Millipedes Millipedes YUK!

Damn things are everywhere. I had never seen a millipede until this year. No my house is infested with them. My cat is having a blast with them but they are drive me crazy. At night, they seems to start crawling out of the woodwork. There will be like 20 or 40 crawling across the floor. This is sick!!! What is up with that this year???!! Anyone else having problems with them?

No millipedes, but I have noticed another new intruder. gnats. Even at restaurants I've noticed gnats or little bitty fies around.

I haven't seen a lot of millipedes up here yet, but lots and lots of giant flies. Hubby must think we live in a barn, cuz he leaves doors open for no reason. The dog likes to chase the flies - jumps up and barks at 'em, like they're going to hear her??? She actually does catch them once in a while. Spits them out on the carpet then comes to get one of us to show us her 'gift'. Crazy dog!

On the same note, do any of you ever have luck keeping crickets out of your basement and garage with hedgeapples? My hubby thinks I'm nuts (and I am, but I know hedgeapples work) I haven't been able to find any up here yet this fall. Got any you can send?

Tee, they always come alive this time of year, as they are trying to get out of the cold. They don't seem to hurt anything, but are kinda gross! I spray a line of pesticide around the foundation, and that seems to help.

My problem this year is yellow jackets! I have mud daubers all year, but they are not aggressive like these damn yellow jackets. All of a sudden, BAM, here they come out of nowhere. I have been stung so many times in the past couple of weeks, that I am beginning to get allergic, and swell and itch like a madman!!

Funny you say that

The yellow jackets are thick out here too. Thicker than usual. Hopefully we will get a hard freeze here shortly and kill the insects. Haven't gotten stung yet, cause I run like a wimp when I see one.

Well, then put 'em in a box, PM me and I'll give you my address. You have to mail them priority overnite though, so they don't go bad in shipping.

Don't mail them COD. Thanks!
