What is bugging me?


What is bugging me early in the morning? Try a cockroach that greets you in the bathroom. It was show down time. I was armed only with Lysol spray and some Hawaiian perfume spray purchased from the dollar store. The more I sprayed, the more Mr. Roach tried to hide behind the toilet. It finally was climbing out along the side of the tub when I offered it some toilet paper. The roach clung on to the toilet paper and I briskly tossed it down the toilet and flushed my bug fear away. I had conquered and defeated the cockroach. The morning was safe. I could enjoy my coffee with one less bug.
Speaking about bugs, I pulled up a drooping Sunflower plant and I didn't realize there were a row of tiny ants along my feet, until I got bit by one or maybe a couple of them. I did go for the kill the ant and roach spray which I didn't have in the house. It was a fire red can which was on the porch. The spray to the rescue. Most of the ants were gone by the time I got there. I sprayed the area which I thought needed. I even sprayed a couple of holes in the ground which I didn't know if they could be snake holes or some other undesirable creature.
This morning after the adventure, I settle in with the coffee and the outside crickets. The rain storm, I expected to come did not show. I had taken the clothes off the line earlier the previous day. It always seemed to rain when I would have the clothes on the clothes line. Take the clothes down and the rain goes away. I hope you have a pleasant bug free weekend.

    You may have "conquered and defeated" the cockroach but I have got a real challenge for you; invincible ants. It is like something out of a sci-fi movie. They just can't be defeated. Have you gotten the chance to watch the program Verminators?
