Hello,
I'm looking at the territorial seed company catalog. They sell nematodes,
lady bugs, and lacewings and praying mantises.

Wont they just fly away.


My crappy neighbor lets his cat bust my garbage open. And his dogs bark
and keep me awake. And he's just generally a nuisance.

I'm thinking 18,000 lady bugs in his house for $54.95 should about make us
even.

They don't do anything damaging right. Like eat wood.

Not if you provide a suitable environment for them. Insects only live a few
days or weeks generally, you are trying to establish a breeding population
so there needs to be food and conditions that suit them.

Check the catalog and see if they can do a plague of locusts or cockroaches.

If you are asking if ladybugs eat wood - no.

Cheaper to buy a garbage CAN. The garbage mess is not the cats fault, it
is yours for not using an animal proof can! Otherwise, a queen paper
yellow jacket though an attic vent might work. They eat wood.

Around here , outside cats are strays and have HIV. And if you put a lid on
a can the garbage men throw it away.

I dont want to tear his house up. Just **** him off for a while.

Cats have HIV?
Wow, After google searching, that may be a true statement, I still have
my doubts.
Since you state it was your neighbors cat. Are you saying your neighbor
has HIV or you have HIV and afraid to get some other infection from
cleaning up the trash.

Garbage men throw away your can?
I would complain. Where I live trash pickup is not a community service.
There are competing trash service providers where I live. I would switch
trash pickup providers.

Otherwise, a queen paper

I would move, give your home to the bank. But first buy another home
before your credit gets trashed. Life in the boondocks is healthier
lifestyle it seems.

Gardeners worst nightmare, a neighbor puts salt on their front lawn.
DON'T DO IT! NOOOOO!

Feline immunodeficiency virus, or FIV, is a widespread viral infection that
attacks the immune system of cats. It is caused by the same family of
viruses that triggers AIDS in humans and has much the same devastating
impact on infected cats. It is often referred to as "feline AIDS."

The virus devastates a cat's immune system, stopping it from effectively
combating other diseases and infections. Infected cats eventually fall prey
to a wide variety of secondary illnesses that overwhelmingly prove fatal.
There is no cure, but cats can live for up to 10 years - much of it in
seeming good health - before succumbing.

It is estimated that between one percent and 14 percent of the cat
population is infected with FIV. The disease is transmitted from cat to cat
by blood and saliva. This happens primarily through biting and scratching so
outdoor and male cats that fight with other cats are at greatest risk.

I took fertilizer and a spreader made a big X corner to corner before.
On a previous idiot neighbor. He had to mow it all summer.

I will complain. Where I live, there is no garbage pickup is a community service.
Garbage service providers a competitive place where I live. I will turn Garbage pickup provider.

If you provide a suitable environment for them. Some insects live usually a few days or weeks, you are trying to establish a breeding population so need to have food and conditions for them.
