It just keeps getting better…
Yesterday was a day I don’t really wish to repeat. I came home from work and my dogs had pretty much destroyed an arm of our chair in the living room. That, and they found a CD in the guest bedroom and there was CD pieces and shards of the case all over the house.
Man, was I angry. I threw the dogs outside and proceeded to clean up the mess. They’re just geting too big to remain in the house all day alone with our possessions. They get too bored and start gnawing on anything in site. They must drive the poor cats crazy.
So we went to Wal-Mart and bought a very large water container for them. It holds 2.75L of water and looks like a water cooler. Pretty neat. It should keep a steady supply of clean water throughout the day and it should deter bugs.
I also bought a box of moth-balls, but not for moths. Moth-balls are pretty good about keeping all insects away, including flies. Flies are really bad this year in our neighborhood, and the fly trap I put at the back of the yard isn’t enough it seems.
Using some old hose, I filled both legs with the stinky balls and put one by the back door, and one by the garage door. In addition to the flies, I’m pretty sure it will keep salespeople away, too. Phew!
I think I breathed in a little too much of the fumes from the moth-balls, because I’m not feeling very well today. My sinuses are shot and I feel pretty swimmy.
