They're Back!

I do no like bugs in any way, shape or form. In fact, I hate them!
A few years ago ladybugs (adorable and harmless to some --- but not to me) moved into the trim around my bathroom window. At least that where I think??? they took up residence. They, evidently, enjoyed their stay enough (those I didn't capture, swat, stomp or flush ... that is) to invite their grandparents, aunt, uncles and cousins. They, basically, took over the solitary bathroom window. The little goobers!

I tried squashing them between the frame and tile by pounding my fist on the trim and watching with glee, I might add, when their dead little carcasses dropped to the floor and I swept them up. I also spraying pesticides around the trim both inside and outside the window and watched more of the deceased drop to the floor. They were also promptly put in the trash. I was positive that would be the end of them. Nope, no such luck. Oh sure, they disappeared for a few months but now that warm weather blesses Pennsylvania on rare occasions they're ..... back.

A most colorful flyswatter now resides in the bathroom and when an offensive little ladybug dares makes an appearance I merely scoop it up and deposit it in the toilet. I quit swatting them because cleaning their smelly, staining yellow gunk off the walls is time consuming. Instead, I've made each and every one of these intruders a deal that salvation is theirs IF they can survive the swirling vortex and rushing downpour of water when I hit the toilet handle.

That's fair, right?


ps --- Sorry Carol, no offense intended.
