no clue. im sure he didn't like the weather yesterday, and since it was all shitty out there was no bugs and no reason for him to leave again, so hell more than likely be there until dusk today, if you wanna come by and try to wrangle him.

Cute little feller! Hope he brings friends back as long as they don't find a place to roost in the attic. Good critters to have around as long as guano isn't piling up somewhere inside. Bats for the bugs, owls for the mice.

I can relate big time.. The ****** that lives next door to me breeds mosquitoes... He has a stupid water garden with tons of standing water. I'm about to sabotage his garden with some of those larva donuts...

i wanted to do this to an old neighbor who had let his pool become a pond. i was getting very close to dumping old oil in his pool to give the surface an unliveable film because the mosquito dunks cost money

I know all about pool swamps. The house behind me fell victim to this shitty economy. I'm guessing some shitty bank owns it now. The pool has turned into a mosquito nesting ground. I cant go outside without getting eatin alive.
