I'd rather deal with the insects, thank you!

Well, I won't be relocating to British Columbia soon either!

LOL kaykay, are you having trouble from those things already this year? I remember your aversion of them from a post last year....

Thankfully, we don't have those things around here, if we do they stay well hidden!

Kaykay, I know how you hate them and I'm sorry it's in your house. I'd have the same fear if a hisser was in my house. No, actually, I'd be living outside if one was in here.

You have two options~you can borrow one of my kitties, but we've taught them not to kill so they won't help you much. OR you can trade places with me cause I like geckos. I'll let you choose.

That's funny, Debey! Now Kaykay has two outlets for her geckos and she doesn't even have to drive far once she gets up here since we don't live far apart.

To all you who hate summer, move to England for God's sake. It is extremely cold here all the time in summer, if not totally overcast. Temperatures might hit 80 degrees once a month, in the south.

That said nothing about our coldness is stopping flying ants and infestations hoarding inside my toilet-room.

These days, we have the little rascals from about March through October.

We have them from about March-October, but they are especially prevalent in the summer months, the warmer it is. When it begins to turn cool, they go away.

I'm thinking....I'm thinking....not sure I could get the husband on board with either option.

Yes, they eat bugs, but I'd rather deal with the bugs.

It's a thought, but again, if my husband won't even move to the northern United States, I doubt I could get him out of the country!

Maggie would have such fun with that gecko! I HATE summer too, but not for this reason, I just HATE the wretched steamy humidity

On the bright side you may be able to save some money on your car insurance.
