And a few months ago, I was complaining about the never ending winter here in the Northeast. One good thing about these winters up here is that they kill every bug so that in April, they have to start all over again and never really get a foothold. But there are a few weeks where the deer flies and mosquitoes make it tough to be outdoors.
Like the never ending winter you were experiencing, the fire ants seen to go on forever in Texas. Just about the time we think we have them whipped, something like a flood comes along and they are more prevalent than ever once again. It’s a losing battle.
They will migrate off our property and wait patiently on our next door neighbor’s property, only to return with a vengeance when we think you have gotten rid of them for good. They eat the pesticides like candy and their population appears to dwindles yet they survive to pester us time and again. It is a cycle we have experienced for decades in Texas.
