Alright. Our front porch is very nice, except for the ecosystem of bug life out there. And not just bugs but hornets, carpenter bees, huge spiders and crickets. Frightful. I was out there last night with Amber and Francheska "taking care of" one such huge spider who had wrapped a dragon fly (3 times it's size) in it's web (the size of half our dining room window) in under 3 minutes. We Raided the spider, and it's egg sacs. I looked above to see quite a few hornet's nests and more webs with more egg sacs in them.. just waiting to hatch and wreak havoc on the Meeks.
I considered getting a powerful nozzle for the hose to spray everything down.. and I also considered just sucking everything up with a vacuum, but I'd want to Raid it first so it doesn't get smart and try to crawl back up out of the vac. Would either of these ideas work? I'm afraid if I Raid at hornets that they will come after me. And I'm afraid if I spray water at bugs nests that it will splash back onto me, and then I will do the bug dance and go insane.
What's the best way to get rid of these pests? I know that nothing will be a permanent solution. I just want to enjoy our porch without being frantic and paranoid and slapping at my skin every time the wind blows the hair on my arm.
Maybe I should buy a bee suit. No- I need a bug suit with like anti-bug vision so it makes anything BUG appear to be just a colorful dot on a screen, for me to eradicate. If my targets don't register as bugs maybe I'd be more brave about my attacks, ha.
