Freak Show

Filed under: insects, poison — Tags: , , — JD @ 11:00 am

Ever seen that Freak Show movie where bugs start crawling out of this guys body?  Or any one of the multitudes of sci-fi shows about bugs instantly coming out of nowhere? I think the first one was Ants in 1977. Ever since learning just how true the words of my roommate were about not leaviong ANYTHING out around this house or thousands of super tiny ants will be on them. Sometimes I think they’re termites but who knows. Anyway, a single drop of cola, tea, or anything not water will have a flock of them out in about 5 minutes.

But why on me? And my bed of all places? Trust me, I wash my sheets way more often than is natural. possibly as much as a hotel. And bleach them for a nice disinfected smell.  I cant stand crumbs in my bed or anything for that matter. No one gets on my bed w/o brushing their feet well on the towel on the floor. But these damn little transparent ant/termite/whatevers have been on my bed this pas week. I have put my mattress out for spraying and airing out in the sunlight twice this week, these fuckers still come back, get on my laptop and while Im pecking the keys, they get on me. I also am washed more often than is natural, so shaddap on those comments.

This is a pretty clean room these days. unfolded clean laundry in a clean chair is about it other than a cluttered table. But no food containers, no trash bags, look at this crap, there goes one now across the screen. Smooshed now. Arrogant lil bastards.

Small waves/periods of this, I could understand.  But the early rains last month caused a lot of cockroaches to start heading into peoples homes up here so I went and got several kinds of poisons. I poured and sprayed that crap all over the place. Windows, doors, corners, floorboards, table legs, table tops, and my room?….oh, I completely nuked my room. But hell, they keep coming back.  Its not a trail or anything I can follow, its like some bug recon, random directions.

Today, I sprayed the kerosene based persistent agent all over the room….and promptly got sick. nasty stuff.
