Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, February 4th 2014. Pantry moths! Arrrgh! Roomie and I have spent much of today emptying out the pantry, scrubbing it, throwing out contaminated food, washing plastic containers… and all the other stuff you have to do to get rid of the little beggars. None of the stores nearby have any of the sticky things that catch the strays we might have missed, so we’re clearly not the only ones in town who are dealing with them at the moment. That must be aggravating as heck, hope you got 'em all Kobber!
Today’s Question:
When was the last time you had to deal with an infestation of any kind (ants, cockroaches, moths, mice, wasps… whatever)? What was the infestation and how did you deal with it?
Oh my gosh don't get me started, lets just say I've had two major infestations that were a nightmare to deal with. I thought I was going to lose what little mind I have left! I won't talk about it here because ya'll will think I'm a nasty person but I'm not, stuff happens even to the cleanest households.

Today’s Question:
When was the last time you had to deal with an infestation of any kind (ants, cockroaches, moths, mice, wasps… whatever)? What was the infestation and how did you deal with it? Seems like we get visited yearly by wasps building a hive under one of the eves, a good shot of wasp spray works wonders.

Not an infestation, I just needed to see one bug. When we moved into this house, I purchased new carpeting for the bedroom, I think the color was called stone or something similar. It didn't take long to learn the color of the carpet was the same color as scorpions. Ever since we found a scorpion in the bedroom, we've had an exterminator make a monthly visit.

Have you ever –
Boot-scooted (line dancing)?.....Yes many many moons ago.
Travelled in an ambulance (as driver, passenger, patient or accompanying a patient)?
Yes I had to take a patient to an MRI via ambulance at work. I had to manually breathe for him during the whole procedure as well. It was a pain in the rump. Flown over an ocean?
Yes many many times, including a white knuckle ride during a rather intense thunder storm. Prepared a meal that was so awful no-one would eat it?
Yes but it was liver and onions which I love but John wouldn't eat. Gone out somewhere with your T-shirt on inside-out or back-to-front?
No way.

Thanks Kobber, sounds like that moth problem is a nightmare.
Well that whole 12 hour shift fiasco is a total nightmare. They have nurses working as PCT's. No RT staff except for tons of agency and a lot of frustrated employees. I worked from 3pm until 530 this morning and I'll be back at work at 3pm until? tonight. I'm working another 3pm to 7am double on Thursday. Poor John. His life revolves around my work schedule now and I forgot about roller skating on Friday.

You perhaps know that a good strong mixture of soapy water (Dawn & water) will have the very same effect on wasps as the expensive wasps sprays? Just make sure you use a spray bottle that sprays a strong stream of liquid and not a mist. I use a large medicine syringe used for cattle. They fall like someone hit them with a flame thrower.

~ I spray the tiny ants that come to my kitchen about every 6 weeks, but I just spray a wee little bit where they come in from and they go away dead.
