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.

Fire Ants Are Evil

Fire Ants Are Evil

We’ve been in Texas for two years.

We’ve gotten rid of the chiggers.

We’ve controlled the mosquitos.

We’ve held the wasps at bay.

But there is nothing to be done about the fire ants.

They are evil.

They laugh when you spray them with Raid.

They thumb their little ant noses and continue on their devious ant missions.

I have several new bites on my hand.

How in the world did they get on my hand?

And why would they stop there?

Why didn’t they crawl up and bite my arm?

If I knew what made them stop after biting my hand, I would do that thing again.

And again and again and again.

Stupid ants.

A Fire Ant Bite

A Fire Ant Bite

The only thing worse than a fire ant bite is several fire ant bites.

Yep, I stepped on an ant hill.

For a moment, I was wearing an ant sock.

I got about half a dozen bites, and I’m surprised there weren’t more.

Right now it’s just a little sting.

But I know that in the middle of the night, I am going to wake up with napalm-filled blisters.

Stupid ants.
