Great bug control

17 years ago

I've noticed that I'm not have a problem with any type of bugs, even aphids in the LR where my lizard is roaming. I've seen him several times and he's looking fat and happy. I am having an ongoing aphid battle downstairs though. DH suggested getting a few more lizards to release downstairs. I don't think so! In the greenhouse is one thing but I can't see intentionally releasing them in the house.

    if it works, that's great, my praying mantis, isn't doing a very good job, so I had to spray for aphids, it's

    I figured my cats would have gotten him but they haven't. I think my cats are too fat and slow to catch him besides that he's always in the plants. My cats don't even catch mice though I wish they would.

    I am glad my cats do not catch any mice. Cause that would mean THEY are also in the HOUSE lol

    Besides those little lizzards are real fast so good thing that your cats do not care about getting some exercise lol

    I've given up trying to keep the mice out. There's fields and woods surrounding our development. We have had all the spaces where they can supposedly enter the house sealed up but they just find another way in. At least I only have to deal with them when it gets cold outside. Maybe I can find some mice eating lizards. I'll let a couple Komodo Dragons loose in the house! lol

    lol Karyn, I agree with Bruce! Easy to say as its not my house, lol. I'd hate to step on a lizard in the middle of the night! My cats used to bring me presents all the time..there is nothing worse than stepping on a dead mouse in the dark. We used to leave the bathroom window open for them to come in and out, so they always brought things in..mice, rabbits, opposums, moles..ugh. I didn't even know we had big star nosed moles around here till my cat brought one home...half alive to train her kittens with. Heard a weird noise, went in my son's room, he was only about 2..there it was..a big @$$ mole by the foot of his bed, I swear that thing musta been about a foot long...o and then the tail..ick..at first I thought it was a rat till I saw the snout! Then I went to pick it up and it wasn't dead..*shiver*
    My mom was just telling me that the puppy I gave her actually caught 2 mice in her house recently lol. Her cats have never even caught one. Guess she's a mouse dog.

    Hey, you can always get a snake to let roam the house! Bruce would LOVE that!!! LMAO!!!

    Lucky you Daniella. Most never get to see a live Mole rofl. That is why my cats are indoor cats only lol. But the girl is a true killer. Amadeus is like a said...a chicken ha ha ha I believe that is why Aisha is crazy about going into the garage. Lots of gritters to find out there lol.

    Daniella when you came with a snake...I checked out of here lol
