This stuff is great for outdoor ant problems.  Take care of the problem outside usually fixes the issues inside.

I sprayed this around the foundation last summer and we haven't had any ants since. Meant to do it again once the spring rains stopped but never did. I guess even the ants don't get out in this shitty texass weather.

Good times.
Yes.  Termites. 

And that was after he went on and on about global warming and how we are destroying the environment.

Month's later, when he was going off about how the rising temps were making it hard to keep his house cooled, I recommended it might be time to change the antifreeze.

He was not amused.

Think the fire ants finally relented at the lake I guess with it being so dry. It's been a weekly battle til now.

This is the way.  If you don't have animals, I prefer the kind you put drops on the little cardboard squares as opposed to the plastic traps.

Has this now changed to the pest thread? I got stung by a wasp (or whatever) last weekend and this weekend while mowing. That hasn't happened in years. Today I found a hole in my front yard that goes into a hillside that looks big enough for a snake but those suckers are flying in and out. Would plugging it up with something work?

No. If it is those small yellow jackets, they will tear your ass up. I got into a nest of them while trimming a small hedge about a month ago. They sting and latch on. I was stung about 12 times. Then, after killing them, I got the nest. This was it. From the sound of it, your nest is huge.

Well, shit...

Forgot to put the picture of the nest here.

Those little bastards are Satan's minions.  I ran over a nest cutting the grass about 10 years ago.  My 40yd time was faster than when I was in HS.  Too bad I wasn't being timed.  They hurt like hell and don't quit until they die.

Just got done doing some wire repair on a wasp nest...I mean an AC unit. The wasps are happy again.

Go out after dark and sprinkle Sevin dust around the hole. It's not as exciting as trying to burn them out but it's much easier on the skin. It does work though.

I swear by this stuff. I sent Terminex an actual invoice a few years ago because this Terro square thing worked when Terminex couldn't stop any ants. They actually mailed me a check for like $7.15 or whatever it was.
I was surprised and my morale was uplifted.
The same people demanding everyone embrace your beliefs, have zero tolerance and condemn another for embracing theirs.  Oh, the irony.

I've never understood why people don't use things like this.  Every video I watch seems to involve fire of some sort.  Seems chemicals would be much easier.

Well that storm last night knocked out 1/4 of the power in Shelby County.  Fortunately mine is still on.  SOS you in the dark????

No. We had somewhere around 70 MPH winds but didn't lose power. I thought we were going to lose some trees, but we didn't. There were some knocked down around here, though. We didn't get enough rain to wet the ground. Was hoping we would get more.
Well, shit...

No AC, but could be worse.

The white powder is the pussyfied way. 

They must be held accountable for their actions. 
They must fry. 
They must hear the cries of their kin as they smolder. 
They must be taught a lesson.

Fire is the true way.

Picked up dinner tonight around 6:30. Windows down and it felt awesome out.
