Our house is currently under attack from one of the Egyptian plagues/pestilences...that of the bugs. At one point there were small sugar ants crowding into various nooks, crannies, crevices , cracks in our house. You name it, and they were forcing entry from it.
Fortunately, there is a sleek, chic method of ensuring those little sugar minions DIE. It comes in a spray bottle even! no mess, no fuss...just death:) love it.
Then came the flies. What?? We never have flies; but we did. FRUIT FLIES. how do you get rid of fruit flies?! ...such is the abundance of internet info. we soon had our answer. --apple cider vinegar (tiny bit) in the bottom of a glass w/ a funnel on top and a small drop of dish soap in the vinegar breaks surface tension so they can't climb back up.) it's quite literally a death trap:) and within minutes we had nigh on 50 little black bodies floating/sinking to a vinegary end. yeah!
But that was not the end.
Now there are slugs! ugh! SLUGS!
It began with just one fairly fat creature. Matt kills bugs...I do not. (unless needlessly provoked as in the case w/ the little sugar addicts who started this parasitic parade.) But in this case, Izy was discovered attempting to suck on it's head. EWW!
This was one slug in the wrong house...I sent him home to the sewers. Over the last couple nights there have been 3 other mini-slugs we've found in the shower or on the bathroom floor...was the slug not fat but pregnant?? And where are they coming from? We can't find a point of entry! But one thing is certain...this is undoubtedly WAR! Really. All in caps. and even proceeding an exclamation point! Now to plan our attack strategy. It may be tough as the enemy seems to have created a few waves of alliances, but we multiple digit fingered, higher brain developed beings of the house shall prevail! Besides, we have the advantages of squishing on our side:) ....
