Au contraire. I’m in your area and have weird looking beetles or something marching across the porch. There’s fire ant mounds all over. Piss ants everywhere. The flies are just as bad as they were mid summer. I haven’t seen the like of spiders. I just used the broom to clean down the spider webs for Thanksgiving but it looks like a Halloween house already inside and out.
I finally turned on the heater at night just a few days ago but it’s off during the day as the furbabies come and go. Though that might change in a couple days as it’s supposed to freeze and chance of flurries. The cold won’t last long enough to slow the insects down.
Interesting. Everything is dead here. No fly’s. No mosquitos. No spiders. No ants. Crickets just about gone. In this area, have to spray a defensive line of bug spray along the outer areas of the shop during summer. You probably are further south and more west than me.
