Bad part of sudden warm weather.

Flies!!! They came out of anywhere they were hiding. And bees, including our honeybees. They were all over the empty boxes we had removed the frames from to get the honey. Hope by tomorrow they are back in the hive out in the barnyard. Flies got that bad the last 3 days I ended up hanging some fly strips.:hammer:

We had hordes of lady bugs. Every wall with sunshine on it was covered. They get into everything. And they bite!

Heck, even with the Prius it would cost too much.:whistling: I will swap you for a couple thousand yellow jackets in my garden shed. They are overdue for a gasoline shower once this cold weather hits.

If you have houseplants they will lay their eggs in the soil and then guess what.

That is why we need ladybugs in the greenhouses. Aphids eat on the plants and the ladybugs eat on them and don't bother the plants. We use the sticky boards as well but the bugs do a better job.

A gal in my office had plants that were infested with those gnats. Soon they were flying all over the place. Luckily I knew how to deal with them.

Made up a rinse of a pesticide designed to do those critters in and watered every plant in the office with it.

The larva feed on the roots of the plants. When they hatch you have a cloud of them flying around the office.

The 35000 I drive costs me 1200 a year more to drive in quiet high performance luxury vs a noisy slow pos. Have your prius. Yes, I am laughing.
How much will it actually cost you in 300,000 miles?
Economy cars aren't so economical once total cost is considered.

Fred - I have no seat time in a Prius. Are they really a noisy pos? I thought those things were supposed to be pretty quiet. Had one pull in my driveway once. Never heard it.
