Weevil Tacticals . . .

So the pest control places all want to come by and see - I don't think my landlord is willing to pay for that.

However, Andy knows of a poison that you can spray into cracks that ants (and hopefully weevils) get stuck to their feet and take back to the nest, where they kill everything. I've asked my mother-in-law what it's called and where to get it, and then I will give this information to Angela and she will get it for me.

I'm not going to do much more weevil warring in the next little while, because I don't want to mess with too many chemicals at Christmas. The dogs are coming for dinner tomorrow, so I need to mop up my Raid droppings. Thida's kids will also probably show up at some point, and my floor is an ideal place to play, so I don't want anything getting into their little systems. In addition, the last thing I want to do is go crawling around the floor spraying poison when I'm supposed to be baking cookies, preparing for houseguests, dinner parties . . .

So that's the new strategy. Don't tell the weevils.
