Today is Take-Out-The-Trash Day. Tada... Anyway, during this process of taking the garbage to the curb, I had to avoid the puddles on the drive & the mud patches in the yard. On the way back in, I noticed something I thought I had dealt with already.
The rain seems to have summoned up numerous fire ant mounds. I hate those things. I just treated for them less than a month ago. Apparently, the rain gets them up & going. There were a dozen of so fresh mounds. The stuff I use to kill them is potent & effective, but it seriously stinks. This round of treatment wiped my supply out. So, I'll have to go get more.
That means going to Fort Smith. I just looked for it at Walmart & they're out for the season. I have go to Fort smith this week anyway, so I'll look for some when I'm there. I need some more weedkiller as well.
I am so not a fan of the bugs that live in my yard. I hate the fire ants, fleas, red wasps, the huge roaches (we call them water bugs around here) & the stink bugs. Then there are the slugs & black widows. I do like our praying mantis, walking sticks, dragon flies & mud daubers (they eat spiders), the colorful garden spiders, lightning bugs & locusts (cicada).
I just took out the trash & treated the yard, so I'm a little beat.
Cya...
