I do use Amdro on fire ants on occassion. Also, I use an aerosol can of garden spray to control capenter ants where I do not want them. And for the record, I think geckos are cute. And for the record, I think they are vermin. This being Texas, we had a bad Palmetto bug problem. I still have a few but not _nearly_ so many since the Geckos took over, and I still have praying mantises and assasin bugs, as well as plenty of ladybugs. I don't mind a few egg cases. :-) They mostly breed in the attic which is dead space that I don't use. There were a few in the storage area, but that has not been a major problem. I ignore Palmetto bugs mostly but take a garden hose to them occassionally. The grasshopper population has also been drastically reduced. No, they are around but I ignore them So, do you have any bug problems now that you killed them all? No and I get lots of bugs outside that I ignore. I do not get many in the house except for spiders, which I like, and only a few of them. I've been happy too to see the fence lizard and anole populations increase, as well as toads. :-) Yes, but I have trouble with keeping up my toads as I am pretty high and dry. I sometimes have a few that I love to feed Junebugs to on the porch. They become pets. Predator insects are great, but reptile and amphibians eat a lot more! I have snakes. Ground snakes mostly and one snake I have an abundance of is Texas Blind Snakes. I let them live in my flower beds around the house. Garter snakes, yellow bellied racers and Texas rat snakes are infrequent visitors to my yard. Rusty Mase |
