It hit 80 degrees today. That isn't why I am frowning. I am frowning because I saw mosquitos already. This summer is going to suck.

Speaking of bugs and suck... I ran into a tick on me kitty last night. Thankfully the lil bastard hadn't latched on yet and was just crawling around, but I'm hoping it's the only one we see. Had a terrible infestation in the area several years back where I had the wonderful task of removing ~100 or so from my dog each night when I got home from work.Quote:

I'll usually have to brush about 20 off per hike, but they never actually bite. Screw natural, nuke them with chemicals.Quote:

:cry:
Maybe I'll try this approach this year. My dog couldn't stop catching ticks last year, it's frustrating living on the boarder to woods.Quote:

At that point, all I could do was try to get some of the neighbors to treat their yards, too.Quote:

I've never seen an infestation like that before and I hope to never see one again.
Now and again the animals will pick up one or two which doesn't require doing anything but removing and terminating the bastard(s). I was bugged out (ah, I'm so funneh) enough to check my bed, though, since I know the cat has been on it in the last day or two prior to me finding the lil bloodsucker.
I'm with ya on the chemicals, though. No way am I gonna fuckin plant some garlic or whatever instead of breaking out the nuke. Ain't nobody got time for that!
I need to find a bigger warehouse within 30 days and probably spend 3x what I'm currently paying.
Dis class man... guh. :|
