The Bugs Love Me And My Bug Spray!

Bug spray

We’re still in early June, and I’ve already been eaten alive by bugs.

This past weekend I had to do some yard work.

I wore long pants tucked into socks.

With boots.

And long sleeves.

And a hat and a bandana and gloves.

And I used a toxic amount of bug spray.

I still got bitten.

Seriously?

Why do bugs like me so much?

I certainly don’t like them.

Can’t they sense my hostility and my unwelcoming nature?

If a toxic amount of bug spray isn’t enough, how much do I need to be using?

Which is worse – too many bug bites or too much bug spray?

Either way I’m doomed.

It’s going to be a very long and very itchy summer.

I Won This Time! But They’ll Be Out For Revenge

I won this time

I Won This Time!

Fake winter has come and gone..

We had a couple of really cold days.

With freezing cold nights.

You think that would have killed the bugs.

But it didn’t.

We’re now back to Second Fall with lovely, warm weather.

And the bugs are still here.

Why didn’t they die in the cold?

I found an enormous fire ant hill on the patio.

The patio!

Don’t they know there’s a boundary line that they’re not supposed to cross?

I got out the Raid.

Hand to heart, I swear that those evil fire ants thumbed their evil fire ant noses at me and continued on their evil fire ant march through the toxic mist.

I had to spray them many, many times.

I won.

This time.

They’ll be out for revenge now.

I seriously can’t wait for the first hard frost.
