I hate this time of year

[MrBishop]

Carpenter ants are fun, eh :/

We had a wasps nest in a satellite dish's support arm. I was on my InLaw's roof replacing the 'receiver' for it, took it off and out pop the wasps. Oh joy! Stuck on a roof, waving away wasps while trying to loosen coax cables. Those posts are small, but there were at least 12-15 in there.

No stings tho' so it wasn't ALL bad.

I'll trade ya your wasps for our love bugs.

Hey Sharky, don't you guys have the brown widow spider down there now also? Or are you to far east for those little suckers?

 

[Professur]

Have I mentionned I love Canadian winters?

Black widow, or brown recluse (AKA fiddleback)? Both in SC.

 

[Gato_Solo]

Oh, I'll be doing a lot more than that. I was up to get some work done that couldn't be done with kids running about. Specifically, to rebuild a part of the floor, and straighten some windows that twisted when we lifted the place to put a basement underneath. Well, when I pulled off some panelling, Sweet Jesus, a running mass of screeching black : Carpenter ants. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Vaporize them...

My bad. I was reading this and didn't realize I was just a bit west of you. Although, the little buggers will probably spread...

Haven't had enough snow to build a decent igloo in over a decade.

So far they have only been documented in the Biloxi, MS area (thank Gawd).

We have infestations of banana spiders (warning - not for the squeamish) once a year about this time. Those puppies aren't poisonous but they are about the size of your hand. Walking into one of their webs and catching one with your face is an experience you will never forget.

We amuse ourselves by tossing crickets onto their webs and watching them pounce.
