Day #172 - Anti-ants....

Time for the bug man again. Between him and us, hopefully we'll win this battle of the ant brigade. We've managed to keep them down inside to a vagrant "scout" on the counter a few times a week. At least we don't have an army of them marching across the kitchen. They're on the move outside though, and relocate to new headquarters every time we invade one of their camps. Tenacious little buggers!

Day #53 - Tool of the trade

It was critter prevention day today at my house so we had our regularly-scheduled visit from the exterminator. Call me silly, but I have this thing about unwanted "guests" and like to keep the creepy crawlies and unloved four-legged furry beasts down to the barest minimum, preferably far away altogether. Living in a rural area, we get more than our fair share - spiders, crickets, ants, earwigs (they used to enjoy coming in to watch the 11 pm news,) mice, squirrels & birds (who liked to nest in our chimney,) moles, groundhogs, skunks, snakes - you name it, we've probably seen it hanging around, chewing on the shed, or dropping in to pay a visit at one time or another.

Oh yeah - tres exciting day, the bugman came! God, I must get out more!*sigh*
