What Are Some Of The Things That Annoy You?

I hate people who allow roaches to take over their house and act like you are supposed to ignore them. Boric acid is very effective and doesn't cost much. And I know roaches come in the mail. I keep a can in my living room for junk mail and have seen them coming out of it. When it the only place you ever see one, you know it has to be where it came from. That's why I keep a can of Raid right there too.

The toughest pest to control in my situation are gnats. I know they come from dish water drain, but the only way to keep them in check is with a glue strip. Those thing are ugly and messy but seem to be the best solution I've found.

 
IDK how far north fire ants are a problem, but it's a battle every summer down here. At least they don't invade the house. Probably the worst outdoor pest, aside from the fire ants, I've ever had was with chiggers. Went fishing at a friend of a friend who had a small pond and freshly mowed the grass, or more like hay I suppose, but the three of us ended up eaten up by those things. The worst part... well, remember talking about crotch rockets? Yeah, they liked that area best for some reason. /default_ohmy.png

 
I've dealt with chiggers and fire ants, to me the little fire ant bastards win hands down! (1) They all get on you and send the signal to sting or bite at the same time and believe me, it feels like fire! Chiggers itch like hell but rather put up with that than the damn fire ants. Besides you can't permanently kill the lil suckers, just show up somewhere else.

 
They are both pesky, but for me the fire ants are something you can see and for the most part avoid. I've only had that one bad encounter with chiggers, but it wasn't until it was too late to know they were there. Although there was minor irritating symptoms at the time it was nothing like what What I dealt with the following week. At least with the ants you know right away theres a problem, and they don't seek out sensitive areas to bite you. Having a "sack full" of chigger, which isn't really easy to get rid of, was a lot worse. The ants let you know immediately you have a problem, but the chiggers are not something you can see, and as I said, I don't know of a way to treat them after becoming a victim.

Thankfully I've only had the one serious problem with the chiggers, but you make a valid point about the ants. Get rid of one mound and the bastards show up next week a few feet away. IDK if anyone else has noticed, but in the spring, after a rain you can see the ones awaiting their opportunity to start their own colony climbing to the top of the grass and flying away. Would be queens are the ones that have wings, which they remove before digging their own spot and hoping to start their own colony. Just a bit of "Animal Planet" I learned by accident when walking out after a spring rain. "The More You Know..." type of thing. As my nephew once said I know a little bit of useless information about a lot of stuff. /default_smile.png

When we bought our house (foreclosure deal) these ants were singing "kumbaya" hand in hand, swaying...they were 90% of what was holding our house together, after they'd dined on the place for the last decade.

Yep, hate 'em even more now that I type that out (Cat: while you are over there obsessing about sponges, here I sit pacing over ants)

KK, I really do wish I could take some of this SHIT away from you.  It just doesn't seem fair that good people get to carry such heavy loads.

I can only say that some believe that we only are given what we can handle...

You're strong as an ox still (just in different ways)

I'm glad you have your family; they are your riches.

Hang in there, 

Beranda

I would knock on wood, but then I'd probably discover my wall falling from those things. Maybe the fire ants kick their butt, idk.

I did happen to catch two chicken snakes (aka rat snakes, among other names) this year, one being almost 6 feet long. If anyone has seen "Legend of the Swamp Man", it's what he caught and bit the head off of, but he called it a water moccasin. The one he caught had brown stripes, cotton mouths (aka water moccasins) are completely black.  I let them go, better to have them control the mouse population before they come indoors and cause havoc. I hope to have a chicken coop next year, then my attitude may change.
