<span style="color: #7f6000; font-size: large;">I don't know what it is about the critters this year but they seem worse than usual. Our toddlers are not bug friendly. Each time they see one, the screaching begins. Mom or Dad has to swoop in, being the SuperHeros that we are, and kill the offending intruder. Ta-Da!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-size: large;">Blue Eyes and I have regular bug service, as we always have, but it's just not cutting it this year. Maybe all the rain? Everytime we run a bath, we have to clean out an earwig or an ant...or two. Not bad, but annoying. I keep finding single ants or ant carcasses all around the house. The scouts are out! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-size: large;">I love to read Organic Gardening. I knew they would have some ideas. They did! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-size: large;">I found this solution formula at organicgardening.com so I am passing it on...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>1.</strong> Make a solution of 1 percent boric acid (available at any drugstore) and 20 percent sugar by thoroughly dissolving 1 teaspoon of boric acid and 6 tablespoons of sugar in 2 cups of water. Use a clear jar so you can see when all the boric acid crystals are dissolved. Soak cotton balls in this bait solution.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><strong>2. </strong>Make bait dispensers out of old plastic containers with lids. Punch holes in them so the ants can get inside, then put the soaked cotton balls into the containers and cover them with lids so the bait won’t dry out.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><strong>3.</strong> Place the bait containers wherever you see ant trails, in or outside the house.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">4.</span><span style="color: #bf9000;"> </span></strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">Clean the containers and use fresh bait solution at least once a week.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><strong>5.</strong> Be patient! The key is to get worker ants to continually carry low doses of boric acid back to feed the ants in their nest. Boric acid is mildly repellent to ants, and using a very low dose makes it more likely that surviving ants will continue eating the bait and taking it</span> <span style="color: #bf9000;">back to the nest.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-size: large;">I can't wait to see if it helps! Off to the drugstore I go...NO MORE BUGS!!!</span>Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09039479636734853470noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648596029569450810.post-56068238851124341502011-05-07T22:06:00.000-07:002011-05-08T11:07:27.541-07:00Mothers Day<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"><strong>Some mothers are kissing mothers </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"><strong>and some are scolding mothers, </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"><strong>but it is love just the same, </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"><strong>and most mothers kiss and scold together. </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">~Pearl S.

<div style="text-align: center;">I met Blue Eyes while working a temporary job selling bible studies. We would call churches and tell them about video bible study programs. Our desks were more like library study cubbies than desks. We had walls surrounding us on three sides.Our backs faced out from the fourth side. This was designed to keep sound blocked, or at least minimized, from one desk to another. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">The day I started the job, they placed me two desks away from Blue Eyes. All I could see of anyone in the room was their back. There was a low rumbling all around the room as people talked on the phone. When we made a sale to a church, we were required to stand up at our desk as we closed the sale. I believe this was designed to encourage us as we made many fruitless calls each day. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
