May look like one but it isn’t because it is not BLOOD SUCKING!”

True...but it’s nasty looking.

So that’s what those damn things are I had....................

Did you get them off the bus seat? LOL

[Red Badger]

No, I think they came from some rice. They were all over the inside of the pantry and I had to take everything out and spray it with Black Flag. They were everywhere................

Don’t know if it’s an old wives tale but I read on one of the food storage sites to put any rice, flour, etc. that you buy in the freezer for one month minimum to kill these kinds of critters.

Maybe you could tell us who that lovely creature is in your photo?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Hairy little bugger, ain’t he?

...10-pound bag of rice that came from India.

There's your problem right there.

The U.S. EXPORTS thousands of tons of rice every year and some idiot is importing it in 10 pound bags?

That’s because it’s USDA, not DOJ. APHIS is one of the most lethal organizations on the planet.

Although not even APHIS can stop nutria or kudzu ....
