If one showed up, someone would pop him with a handgun, I'm afraid!<br /><br />Cream puffs sound good today! Thanks for dropping by!<br /><br /><br />Hey Anon 5:52...<br />We do have several bird species here that are great with the 'skeeters. Hoping they can keep up!<br /><br />We need all the help we can get!<br /><br />Thanks for the visit this morning!<br /><br /><br />Hey Linda...<br />Someone else told me they were having a big wasp problem. Wonder what it is that draws them to a certain area?<br /><br />Looks like I need to do a little more research!<br /><br />You have a great day and thanks for coming over!<br /><br /><br />Hey Dizzy...<br />Maybe you and I should order a couple of "bat houses" like they use in the Austin area! They work pretty well.<br /><br />Folks are going to start to hunt for whatever works, I think.<br /><br />Thanks, buddy, for coming by this morning!<br /><br /><br />Hey JoJo...<br />I sure don't need any more bats in my belfry!<br /><br />When I lived in East Texas, I had plenty of bats. I could sit on the porch in the evenings and watch them at work!<br /><br />Thanks, sweetie, for dropping by today!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-8645070577562620282012-08-17T09:46:01.969-05:002012-08-17T09:46:01.969-05:00I could use about six of them around my place.

We have a lot of bats for a change. The flies are horrible, though. I can put up a roll of flypaper up by the deck and by the end of the day it's covered.
