I hope so. They’re the best at pest removal!
“In Colorado, yellow jackets were aggressive and fast. Chased me all over the place.”
yes, they are! These are some very MEAN damn bugs in Colorado - I think they like to bite just for the fun of it - and I’m allergic to them ...
“Here we have these mud daubers and orange-striped wasps that are slow and docile. I don’t even bother spraying their nests anymore when I find them.”
I love mud daubers - beautiful flashing wings that shimmer in the sun light, and they just quietly go about minding their own business as they build their mud palaces and fill them full of non-beneficial insects as food for their children ...
“I had a girlfriend in Cocoa Beach who let big spiders roam her cottage to eat the Palmetto Bugs! The spiders were big!”
gosh, a regular little Wild Kingdom in her very own living space ... does sound entertaining though, especially if one likes and admires spiders ...
“You’ve got to be smarter than the critters your dealing with otherwise they win.”
like cats, for example. I used to tell people that to be successful with cats you had to be smarter than them ...
Recommendations?
He wouldn’t survive the Florida panhandle.
I hate spiders! And these monsters were over 6” across. I told Kathy that if one crawled across my chest and I had a heart attack that she’d have a lot of ‘splaing to do to my parents.
The Indians used to slather themselves in bear grease.
That’s why you are the star and get paid the big bucks buttercup!
We don’t have a bear season here in the panhandle. Any other ideas?
Seriously? You don’t have Oak gall Mites?
Just wait a bit. You will...
What, you killed them all?
Why didn’t you farm them so you would have constant supply?
Some demographics just don’t plan ahead to alleviate problems.
“And these monsters were over 6” across.”
Hey,what ya gonna do if you want to get rid of Palmetto Bugs “naturally”: it takes a BIIIG spider to eat a Palmetto Bug!
They’ve changed their name. Now they are the Savannah Bananas. Their newest rival is the Macon Bacon. I am NOT kidding!
Yep. They can get through most things if they are encouraged enough.
The netting we have around our cockpit is very fine mesh. The mesh in the ports is less fine and sometimes they fly right through it.
Yikes... just how bad ARE these Georgia sand gnats?
Yep. They had an internet poll for the name.
Haven’t made it to a game yet, but, the Sand Gnats always put on a great show.
The Macon Bacon - LOL!
The mosquitoes ate them all.
