About the tis...Ja'Ana feels sorry for you:) <br /><br />About the tissue in the vaccuum cleaner hose....just don't forget to take it out when you vaccuum again:) It kind of clogs things up if you leave it there:( We also suck up bees that sneak in, and even flies in the summer if they get in the house. We can only catch them early in the morning, though, when they are not moving fast.

What ...Stuffing a tissue into the vacuum tube, duh. What a simple solution. Right now they have stopped swarming because the weather is cold. It got down to 29 last night so they are hunkered down out in the woods planning their next maneuver. I know they will return because we swept the porch and washed some of the windows. They always return when the porch is clean. Tomorrow I will be bug bombing the garage and attic so I will be ready!!!!!!! <br /><br />Tell Ja'Ana I had one fall into my coffee cup and sink to the bottom. I didn't know it was there until the last sip. It was horrible. I screamed and started spitting. The boys all came running to see what was wrong, then they laughed. I still don't think it is funny.<br /><br />Never heard of box elder bugs so I had to look it up. I finally found a bug I that hasn't bothered me. It feels like they are all out to get me.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-59807384775981769052017-11-12T19:55:24.966-06:002017-11-12T19:55:24.966-06:00I have subscribed to the Soap Queen's channel,...I have subscribed to the Soap Queen's channel, oh my.

It was part of the old house that was left during the big remodel we did, and they liked that room the best--probably their life-long stomping grounds. Anyway, they would crawl down on her as she was sleeping--yuck!! These were not as big as yours, and not as numerous, and not as aggressive, but....double yuck!! So, we vaccuumed them up regularly. They did stink, but I just plugged the vaccuum cleaner pipe with tissue after each vaccuuming. They also swarmed all over the room directly beneath--also part of the old house. When I was giving piano lessons in there, I remember one little girls who was very young and just couldn't ignore them, so we had to stop and catch a few for her to take home--then carried on. I started vaccuuming right before the students arrived, so only a few were present:)<br /><br />We also used to get box elder bugs that swarmed all over our house each fall. Sometimes they came in, but not to the extent that the ladybugs did.Beckyathomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105835394158145451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-21900621764578243262017-11-12T08:48:03.133-06:002017-11-12T08:48:03.133-06:00Holy Crap!

What a mess.....We have them,too, but they must not like our weather as much as yours because they aren't as prolific here.....I understand your hatred of pesticides. They don't discriminate but, sometimes that's the solution. It drives me crazy that so many non-native plants and insects are pushing out natives. <br />Regarding soap making....I want to encourage you to try it....It's fun and satisfying. Yes, you have to be careful and precise. Look at Soap Queen tutorials on utube and if you like books, I bought Natural Soap Making by Elizabeth Letcavage in Hobby Lobby. It's a great book for beginners.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914703548887252991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-34957283120684825612017-11-12T08:15:25.288-06:002017-11-12T08:15:25.288-06:00So it appears stupidity is not exclusive to only m...So it appears stupidity is not exclusive to only my (USA) government.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-9171157397968586202017-11-11T18:54:59.270-06:002017-11-11T18:54:59.270-06:00À décade or do ago thus happened in Ontario.

We had planned a tour of the garden but had to cancel it. Some of them have the same problem and were very understanding. Other ladies live in subdivisions where the houses are close together and they don't have any at all. I think I will change my meeting date next year to another month.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-73843307983849814862017-11-10T14:53:32.678-06:002017-11-10T14:53:32.678-06:00These pictures shocked me!

At least<br />this invasion did not happen on the day when you had the meeting with<br />the ladies of your Garden Club. Your house seems to be a magnet for these pests. I hope, when the weather cools down, this nuisance will<br />end.<br />ChristelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
