Bugs/Insects/Spiders/Stinging Flying things/etc... you are on notice. I have poison and I am not afraid to use it!
I am not a fan of bugs, especially not when they are in my personal space - which includes anywhere around my house or in my yard really. Since our house is fairly new and was built on what used to be an overgrown field of nothingness, we have had an ongoing issue with bugs. I am afraid this year they will be even more of an issue thanks to the very mild winter we enjoyed.
I made a trip to Lowe's today and stocked up on my favorite brands of poison. There is the super smelly fire ant killer, the shooting cans of wasp/hornet spray and the concentrated general insect killer that is strong enough to take out small frogs. I will add these to the inside bug killer and spider killer we had leftover from last year. The concentrated insect killer is my favorite. I spray this around the entire perimeter of the house and garage. I can normally see a ring of death in the garage within a few hours!

| The Poison Purchase |
You may be thinking that all this killer juice is a little overkill (haha), but I assure you that it is not. Wasp/hornets attempt to build homes in our eaves and porch area each year. I have actually already taken out one nest this year. The spray works great and will even make the little guys fall out of the sky if you get some directly on them. Fire ants also seem to be a continued issue for our front yard. I'm not sure if the killer actually kills them, or just gets them to move on to another yard, but as long as they aren't in my yard, I am happy.
The biggest battle so far has definitely been our garage - I am pretty sure they could have filmed A Bugs Life 2 in there last summer! I noticed that there was a gap between the brick foundation and the walls of the garage and suspected that was providing on open gateway from underneath the house. Daddy caulked everything up last fall, so I am hoping to have fewer issues this year. I will still lay-down a good thick coat of concentrated insect killer with a layer of spider killer just to be sure.
New to the party this year is the Kudzu Bug. Although we do have kudzu in the area, I have only seen these ladybug looking pests stuck to my windows and siding. I'm hoping the poisons I have will take care of these guys too as there seems to be a large number of them around!
