Insect Problems
« on: August 31, 2013, 02:19:44 pm »
So a few weeks ago, the A/C at the ranch went out.  Ants shorted out the contact switch.  I got up here last night, and the DirecTV is out.  A giant banana spider has built a web across the dish.  I sweep it off, and everything is cool.  Today, that little fucker has built the web back.  Normally, I like having the banana spiders around, but this little bastard is pissing me off. 

I sure wish it would rain.

Had the ants in the AC issue when we lived in Alabama.  Sprinkle Comet around the unit.  Ants won't cross it.  That is what the AC guy did and it worked better than any bug killer.

The only reasons for satellite TV to go out:

1.  Improper installation
2.  Trees, houses, etc. blocking view
3.  Banana spiders

Got it.

Lettuce will attract the bugs that the spiderturtle wants to eat.  It's really not that complicated, people.
