Thats why there is the worm bin.

My worms survived the winter!!! I thought they would die outside in the cold but they are multiplying like crazy!

If worms don't freeze here....they ain't gonna freeze there. I don't think you can kill the buggers....well, that is if your chickies don't eat them, then they would die.

you should so not skype it for us.
You stick to your own bug classes.
And what the heck do bed bugs have to do with fruit trees ?????????????????????

Never mind, I do not wanna know.

one of my classes this semester is a crop pest entomology class.... so yeah ec for going to this....

they are resistant to most pesticides. wash your suspected laundry on the high setting in the dryer for a minimum of 30 minutes....

theater, airplane and hospitals, firehouses have been the most recent and surprising reports.

I am taking a bug bomb with me and never going to a theatre.....are you serious? Hospitals have sealed mattresses and DO wash & dry laundry to sterilize everything!!

Add a fan.. I have one that I need to add a fan to but not sure how to do it.

Go to radio shack, buy a computer fan, and get 4 wine corks, cut to 1/2 "..drill holes in them as legs, with long thin bolts & nuts, attach the fan in the fan spot..then connect to a voltage reducer thingy (a box on the end of the cord that plugs in the wall.
Ask the radio shack guy for the reducer thingy needed for the exact voltage the fan uses..I will take photos of mine, when I can outside as it is in storage.
The bolts go through the 4 corners of the fan, through a cork 'foot' and up through the top of the incubator, washer & bolt on the top (outside) so the cork 'foot' provides a space where air can get in to the top of the fan, and blow down, make sure it is blowing down, not up.
So the fan, with the cork feets, look like a table, get it?
A fan cannot be mounted against the incubator celing as it cannot get any air that way.
You can also use 4 slices of wooden towel for feet, drill holes for the bolts to go through.
The computer fan fits the exact spot in a little giant, where the little giant fan fits, and cost is way way less than buying a little giant fan.
