I am lucky enough not to have black widows hanging about, but I did recently have the pest control guy here making sure the termites and mice don't eat us out of house and a/c (last year we had mice living in the unit outside and the bastards ate the wiring - they all need to die). <br /><br />I saw an Earth Day sign but had no idea when it was supposed to occur. Now I will be able to tell my husband we need a nice big fire in the fireplace that night.Teresahttp://technicalities.mu.nunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608360170880545232.post-88770029760777558332011-04-18T20:32:38.387-07:002011-04-18T20:32:38.387-07:00Leeann: Fire ants are instruments of Satan and not...Leeann: Fire ants are instruments of Satan and not of Mother Gaia. "Earth-friendly" is not a concept that need be applied when dealing with them. Agent Orange, bootleg DDT, nuclear waste, and holy water are all fair game when dealing with them.<br /><br />Mitchell: Wash fires are a "secret" locals entertainment here. Next time you see the black column of smoke, load up a cooler and some lounge chairs and head for Sam Boyd Stadium. The highly over-paid LVFD will show you where to park. Enjoy.<br /><br />Joan: My usual rule when it comes to Black Widows is as Sheri would say, "Kill it with fire" but when faced with a massive infestation, I have to go Nazi and take the Zyklon-B route - Oh, that was wrong - and resort to chemicals.<br /><br />Rachel: Please tell your old dad that those trees you'll be planting are non-native.Squirrely wrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448933908031317236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608360170880545232.post-66482815949510074302011-04-18T15:23:55.341-07:002011-04-18T15:23:55.341-07:00Makes me wish I had a big-ass truck and a 10% off ...Makes me wish I had a big-ass truck and a 10% off Lowes coupon.

I searched my Droid but the answer was not forthcoming.<br /><br />Black Widows do astonishingly well here. They're the sloppiest webspinners I've ever seen though. <br /><br />Last weekend I too had to deal with the weeds lest I dare the wrath of the HOA board. I pulled the biggest ones and let Round-up take care of the lesser ones.Mitchellhttp://anomalycentral.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608360170880545232.post-7662695819202336392011-04-17T18:59:11.825-07:002011-04-17T18:59:11.825-07:00"...pretty much like Charlie Sheen at a porn ..."...pretty much like Charlie Sheen at a porn star convention."<br />This is a classic that will become the standard measurement for... well, anything, in the coming years. <br />In prep for Earth Day, I bought four gallons of bleach (fire ants) and six cans of Raid (everything else.) Oh, and the GOOD lightbulbs.LeeAnnhttp://lookababywolf.comnoreply@blogger.com
