Hurricane Advice

Nope chickens won't touch them. Cat will eat them but they make her drool and act like she's been doing hard drugs so i discourage it.

And nope i didn't eat the unfortunate little stinker he was just clinging onto the side of my cornbread skillet hanging out and being extra crispy.

Let me guess. The chickens don't eat the stink bugs or the biting lady bugs. Mine will eat the fire ants if I expose the larvae, but generally don't disturb the hill without me?

What breed will eat fire ants? That would be good to know.

Please tell us you didn't eat it like people eat chocolate covered ants and fried grasshoppers.

Wow think I will stay out here we have no bugs like you talk about
probably they would drown if here we are in our rainy season now called fall

I've never seen anything like it until I got here.

Yes centipedes can bite. We have a huge centipede on our property...orange headed almost black bodied with yellow legs and back antennae. It can grow to 12 inches bigger around than a pencil. The sting is like a wasp.

The only place you find a centipede like that around here is the pet shop. If I saw one of those things running lose around here I might have a heart attack! I think the biggest one I've ever seen was 2 inches long and that was in the woods. I never saw anything bigger than an inch or so in a basement.

well that it that I do not normally go in a pet shop and that just reinforces why

@rjohns39 do y'all get the scorpions too? In Birmingham, we'd find the scorpions and camel crickets all over. Didn't go barefoot in the yard. There were a few centipedes, but none that big. Got into a couple nests of ground hornets too. I don't like those.

California was fun with tortoises and sidewinders, but no fire ants!

No scorpions or camel crickets, small centipedes and ground hornets. Not a big fan either.

thanks but will stay in our green northwest without really mean bugs

No scorps or camel crickets? You're missing out! Ground hornets are those and yellow jackets the same thing? Scorps are here but i rarely see one, camel crickets have pretty much taken over my outbuildings. Last year we had these huuuge things called cicada killers and that's exactly what they do! Still much better than cow killers.

It was me I've got the stink bugs. I'd trade all the little stinkin sobs for ladybugs any day of the week! They're absolutely everywhere, and I've got nothing against them personally I'm just really tired of seeing, hearing and smelling them.


Kiki, poop boy is doing fine. His grandpa and me took him to the mall for trick or treat and to boo in the zoo.It was just us two cause everyone else had the flu.....omg I'm a poet and didn't know it.

Awe...Aunt Bit Coin took Poop Boy to get candy...how awesome are you!
Need to borrow my spray can so you can spray everyone so you don't get sick too?
