That's right, I'm sitting on my couch minding my own freaking business and the little asshole crawled up my leg then proceeded to sting me repeatedly after I decided to investigate what exactly it was moving around in there. I'm wearing long socks so I didn't notice it right away.
At least I caught it at my knee before it got any further.
Hopefully that's the only one you find inside your house.

I got nailed while push mowing some of the rough stuff a couple years ago. They got all up in my pants and shirt. Bastages just keep on stinging! I was screaming like a girl runnin down the street. I was told it was funny. SUCKED!This message has been edited. Last edited by: sybo,
Nasty little flying bastids. One entered my house recently and all three kitties went wild. Leaping, jumping and persisting until the invader was vanquished. I think it was eaten, by Aspen, a year old Maine coon mix.

I'm sorry I laughed. I probably wouldn't if it happened to me.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I don't know how much gasoline is needed to kill a nest of those little yellow bastards, in the rootbase of a dead oak tree, but I know how much I used...
And, it It takes 27 minutes to schlep 15 gallons 100 yards using a 5 gallon gas can, a siphon and pouring it all in the nest before the ginormous "FWOOOOMPPP!!!"
