Mrs G says she hasn't had any encounters with these buggers. She says you could hit it with a one-time serious chemical treatment...but...they're in the neighborhood and in your immediate neighbors yards, so that may be temporary.

The traps work well, after which you can feed them to chickens, and then make nice cutlets to eat while admiring your flowers.

Its the circle of Death.

Death, death, death, death....lunch

cruel, but tasty......

I can't find live chickens on Amazon...

These bag-a-bug traps solved the issue for me:

I hang one in my flower bed and another out back in my veggie garden. They haven't touched my roses nor veggies since I started using those traps 3 years ago..

heyyy...y'know....Mrs BB and I have been debating for years a curved sunshade thing for our not-square courtyard. I want to learn how to calc tensile fabric curves (Denver airport roof) and have a long asymmetrical thing made. She wants to buy a generic little Costco triangle and hang it with ropes.

I saw your link, went to a sub-link, and these people make a zillion variations of right triangles that would fit just nice, for 100 bucks or so....! 12 x 19 x 22.5

I use this stuff on my forearm because, well, I'm 51 and my body is slowly breaking down. I'm not bummed out by it; I see it as a totally natural process that happens to every living thing since the beginning of time.

I spend quite a bit of time using my computer's mouse, and it causes muscle pain from overuse. This stuff helps a lot.
