Quote from: garbon on June 17, 2013, 10:01:41 PMPesticides are WMDs? I mean we're not talking DDT.

Chemical and biological agents are considered WMD, I believe.

We're not talking about agents in doses and strengths that would kill humans though.

Well, he doesn't just want to kill one ant cow, now does he? ;)

The ladybugs won't help with the ants.

I don't mind the ants as long as they're not tending aphids.

In any case, I have been informed that double sided tape can function as a serviceable anti-ant barrier and I shall deploy it prior to bringing the ladybugs out of stasis.

Target priority:

1: the Elderberry bush. We will hit it tonight; at dusk.
2: the Apple Tree. I will secure another regiment of ladybugs and deploy them tomorrow evening.

The rhubarb is already written off for the season and has been cut down. A small colony of aphids there is acceptable to keep the ladybugs around over the rest of the summer.

Napalm would work fine.

Meanwhile, I'm setting off a bug bomb tomorrow morning. Pests have no business sharing my space.

You should stay away from those public restrooms.  It's always crab season there.

I saw them crawling around a urinal at the Orlando airport.  Freaked me the fuck out.  Walked to a different bathroom to pee.

Ladybugs are rad and will eat the shit out of the aphids. I support Jacob in his non-chemical pest management methodology.

Like I said in a discussion of the same subject elsewhere - I'm afraid I might burn my house down, and that would count as a win for the aphids. Can't have that.

I'm guessing that's what they were.  It was like 4 or 5 years ago and the thought still makes me cringe.

Crabs are pretty small.

Same here. Three-fold attack in our home begins tomorrow. Heating the rooms to excessive levels to decimate the masses. Following up with biochemical warfare to destroy the young, with continued use of WMD monthly for the next six months to a year to verify complete eradication.

I don't mind bugs in nature, but I will not - WILL NOT, I say! - allow them in my fortress of solitude. :mad:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

The tarp and double sided tape has been deployed.

The lady warriors are exiting their stasis.

T - 5 minutes to deployment
