “Tips” section.
It’s amazing how many ways this product can be utilized.

I am your ideal customer. I’m not only Exterminate my yard, also exterminate several neighbors in our town houses. I’ve tried a couple of times and became so annoyed with your site that I gave up. In a couple of places you use Circus-barker tactics with pop-ups that I could not figure how to get rid of so I could continue reading. Your FAQ page would not populate. And I could never find a list of pests that this gets rid of. Mosquitoes, excellent. Does it also get rid of big roaches? And please get an editor. Your copy could be folksy and still be tightened up, with less exclamation points!!!!!! /// i’m certain that I will still by your product; I’m rooting for you! These are kinks that can be worked out. God bless you. Beverly Sanders
